Risk Analysis of Cash Flows of Rent in Real Estate

Investment decisions in real estate development projects need to be made more flexibly in uncertain environmental changes such as legal and economic conditions in competitive business in the rapidly changing real estate market. In analyzing the economic feasibility of real estate development projects, the valuation method of the investment plans using the traditional NPV method is evaluated based on a fixed standard planned in advance. Therefore, it was not possible to flexibly cope with uncertain changes in the business environment. In the face of growing uncertainty in the real estate development market, a more sophisticated evaluation method that can evaluate investment plans is needed according to changes in the market. Accordingly, the valuation of real estate development projects was analyzed using real options approach. In this study, an analytical framework was presented to evaluate the return value of commercial rental properties from a financial engineering perspective and to analyze the risk of rent cash flows. Real estate rate assessment methods, risk analysis methods, rent derivatives valuation methods, and real estate option valuation methods were analyzed for uncertainty in rent, tenant residence, vacancy, and real estate price using Monte Carlo simulation. In terms of financial engineering probability models, research in the field of valuation and risk analysis of real estate is now in its infancy, and the framework for analysis itself is not sufficiently established. Based on these studies, various analysis methods will be developed, and in this sense, this study can play a fundamental role.
