Financial Leverage What is financial leverage?
Benefit of borrowing at a lower interest rate than the rate of return on the property.
Why use financial leverage? Diversification benefits of lower equity
investment Can invest in other property
Mortgage interest tax benefit Magnify returns if the return on the property
exceeds the cost of debt
4
Financial Leverage: Before-Tax Positive Financial Leverage
Returns are higher with debt Unlevered BTIRR
Return with no debt If unlevered BTIRR > interest rate
on debt The BTIRR on equity increases with
debt There is positive financial leverage
5
Financial Leverage: Before-Tax
BTIRRE= BTIRRP + (BTIRRP – BTIRRD)(D/E) BTIRRE = Before-Tax IRR on equity
invested BTIRRP = Before-Tax IRR on total
investment in the property BTIRRD = Before-Tax IRR on debt
(effective cost including points) D/E =Debt/Equity ratio
6
Financial Leverage: Before-Tax Equation shows that as long as:
BTIRRP > BTIRRD, then BTIRRE > BTIRRP
This implies increasing D/E…… But the use of debt is limited
Debt coverage ratio restrictions Higher loan to value ratios are riskier to
lenders…leading to higher interest rates Higher debt levels increase risk to equity
investor
7
Financial Leverage: Before-Tax
Negative Financial Leverage If BTIRRD > BTIRRP, then BTIRRE < BTIRRP
The use of debt reduces the return on equity
8
Financial Leverage: After-Tax
ATIRRE= ATIRRP + (ATIRRP – ATIRRD)(D/E) ATIRRE = After-Tax IRR on equity invested ATIRRP = After-Tax IRR on total investment
in the property ATIRRD = BTIRRD (1-t)
After-Tax IRR on debt (effective cost after taxes including points)
D/E =Debt/Equity

Underwriting Loans Market Study
Economic base Submarkets Appraisal
Borrower Financial Statements Nonrecourse clause may be included
Loan to Value Ratio Debt Coverage Ratio
DCR = NOI / Debt Service Lenders prefer DCR to be at least 1.2 Using a desired DCR we can determine maximum
debt service = NOI / Desired DCR
16
Underwriting Loans Additional Considerations:
Approval of new leases by lender Approval of lease modifications by lender Approval of construction by lender Borrower submits period financials Annual property appraisal Notify lender of legal problems Notify lender when correcting property
defects Lender has right to visit
17
Underwriting Loans
Lockout Clause Prohibits prepayment of loan for a
specified period of time Yield Maintenance Fee
Guarantees a yield to the lender after a lockout period expires
18
Alternative Financing Structures
Mismatch between early year property income and constant payment loans
Income is expected to increase Inflation effects New building not fully leased Leases may be below market
Results in different loan structures
19
Alternative Financing Structures
Equity Participation Loans Lower interest rate from lender Lender shares in property cash flow
Percent of PGI, NOI or BTCF, etc. Lender motivations
Guaranteed minimum return and some protection of real return
Investor motivations Easier to meet debt service requirements
