If you are analyzing another person's proforma, or you are examining a prospectus for a real estate deal, it is very important that you read the document carefully and determine how the values of the financial statistics above are being calculated. For instance, values such as the Cap Rate may be determined from overly optimistic projections of the future rental income of a property.
You can "reverse engineer" the financial projections you receive from a prospectus and/or request the Excel (or other type of) spreadsheet a developer used to create their proforma.
