Which investment scenario below is best?
Which investment would you want?
Which investment will make you the most money?
Investment A: Cap Rate 10% 1 year holding period $1,000,000 purchase price $100,000 NOI $1,000,000 sales price End of Year 1
Investment B: Cap Rate 5% 1 year holding period $1,000,000 purchase price $50,000 NOI $1,050,000 sales price End of Year 1
Investment C: Cap Rate 15% 1 year holding period $1,000,000 purchase price $150,000 NOI $950,000 sales price End of Year 1 And no, this is not a trick question. This represents a real life scenario you will have to consider when determining which investment is best based on total return.
The answer is: "They are all the same." If you look solely at Cap Rate then "C" is the best investment as it indicates a 15% return. But Cap Rate only takes into account first year NOI in relation to purchase price. It does not consider the eventual sales price. When you consider the eventual sales price in the equation (and it absolutely needs to be considered) you must look at different investment rule of thumb called yield or Internal Rate of Return (IRR). IRR may be defined as the rate of return earned on each dollar each year it remains invested in the investment.
Using IRR as the measure of performance on the investment, each of the three investment choices generates a 10% annual yield in that in each choice for a $1,000,000 purchase the investor receives $100,000 on their investment and the return of their $1,000,000 original investment.
In Investment A the investor pays $1,000,000 and sells the property for $1,000,000 which accounts for the return of the investment. The $100,000 of NOI represents the return on the investment which is 10% for that one year. The investor invested $1,000,000 and received $1,100,000.
In Investment B the investor pays $1,000,000 and sells the property for $1,050,000 which accounts for the return of the investment and $50,000 of return on the investment through appreciation. The $50,000 of NOI also represents a return on the investment. Combining the $50,000 of appreciation with the $50,000 of NOI, the investor has invested $1,000,000 and has received $1,100,000 during the year, which is a 10% IRR.
In Investment C the investor pays $1,000,000 and sells the property for $950,000 which accounts for only a partial return of the investment. The $150,000 of NOI also represents a $100,000 return on the investment and a $50,000 return of the investment. In total, the investor has invested $1,000,000 and has received $1,100,000 during the year, which is a 10% IRR.
In addition to accounting for the eventual disposition of the property, the internal rate of return can account for multiple year holding periods, different cash flows during those years and the eventual sales price upon disposition of the property. Suppose you hold the property for more than 1 year. Is that a plausible scenario? Of course it is! Most CRE investors hold their investments for longer than 1 year and each year's NOI needs to be considered in the equation not just the first year. Suppose also that tenants moved in and out throughout the holding period and that vacancy rates were different in different years creating different NOIs throughout the years. Is that possible? Of course it is!
Consider that you increased the rents over the years resulting in greater NOIs. Assume that you also decreased the operating expenses which also increased NOI. You will want a measure to account for all of those changes in cash flow (NOI) and take into consideration the net sales price inclusive of costs of sale, etc. and measure the yield or your IRR. In this case study, involving a holding period of only one year, each investment yields a 10% return, but each has a different Cap Rate!
