General Appraiser Income Approach/Part 2 opens with a thorough treatment of discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis.

The effects of debt financing, including cash equivalence and equity analysis, are covered in detail. Income patterns and property models, including residual and other applications, are followed by material on how to select and support the discount rate. Also presented are the strengths and weaknesses of direct and yield capitalization. The final section reviews and summarizes the mathematical concepts involved with income capitalization and prepares the participant for not only the course exam but also the certification exam.
