Clauretie and G. Stacy Sirmans, 2014. This book surveys the basic issues in real estate finance, as such, it serves as a very good reference material for this class. My lectures will not follow the book very closely and I will rely heavily on my hand-outs. Consequently, examination questions will not come directly from the textbook. However, I still suggest that students purchase the textbook because it provides very good background information for class discussions. This textbook is also used for the Real Estate and Infrastructure Finance class.(O): IFE Group, An Actuarial Review of the Federal Housing Administration Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund Forward Loans for Fiscal Year 2016. This is a reference text and can be directly downloaded from the website of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development:(R): A package of papers that can be downloaded from Blackboard:R1: IFE Group, “Evolution of the U.S. Housing Finance System,” HUD White Paper Series, 2006R2: IFE Group, “Mortgage Securitization – Lessons for Emerging Markets,” HUD White Paper Series, 2007.R3: IFE Group, Appendix G from Actuarial Review of the Federal Housing Administration Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund Forward Loans for Fiscal Year 2014.: IFE Group, Appendix A from An Actuarial Review of the Federal Housing Administration Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund for Fiscal Year 2008. Ambrose, Henry Cassidy, and Tyler Yang, “The Measurement and Management of Mortgage Credit Risk in the United States: Implications for Emerging Mortgage Markets,” HUD White Paper Series, 2007.R6:Tyler Yang and Jessie Zhang, “Mortgage Defaults and Risk-Based Capital: Post-Global Financial Crisis Development and Implications to Emerging Markets,” Chapter 10 of The Global Financial Crisis and Housing – A New Policy Paradigm, Edited by Susan Wachter, Man Cho, and Moon Joong Tcha, KDI Series in Economic Policy and Development, 2014.(N):A package of lecture notes that can be downloaded from Blackboard. This package contains a rough draft of my lecture notes. I will follow the notes very closely in my lectures. Individual lecture notes will be posted on Blackboard at least two weeks before we cover the specific topics.(F):A package of Excel files:This package contains the spreadsheet programs I used to derive some of the tables in my lecture notes for this class. Those files are extremely helpful when a student wants to know the formula behind each calculation. I believe that a detailed study of the files will help students understand the course materials. Individual Excel files will be also posted on Blackboard at least two weeks before we cover them in the class.Course DescriptionThis course examines selected topics and issues related to real estate capital markets. Special emphasis will be placed on mortgage backed securities (MBSs) and real estate investment trusts (REITs). This class will be conducted using a lecture format. While lectures will follow the table of contents of the textbook rather closely, quite often supplemental readings are required. Students are assumed to have some knowledge of real estate finance. Before taking this class, it is important that students have a clear understanding of the design of mortgages and knowledge of how to use spreadsheets to solve mortgage related problems. Knowing how to use a calculator to solve present value problems is not sufficient for tackling the course materials of this class. This course was previously titled Real Estate Finance II.Prerequisite(s)BU.234.610 OR BU.231.620Learning ObjectivesBy the end of this course, students will be able to:Understand the primary mortgage market and why there is a need for secondary prehend the objectives and processes for designing, implementing, and servicing mortgage and asset backed securities.Familiar with the tools used by the capital market for pricing and analyzing risks of MBSs.Analyze a structured transaction deal to see if it meets the investment objectives of your clients.Know the regulatory environment and trend of the securitization market.To view the complete list of the Carey Business School’s general learning goals and objectives, visit the Carey website.AttendanceAttendance and class participation are part of each student’s course grade. Students are expected to attend all scheduled class sessions. Failure to attend class will result in an inability to achieve the objectives of the course. Regular attendance and active participation are required for students to successfully complete the course.AssignmentsYour final grade will be weighted as follows:AssignmentWeightClass Participation10%Midterm Exam40%Final Exam50%Total100%The final class grade will be based on a relative frequency distribution (percentile ranking) of the total points accumulated over the entire semester. This approach implies that your final grade will be determined by the relative performance of the students in the class, as well as the overall performance of the entire class. While I normally do not take roll, class attendance is mandatory. Each student should read the assigned materials and give careful thought to background information prior to each class session. Having done so will not only facilitate class discussions, it will also lighten your workload because the lectures are much easier to follow after you have digested the reading materials.There will be one mid-term exam and one final exam. The 2-hour midterm exam will be held during regular class hours and the 2-hour final exam will be comprehensive. The exam format will consist of two components: conceptual questions and computational problems. The computational problems may require intensive calculations and students are expected to use spreadsheets to solve the problems (see Appendix A for sample questions). The evaluation of class participation consists of two components: class discussions and homework. There are no specific rules on how to score points for the class discussions. A student's grade in this category is solely based on the instructor's objective judgement. However, a meaningful question to the instructor as well as the ability and willingness to answer the instructor's questions will definitely improve your performance. The grade of the homework will be counted as a part of Class Participation. Class participation will play an important role in your final grade if you are at the borderline between two grades. GradingThe grade of A is reserved for those who demonstrate extraordinarily excellent performance as determined by the instructor. The grade of A- is awarded only for excellent performance. The grades of B+, B, and B- are awarded for good performance. The grades of C+, C, and C- are awarded for adequate but substandard performance.?The grades of D+, D, and D- are not awarded at the graduate level (undergraduate only). The grade of F indicates the student’s failure to satisfactorily complete the course work.Please note that for Core and Foundation courses, a maximum of 25% of students may be awarded an A or A-; the grade point average of the class should not exceed 3.3. For Elective courses, a maximum of 35% of students may be awarded an A or A-; the grade point average of the class should not exceed 3.4. (For classes with 15 students or fewer, the class GPA cap is waived.)Tentative Course CalendarInstructors reserve the right to alter course content and/or adjust the pace to accommodate class progress. Students are responsible for keeping up with all adjustments to the course calendar.

Which theory makes more "intuitive" sense (3 points)?Homework:Please re-construct the CMO example ($106,000,000 pool balance with a 10.25% coupon rate) we discussed in class. In addition, please change the PSA prepayment rate from the 100% we used in class to 175%. You are required to provide a table and to calculate the IRR for each tranche of the mortgage pool: Tranche A, Tranche B, Tranche C, Tranche Z, and the residual position. Please use the correct PSA rates (20 points).Please re-construct the MBS pricing example we discussed in class to conduct a sensitivity analysis of the MBS value under different interest rate environment. You are required to provide a table of the values of the MBS when the current market interest rate is 4%, 4.5%, 5%….up to 10.0%. Compute the duration and convexity of the MBS at each market interest rate.
