the value today

Suppose you become weary of tending the building
and decide to sell it. To set a fair price for the building,
you would need to determine the value today of
the entire stream of future income. The value of that
stream is called the present value of the capital asset.
---------------------------------
(1) Does "the value today" mean "today's value"? If so, what the difference between the two is?
(2) what does it mean by "the value today of
the entire stream of future income"?
Thanks in advance!

1) Yes.

2) The present value (i.e. value today) of an amount receivable or payable in the future is typically calculated using a process called discounting, which is like the reverse of accruing interest. For example, if you can invest $1 today to yield $2 in ten years, then $1 in ten years is worth $0.50 today. The exact details of how this is done depend on the individual situation.
