The steps in the income capitalization approach are:
Estimate net income, and apply a capitalization rate to it.
If the monthly rent of a property is $3,000 and the gross rent multiplier (GRM) is 80, what is the value of the property?
$240,000
If a net income on a property is $20,000 and the cap rate is 5% the value of the property using the income capitalization method is:
$400,000
The roof of a property cost $10,000. The economic life of the roof is 20 years. Assuming the straight-line method of depreciation, what is the depreciated value of the roof after 3 years?
$8,500
The income capitalization approach to appraising value is most applicable for which of the following property types?
Apartment buildings
In appraisal, loss of value in a property from any cause is referred to as

Net Operating income is equal to
potential gross income minus vacancy and credit loss minus expenses.
The cost of constructing a functional equivalent of a subject property is known as
replacement cost
The steps in the market data approach are
select comparable properties, adjust the comparables, estimate the value.
The concept of market value is best described as
the price that a willing, informed and un-pressured seller and buyer agree upon for a property assuming cash price and the property's reasonable exposure to the market.
In the sale comparison approach, an estimate is warranted if
the seller offers below market seller financing.
A notable weakness of the sales comparison approach to value is that
