Steve Waryas speaks at Appraisal Institute Seminar
Chicago, IL - Steve Waryas, Vice President, Realogic Analytics, Inc., was a featured
presenter at a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Seminar, hosted by the Sacramento Sierra Chapter
of the Appraisal Institute. This day long event was attended by approximately 70 real
estate professionals in the appraisal, banking and investment communities.
The seminar included the following topics: basic DCF theory, components of DCF analysis,
building custom DCF spreadsheets, practical applications for all asset types and case
studies. In addition, the seminar included an extensive review of the functionality and
benefits of Argus® and Dyna®,
the most popular lease-by-lease analysis applications.
"I really enjoy presenting at this type of seminar because most users have difficulty
with the same general concepts and there are a few simple work a rounds that really
clarify and resolve the questions. I think the attendees left the seminar with a lot of
questions answered and feeling a great deal more comfortable with DCF preparation and
analysis, along with using Argus and Dyna more confidently and efficiently," said
Steve Waryas. |
Rentable…
Useable…
What's the Difference?
By: Fraser Rowe and John Keeler
Most owners and managers of commercial properties think they know the size
of the building assets under their control. But, how many are actually aware of the
important changes in the determination of what is "rentable?" BOMA
International has published the "Standard Method of Measuring Floor Area in Office
Buildings" since 1915, and in 1955 the document was named an American National
Standard by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI). As the commercial real estate
industry has evolved over the years, so too has the methodology of measuring office
buildings. The latest edition of this popular measurement guideline was produced in 1996
and is commonly referred to today as ANSI/BOMA Z65.1 (1996) in many lease documents.
Why should owners and managers of office buildings have more that a passing knowledge
of ANSI/BOMA Z65.1 (1996)? Because office buildings must be measured in a way that is fair
and equitable to both the owner and the tenant. In recent years, modifications to the
"Standard" have been developed in order to allocate "common areas"
within a building. More importantly, since 1996, more space within an office building has
been clearly defined as "rentable", thereby potentially increasing a property's
income potential.
