CASE DESCRIPTION – FINANCING THE FOLES
You are a member of A.CRE Advisors multifamily underwriting team. You and your team recently signed a letter of intent to purchase Foles Tower – a 300 unit, Class A, multifamily high rise in Center City, Anytown.
Thus far, you’ve put together some basic back-of-the-envelope analysis and run a 10-year discounted cash flow on an unlevered (before debt) basis. Your boss has now asked you to layer in debt to understand the risk and returns of the investment on a levered basis.
You have an investment committee meeting scheduled for the end of the week to seek approval to purchase Foles Tower and you’ll need this analysis completed before then. So you sit down with your boss to discuss how best to model the debt.
