An Owner just purchased a 62,000 square foot office building for $15,768,000 with 65% LTV with a loan of 6.25%, 20-year fully amortizing loan. The owner intends to hold the building for five years.

The building has three floors of rentable space with a single tenant on each floor.

• The first floor has 20,000 square feet of rentable space and is currently renting for $19.45 per square foot. One year remains on the lease. The lease has an expense stop at $5.85 per square foot.
• The second floor has 20,750 square feet of rentable space and is leasing for $19.23 per square foot and has three years remaining on the lease. This lease has an expense has an expense stop at $6.00 per square foot.
• The third floor has 20,750 square feet of leasable space and a lease just signed for the next four years at a rental rate of $22.80 per square foot, which is the current market rate. The expense stop is at $6.10 per square foot, which is what expenses per square foot are estimated to be during the first year of the hold period (excluding management).

Each lease also has a CPI adjustment that provides for the base rent to increase at 50% of the increase in the CPI. The CPI is projected to increase 3.25 percent per year. (Please note that CPI and a rent adjustment are not the same thing. A rent adjustment is just that, a change in rent, and can be based on CPI but it is not CPI.) The market rental rate at which leases are expected to be renewed is also projected to increase 3.25 percent per year. To account for any time that may be necessary to find new tenants after current leases expire and new leases are made, vacancy is estimated to be 8 percent of total PGI for the years in which a lease renews (aka when the new lease takes effect).

Management expenses are expected to be at 3 percent of effective gross income and are not included in the expense stop. Estimated operating expenses for the first year of ownership includes the following:

Property taxes                    $ 130,560

Insurance                                 65,450

Utilities                                     84,165

Janitorial                                  51,841

Maintenance                            45,980

All expenses are projected to increase 3.0 percent per year.

At the time of sale, you are assuming the going out cap rate is .35% more than the going in cap rate. And that there will be 5.00% selling costs and need to pay 4.0% in commissions
