RERC's Reports on Las Vegas Apartment Sector

"Many respondents to RERC's third quarter 2007 institutional investment survey noted that the apartment sector continue to represent the best commercial investment opportunity during the next year, as demand is expected to remain strong due to the wave of delinquencies and defaults in the subprime residential market. However, some respondents see the apartment sector as less attractive due to the low capitalization rate and the likelihood that slow job growth will hurt demand."

RERC's required going in capitalization rate for Las Vegas apartments is 6.0% as of 3Q2007. The terminal (exit) capitalization rate is 6.8%. The required pre-tax yield rate for apartment properties for third quarter 2007 was 8.5%, a 20 percent increase from second quarter.
