Abstract:
Two commercial Chicago metro office buildings are valued under the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method. This occurs within an American Put Option strategy which broadens the number of acceptable actions for investors. The use of the Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR), a technique that is inherently more reliable than the traditional Internal Rate of Return (IRR), is advocated. Further, this paper incorporates Stratifying the MIRR which provides another layer of risk analysis that facilitates project comparisons even where other discounted cash flow methods have led to conflicting results.
