I was working through some of the MIT material and came across these questions. I think I know the answers, but wanted to double check. Here are the questions...What do you think are the answers? Reasons why? I thought this may be a good exercise for all.

"Other things being equal, which would have the LOWER cap rate, property A or B?

1) A - An apartment building in a declining neighborhood

B - An apartment building in a growing neighborhood

2) A - An office building full of long-term tenants

B - An office building full of short-term tenants

3) A - Real estate when LT bonds yield 6% (with 3% inflation)

B - Real estate when LT bonds yield 8% (with 3% inflation)

4) A - A surface parking lot in a thriving downtown.

B - A 10-story parking garage in a thriving downtown.

5) A - An office bldg with short-term below mkt leases in a growing rental market

B - An office bldg with short-term above mkt leases in a declining rental market.
