Episode notes
Residential Affordability Shapes CRE
- The residential affordability crunch drives strong demand for single-family rentals and built-to-rent developments.
- Institutional investment in single-family rentals is just beginning, with significant growth potential geographically.
Distinct Value Drivers in CRE vs Residential
- Commercial property value comes from the present value of future anticipated cash flow and sale price.
- Residential property value is driven by utility and substitution theory, affected more directly by supply and demand.
CRE Cash Flows Follow Martingale Process
- Commercial real estate cash flows are often modeled as a martingale process, where next period's cash flow is expected to equal the current value.
- Last year's net operating income typically serves as the baseline estimate for underwriting future cash flows.
