hard · National Real Estate Exam valuation

A property generates level annual net operating income. An investor requires a 10% return and expects the building (but not the land) to be fully recaptured straight-line over a 25-year remaining economic life. Land is 30% of total value.

Using the building residual logic embedded in a band-of-investment-style overall rate, which statement correctly describes the overall capitalization rate the investor should apply to total NOI?

  1. The overall rate is 0.10 + (0.70 × 0.04) = 0.128, because recapture applies only to the building's share of value
  2. The overall rate is 0.10 + 0.04 = 0.14, since the full 4% recapture rate is applied against the entire property's total value.
  3. The overall rate is 0.10 - (0.70 × 0.04) = 0.072, treating land appreciation as offsetting recapture.
  4. The overall rate is 0.10 × 0.70 + 0.04 = 0.11, reasoning that only the building portion earns the investor's required return.
