Gross Income
• Total potential income from a property – all rental income
Effective Income
• Actual income from a property after subtracting vacancy and credit loss
Operating Expenses:
• Expenses related to operation (taxes, utilities, management, maintenance),
but limited only to what the property owner pays
Net Operating Income (NOI):
• Effective income minus operating expenses
Debt Service Coverage Ratio:
• NOI/Debt service payment (i.e. ratio of net income to payment
requirement) – it better be >1!!!
Internal Rate of Return:
• The implied interest rate the developer “earns” on his/her equity outlay

19. The Numbers Don’t Work–What Now?
19
Consider different uses
Tax abatements
Tax credit programs
Grant programs for specific uses
Low interest loans
Loan terms – lower equity
contribution
32. • Re-evaluate mix of uses
• Weigh pros and cons of making building taller, to
accommodate more residential units
• Negotiate price of land purchase
• Research potential abatement and incentive programs,
such as 421-m
Now What?
37. Benefits
• Direct and Indirect
Jobs
• Payments to Potato
Farmers
• Tourism
But…
• Numbers Don’t Add Up
38. • Grant funding from CFA
• Preferential financing
• Free or reduced rent
Pro Forma provided direction to County and
stakeholders for future CFA application
Now What?
