Fee Simple v. Lease Fee
This seminar deals with the leased fee
interest. However all of the tests cited can
be used to test and understand fee simple
DCF analysis.

Part 1. Model Sensitivity
Low sensitivity is a nonmaterial change
in results < 2%
Moderate sensitivity is a material, but
not a significant change is results and
quantified as > 2% but < 5%.
High sensitivity is a material and
significant change quantified as >= 5%
Part 1, page 3
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-38
Part 1 Model Sensitivity Revenue – Leased Fee
A. Market Rent – Properties with seasoned
rent rolls are highly sensitive to changes in
market rent.
B. Market rent growth – Sensitivity of DCF
results to changes in the market rent growth
rate is similar to the sensitivity changes to
changes in market rent. This is boosted in
combination with high numbers of lease
expirations.
Part 1, page 3
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-39
Part 1 Model Sensitivity
Revenue – Leased Fee
C. Tenant reimbursement of expenses – The
impact in reimbursement levels is dramatic.
Variations in the expense recapture rate
directly affect net operating income and are
not offset by lease rates and expirations.
Part 1, page 3
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-40
Part 1 Model Sensitivity Vacancy and collection loss
A. Vacancy – Modest changes in stabilized
occupancy have a low impact on results
1. Absorption, anticipated lease expirations,
and lag vacancy projections can overshadow
the impact of changes in general vacancy.
2. In property types with relatively high
fixed operating expense ratios moderate
increases in occupancy significantly increase
net income
Part 1, page 3
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-41
Part 1 Model Sensitivity Vacancy and collection loss
B. Collection loss – Variations in the collection loss
estimate produce the same type of changes as
variations in the vacancy estimate.
C. Rollover/Renewal sensitivity – The tenant retention
probability typically governs downtime between
leases, tenant improvements, and leasing
commissions. Depending on the frequency and size
of the lease expirations, alterations in renewal
probability can have a significant effect on results.
Part 1, page 4
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-42
Part 1 Model Sensitivity Expenses
A. Operating expenses – The impact of changes in
operating expenses is significantly dependent upon
expense recapture arrangements.
1. In cases where tenants reimburse all or most of
the expenses, results are only nominally sensitive to
expenses.
2. In cases where expenses are split between the
tenant and landlord, even modest changes in
expenses can have a significant impact on results.
Part 1, page 4
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-43
Part 1 Model Sensitivity Expenses
3. The higher the operating expense rate, the greater the impact of changes in expenses.
B. Expense growth rate – Like operating expense amounts, the effects of expense growth rates are significantly dependent upon expense recapture arrangements.
C. Tenant improvement (TI) sensitivity – The impact of changes in tenant improvements is typically low, but it is dependent upon the cost of tenant improvements. Properties with a high frequency of lease expirations can be more significantly affected by tenant improvements.
Part 1, page 4
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-44
Part 1 Model Sensitivity Rates
A. Discount rate – A change in the discount
rate is proportionally reflected in the result.
The effect of a 25 or 50 basis point change is
low.
B. Terminal capitalization rate – the effect of a
25 to 50 basis point change is moderate in a 10
year holding period.
Shorter holding periods are more sensitive to
changes in the terminal cap rate.
Part 1, page 4
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-45
Part 1 Model SensitivityModel construction
A. Fiscal or annual accounting – The selection of fiscal or annual year accounting has a low impact on results.
B. Holding period – Proper selection of the expected holding period can cause results to vary by significant amounts. The inclusion or exclusion of years with signifcant variations in net cash flow has a high impact upon the value.
Part 1, page 5
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-46
Part 1 Model SensitivityModel construction
C. Discounting period – The use of
shorter discounting period (less than one
year) can have a low impact on DCF
reults.
Part 1, page 5
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-47
Part 1 Model Sensitivity Reversion
A. Reversion year – The reversion year is determined by the selected holding period. If the holding period is not appropriate for a reasonable estimate, then the outcome can be materially affected.
B. Cost of resale – Variations in property disposal costs at the end of the holding period have a low impact on DCF results.

