Set forth below are the weighted averages of the key assumptions in the discounted cash flow methodology used in the December 31, 2023 valuations, based on property types. Once we own more than one self-storage and one extended stay investment, we will include the key assumptions for the property types.
| | | | |
Property Type | | Discount Rate | | Exit Capitalization Rate |
Multifamily | | 6.8% | | 5.5% |
Single-Family Rental | | 6.9% | | 5.6% |
Industrial | | 7.1% | | 5.5% |
Office | | 7.8% | | 6.4% |
Other | | 8.3% | | 6.9% |
For quarter-end months, these assumptions are determined by the independent valuation advisor or third party appraisers, as applicable, per the terms of our valuation guidelines. The Advisor reviews the assumptions from each of the appraisals. A change in these assumptions would impact the calculation of the value of our property investments. For example, assuming all other factors remain unchanged, the changes listed below would result in the following effects on our investment values:
