7.5% based on industry surveys and nationwide data.<\/p>\n<p>We used the company\u2019s own disclosed figures for the Joint Ventures and accepted them at face value, simply applying our own Cap Rate to the annualized cash NOI from JVs.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a lot of time and data, the AvalonBay approach is best because it will give you more accurate results.<\/p>\n<p>But if you have little time or poor data, the Digital Realty approach can work well and still deliver decent results if you\u2019ve chosen reasonable Cap Rates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ll learn about Net Asset Value (NAV) Models for REITs in this lesson, including the basic idea and what makes them more complex than they seem at first glance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-20660","biws_kb","type-biws_kb","status-publish","hentry","kb_category-reit-modeling"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/breakingintowallstreet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/biws_kb\/20660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/breakingintowallstreet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/biws_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/breakingintowallstreet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/biws_kb"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/breakingintowallstreet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