Revenue/Expenditures
Tenant Improvements should be
reasonable based on market conditions,
rent projections, and lease terms.
Rent growth/inflation rates / forecasts –
such as rent spikes and rent of increase
should be carefully evaluated in relation
to investor expectations, market
conditions, and property characteristics.
Part 2, page 14
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-57
Revenue/Expenditures
Market growth should be consistent
with market analysis. Oversupply
conditions are inconsistent with
increasing rents.
Compare rental rates with feasibility
rents, if above then rents cannot be
maintained.
Part 2, page 14
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-58
Tenant concentration
If a large portion of occupancy or
income is concentrated in a single tenant,
the quality of that tenant and the terms of
the lease are important factors in rating
the risk in the cash flow and selecting the
appropriate discount rate.
Part 2, page 14
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-59
Tenant concentration
1. Determine percentage of the total rentable area each tenant occupies.
2. Determine the percentage of total income each tenant contributes.
Closely examine the major tenants contract rent, reimbursements, renewal probability, tenant improvements, and leasing commissions.
Part 2, page 14
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-60
Tenant concentration
3. Credit tenant impact – Determine how
much of the property is occupied by
credit tenants and how much income is
contributed by credit tenants. A high
percentage of occupancy and income by
credit tenants indicates a lower risk
profile for the property.

Reimbursements
A. Trends in the percentage of operating expenses over the holding period can be examined to check for changes in the operational performance of the property.
B. If high percentage of expenses are recaptured the importance of the expense projections can diminish because the property owner does not pay them.***
***This assumes the tenant can afford to pay the pass through expenses.
Part 2, page 16
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-64
Reimbursements
C. When more than 100% of expenses are
collected the expense growth rate
becomes a factor of income growth.
D. In some case, recaptured operating
expenses can exceed actual operating
expenses. This could be due to efficient
property management, expense
reimbursement surcharges, or the result
of errors in the DCF.

Occupancy
A. Vacancy and collection loss – Evaluation of vacancy must be in terms of market and property expectations for tenant absences.
1. Two primary approaches modeling that can used alone or in combination.
a. General or overall vacancy applies a stabilized rate to the income.
b. Absorption and turnover replicate changes in the tenant base.
2. Collection loss is dictated by tenant credit and industry risk
Part 2, page 19
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-69
OccupancyB. Vacancy evaluation:
1. General vacancy projections should be compared to actual vacancy as created in the DCF model.
2. Projected vacancy can be compared to historical occupancy at the subject, current occupancy, market occupancy, and stabilized market occupancy.
3. Appraisers should check the occupied building area in each year of DCF to insure that the property is not being overfilled or over rented.

Lease Expiration ScheduleC. Lease expirations for each year in the holding
period will recognize the years in the DCF analysis that are subject to rollover risk and lease-up costs. Lease expirations should be considered in the risk analysis and reversion year selection.
1. Should match lease expirations
2. Determination of average remaining lease term can assist in evaluating risk.3. Renewal rate for option terms compared with market rents
Part 2, page 22
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-73
Lease Expiration Schedule
D. Rollover vacancy, turnover or lag vacancy, is vacancy that occurs between lease expiration and the releasing of the vacancy.
1. Can be calculated based on occupancy or income reports.
2.Rollover vacancy can be approximated from the rollover probability, rollover vacancy in months and the new lease term in months.

Remaining Lease Term3. Renewal probability evaluation should
be made with considerations for rental
levels and effective rent. Aggressive
rental rates and effective rents are more
likely to be associated with lower tenant
retention rates.
4. Rollover vacancy should be market
supported.

Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-79
ExpensesA. Operating expenses – projections must
be sufficient to maintain the property.
The age and condition of the property
should be considered.
B. Non-operating expenses – such as
reserves, leasing commissions, tenant
improvements, and capital expenditures
have a dramatic impact on DCF results.
Part 2, page 26
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-80
ExpensesExample – Preserving the Property’s Position
A 12 year old Class A property will be 22 years
old at the end of a 10 year holding period.
Sufficient amounts need to be expensed to
insure that the property will be positioned to
compete in the Class A market place for
tenants and investors. Insufficient expenditures
will result in a lower terminal value and
increased risk during the holding period.
Part 2, page 26
Understanding and Testing DCF Valuation Models TR-81
ExpensesC. Expense growth rates should be based on
investor expectation, inflation, expense trends,
and property condition/age.
D. Operating expense ratio (OER)
1. First year consistent with norms for the
property type and market.
2. Trends in OER should be checked for
changes in operational performance. OER
usually increases as a property ages.

Change Rate Analysis1. Income change pattern should be consistent
with market expectations of rent growth and
general inflation.
2. Expenses change rate should be consistent with
general inflation, individual and total change
rates.
3. NOI change pattern should be consistent with
income growth and market expectations. NOI
is important in evaluating the implied going-in
capitalization rate.

Change Rate Analysis4. NCF is subject to the greatest variation
and least consistency with other elements.
5. Appreciation/depreciation should be
consistent with market expectations.
