A valuation method used to estimate the present value of a property or business based on its expected future cash flows. The DCF model projects income over time and discounts it back using a risk-adjusted rate to account for time and uncertainty. It’s widely used in real estate, finance, and investing to assess long-term value.
Formula (simplified):DCF = Σ (Cash Flow in Year N ÷ (1 + Discount Rate)^N)
