Direct Capitalization versus Yield Capitalization

Direct capitalization takes into account the current income and expenses generated by a property and its concluded net operating income.  A direct market capitalization rate derived from similar sales is used in the analysis to conclude an indication of market value.     

The summation of present values over time is accomplished via a Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.  DCF analyses are usually accomplished / generated using a computer, since the calculations over a number of years can be computed in seconds versus hours.  

The methodology that describes the discounting of net future cash flows by an overall rate that mirrors a property's anticipated future income, its change in value based on its yield rate is called Yield capitalization.
