Chapter 16 Real Estate Appraisal

An investment property has three units which rent for $1,200 per month, per unit. The vacancy and collection losses are 5%. Property taxes are $5,000, insurance is $5,000, and all other expenses are $10,000. Reserve for replacements is $2,000. Using a cap rate of 6%, estimate the value of the property. Round your final answer to the nearest thousand. (a) $41,000 (b) $43,000 (c) $317,000 (d) $397,000

(c) $317,000 PGI= 3 x $1200 x 12=43,200. VCL=5% of PGI, or .05x$43,200=$2160 PGI=VCL=$43,200-$2160=$41,040. Subtract all three types of OE. $41,040-$5000 Tax - $5000 Ins - $10,000 OE - $2000 Reserve = $19,040 Value=$19,040(income)/.06 (Rate) = 317,333.33

A comparable property recently sold for $575,000, with a golf course view. The subject property is similar in all other respects, but has no golf course view.

(d) Decrease the adjusted selling price of the comparable to $560,000.

When making adjustments based on the following information, what should be done with the $2,000? Comparable sales price... $40,000 Comparable property.........Two-car garage Subject property................No garage Garage value....................$2,000 (a) It should be added to the price of the comparable property. (b) It should be added to the price of the subject property. (c) It should be subtracted from the price of the subject property.

(d) It should be subtracted from the price of the comparable property.

Using the income approach, a capitalization rate can be derived from which of the following? (a) Tables published nationally by appraisal organizations (b) Rate schedules maintained by lending institutions (c) The interest rate paid on Treasury bills (d) The relationship between sale prices and income of similar properties

(d) The relationship between sale prices and income of similar properties

If income remains constant and the capitalization rate is reduced, what is the effect on value? a) insufficient information is provided to determine the effect. b) The value decreases c) The value increases d) There is no effect on the value

c) The value increases Knowing the NOI and the Cap Rate, you can find the Market Value using the IRV formula: I/R=V. If income forecast to be $12,000 and cap rate is 10%, the estimate market value of property would be: $12,000/.10=120,000. But if income remains constant and Cap Rate is reduced to 9%, the market value increases: 12,000/.09=133,333

Principle of substitution:

when a higher priced property is constructed or an existing property is over-improved in an area that consists of lower-priced properties EX: house is worth 95k and buyers in the market can obtain a substitute property with eh same features and utilities for 90k, therefore sellers property has value of apprx; 90K, no 95K

D emand U tility S carcity T ransferability

Replacement cost approach for appraisal(CD APPROACH)

Estimated cost at current prices to construct a comparable building with equal utility to the subject building by using modern materials, design, and features.

Reproduction cost approach for appraisal (CD APPROACH)

Is the estimated cost to construct at current prices an exact duplicate or replica of the building that is being appraised by using the same materials, design and layout of the subject property.

External Obsolescence

Loss in value caused by factors beyond the boundaries of the subject property ex: if you live near a landfill

What is the market value?

Market value is the value to a typical buyer and a typical seller. This is the MOST COMMON type of value that is estimated by appraisers.

Direct capitalization is a mathematical process in which future income is converted into a present value. What is the formula?

PLOTTAGE VALUE

What are the three approaches to value during an appraisal?

Sales comparison approach ** cost-depreciation approach income approach

The transaction must involve a willing and informed buyer and seller.

Gross multiplier technique

Use gross rent or income instead of net operating income (NOI) to estimate the value of properties. Comparable sales price/ gross monthly rent

Estimate the value of the subject property by dividing the net operating income that you find using the capitalization technique NOI/ overall capitalization rate

Value(v)= Net operating income / capitalization rate (V=NOI/Cap Rate)

(a) $36,000

An appraiser is appraising a three-bedroom home that has only one bathroom. The standard for the neighborhood is two bathrooms. From an analysis of the market, the appraiser believes a bathroom contributes $4,000 to the value of a home. If a comparable property having three bedrooms and two baths recently sold for $126,000, and is similar in all other respects to the subject property, what value should be estimated for the subject property? (a) $118,000 (b) $122,000 (c) $126,000 (d) $130,000

(b) $122,000

What is the basis for the principle of substitution? a) An informed buyer will pay no more for a property than the cost of acquiring another equally desirable property with the same or equal utility. b) Properties will typically hold their value when properties in a neighborhood tend to be similar and conform to common standards c) Although a property may have multiple potentials uses, one will be the highest and best use. d) Smaller properties in a neighborhood of large properties will tend to increase in value, while larger properties in an area of smaller properties will tend to decrease in value over time.

Appraisal Cost definition:

actual or estimated amount required to create, produce, or obtain a property

What is the sales-comparison approach

also refereed to as the comparable sales approach it is used to estimate the value indicated by the recent sales of comparable properties in the market

Appraisal Price definition:

amount that is actually paid in a real estate transaction

Appraisal Value definition:

amount that remains after all assets of a business have been sold in a hurried, but not forced, sale and all liabilities have been paid. (value of failing business)

How is a gross rent multiplier calculated? a) Multiply comparable property sales price by comparable property rent. b) Divide comparable property sales price by comparable property rent. c) Multiply comparable property sales price by subject property rent. d) Divide comparable property sales price by subject property rent.

b) Divide comparable property sales price by comparable property rent. The "IRV" formula provides a simple way to derive capitalization rates from comparable sales, estimate the value of a subject prop., or estimate the income required from an investment property. This approach is not used in 1-4 family rentals. GRM is used instead. GRM=Comparable Sales Price /Gross Monthly Rent.
