The focus of this paper is on assessing the rate of return of real estate investment. Generally, real estate investments are defined as real estate that generates income or is otherwise intended for investment purposes rather than as a primary residence. This paper applies the net present value (NPV) method, the internal rate of return (IRR) method, and the capitalization rate (CAP rate) to assess the return of real estate investment. A pre-sale case located at New Taipei City, Taiwan is examined. We clarify the economic conditions, such as the reasonable length of investment and the capitalization rate, which may favor the success of real estate investment. The economic analysis in this paper will help investors to understand what they can reasonably expect from their investing target. The results in this paper show that the investor can expect to garner 100% return from the investment in 15 years as long as the interest rates less than 3.175%. Also, the sensitivity analysis further demonstrates to be worth investing of this case.
