CASE STUDY: PART ONE

BEFORE TAX CASH FLOWS

You have the opportunity to invest in an office building in downtown Jacksonville, in which you
would purchase as a 5-year holding investment with a 10% required rate of return (discount
rate). The building offers a total rentable area of 20,000 square feet, and 100 garage-parking
spaces. You are provided the following information on the property from the current owner:

1. The owner is asking $3,500,000 for the building.

2. The owner has annual contracts from tenants on the building for 18,000 square feet
of the total space at $20.00 psf, gross. Additionally, 90 parking spaces are leased
by annual contract for $120.00 per month, per space. You expect this same office
vacancy to occur into perpetuity, and expect parking vacancy to equally correlate
with the office vacancy. These lease terms are found to be in line with the downtown
office market.

3. Current annual operating expenses for the building follow:


a. Management Fees: 5% of EGI
b. Annual Real Estate Taxes: $9,000
c. Hazard Insurance: $3,000
d. Maintenance/Repairs: $11,000
e. Supplies $4,000
f. Capital Replacement Allowance: $8,000
g. Administrative Costs: $4,500
h. Operating Costs of the Garage: $6,500

Your mortgage lender has committed to you a loan to purchase the office building (should you
decide to partake in the investment), which would offer the following terms:

Loan-to-Value: $1,500,000 Mtg; $2,000,000 hard equity


Interest Rate: 6% FRM
Loan Duration: 25 years, fully amortizing
Payment: $115,974 per annum
Prepayment Penalty: None

A study of the office building market in downtown Jacksonville indicates the following trended
increases in incomes and expenses, which can safely be assumed in analysis forecasts:

a. Office rents: 3% per annum


b. Parking rents: 3% per annum
c. Real Estate Taxes: 3% per annum
d. Other Operating Expenses: 2% per annum

Assignment: Based on the above information, prepare a reconstructed year-one income and
expense statement, and a reconstructed income and expense statement forecasting returns for
the 5-year holding period (six years analysis required). For both statements, calculate through
