  Description    
This 5-hour seminar focuses on the basic concepts and principles of discounted cash flow valuation and modeling. DCF modeling is a powerful tool when properly used and understood. You will find that it adds value to your appraisal assignments. Developed for participants with varied appraisal backgrounds, this seminar mirrors real-world situations.

At the end of this seminar participants will be able to:

  • Recognize the three categories of factors driving income property value
  • Explain why cash flows are discounted
  • Determine present values
  • Explain how the DCF model reflects how the market determines value
  • Understand the theoretical underpinnings of PV, NPV, and IRR
  • Make defensible choices of discount rates
  • Apply both blended and cash-flow-specific discount rates to arrive at PV estimates
  • Explain the relationship between the discount rate(s) and the timing of expected cash flows
  • Recognize the unreliable nature of the occasional inaccurate investment forecast
  • Describe basic strategies to minimize the negative impacts of inaccurate investment forecasts
