Our experience is that small business faces a difficult econ- omy and a tidal-wave of in- creasing government regula- tion. The result of this new reality is reduced profits and financial problems.

The analysis above is purely “by the numbers” and, by defi- nition, does not include non- quantitative factors. While the slightly higher annual growth rate in operating expenses attempts to take into account the uncertainty regarding the stability of utility costs for a master-metered property, spikes in utility costs would have a dramatic impact on the performance of Property B. As a result, the predict- ability of Property B’s cash flows is much more difficult to assess. Uncertainty is risk and a transaction with enhanced risk should be modeled to gen- erate a higher IRR to an inves- tor. However, as the analysis shows, when the same dollar amount is paid for Property A and Property B, Property B actually yields a lower return – not the higher return that investors should expect. As this simple example il- lustrates, investors need to be wary of purchasing mul- tifamily projects based solely on going-in cap rate analysis. The performance of various acquisition targets needs to be analyzed with a focus on operating expense ratios, the allocation of utility costs and realistic projections for annual rent and expense escalations. Multifamily properties should be modeled over a 10-year holding period to test assump- tions and make informed de- terminations about the value of the future benefits being purchased. Dav i d L .
