ONE TASK, WORKED THROUGH

Income exists. Why is it excluded?

You are checking the income assigned to a property use. The cash-flow entry exists, but the current capitalisation result does not include it.

YOU ASK

My rent is in EstateMaster IA, but the current capitalisation calculation excludes it. The Current Capitalisation Rate is 0%. Is that relevant?

propfessor.Companion example

Yes. In the documented IA 3.40 workflow, a 0% Current Capitalisation Rate excludes that use’s income from the current capitalisation calculation. It is not a neutral placeholder. The Terminal Capitalisation Rate has a separate exclusion effect for the terminal calculation.

See the steps and a follow-up question

Identify the relevant use in Setup Uses.
Inspect Current Capitalisation Rate for a current-value issue, or Terminal Capitalisation Rate for a terminal-value issue.
Confirm the intended valuation treatment. If inclusion is intended, use a supported assumption approved for the appraisal, then recalculate and check the relevant result.

Does this remove the income from every calculation?

Do not assume that. The documented behaviour concerns the corresponding capitalisation calculation. Check the cash flow and other outputs separately.

KEEP LEARNING AS YOU WORK

You do not have to get it in one answer.

Ask for the steps. Show what you see. Follow up on the result. Here are ways to continue this task.

Where should I check how this property use is set up?
How do current and terminal capitalisation settings differ?
I have changed the intended assumption. Which results should I check?

Use your own language. Include your version and what you want to do, or share a cropped screenshot with confidential details removed. Each follow-up uses a question from your allowance.
