I feel that with high cash flow properties, its still overestimating the actual return from the investment, but at least its giving some credit to the earlier cash flows and taking that into consideration.I will plug in a discount rate for NPV that reflects the amount of risk I am taking and make sure I get zero.I will look at the simple rate() of the overall investment by adding up all the cash flows, including the final sale proceeds and using excel's rate() function to get an annual compounded rate of return.
