1. Real Estate Investment Forms Concept

Direct equity Own physical property.
REIT (public) Publicly traded — liquid but more correlated with equities.
Private REIT Less liquid; may have stable NAV.
RE debt Mortgages, CMBS.

2. NOI & Cap Rate Core

\[ NOI = \text{Rental income} - \text{Op. expenses} \] \[ \text{Cap rate} = \frac{NOI}{\text{Property value}} \] \[ \text{Property value} = \frac{NOI}{\text{Cap rate}} \]

Practice problem

Property NOI = $200,000, market cap rate 5%. What is fair value?

Show solution

Value = 200,000 / 0.05

= $4,000,000

3. Infrastructure Stages Concept

Greenfield New, to-be-built; high construction risk, higher returns.
Brownfield Existing operating asset; stable cash flows, lower returns.
Categories Economic (transport, utilities, telecom) vs Social (schools, hospitals).
