IRR for Long Term Hold Assets

Question on calculating IRR..

I’ve been rather new to a family office who have Ben around for awhile. Some of our assets we have owned for 20-25 years and we do not even have any models so I am in the process of building ones out. How would I calculate returns? Basically what I am struggling is, what is my going in Capital Event? Would I use our current appraised value? I can’t do a 20 year prior cash flow..

I assume you are saying you can't do a 20 year prior cash flow because your firm does not have the data from the original acquisition? Or the cash flows over the last 20 years? If the asset has been held over that time, they need to have that info somewhere. Understand it might be tougher for a family office, but I do not know of any way to calculate an IRR of a project without including the cap event.

Don't know if it would be helpful, but I work on 20 year concessions similar to RE in the broadband PE space. I build 20 year models w/ debt (3 tranches), equity, and grants w/ options to refi at any point (CF+, rev targets, etc.) as well as sales at any year / promote structure. Happy to share and walk through it with you if you're interested. PM me.

 

I guess an equity multiple is worthless too since you don't know the purchase price or debt/equity.

Maybe comps by property type / location / square footage. I am not really that familiar with the RE side of things. That is only for valuation, not a rate of return.

I am sorry; I don't think I have any more insight. Maybe someone else can help.
