RE:Hillcrest Apartments, Marshalltown, Iowa

Dear Ms. Christensen:

 

As per the scope of this assignment the appraiser was to analyze financial data which includes the 2010, 2011, 2012 and year-to-date 2013 historical financial statements as well as market data regarding current capitalization rates were also analyzed resulting in a current market value, subject to restricted rents, of the subject property.

 

This letter is written with a value indication as of October 15, 2013. As this is an addenda letter for an appraisal that Gill Group did not complete, we have completed it under the following Extraordinary Assumptions:

 

1.We assume that the original appraiser gathered true and accurate information from the subject and the field.

 

2.As we did not complete a physical inspection or do in-field work, we assume that the property is in similar physical condition as when previously appraised.

 

The appraiser researched current capitalization rates of sales comparables within the area as well as analyzed data from investor surveys. The PwC Real Estate Investor Survey indicated an average capitalization rate of 5.61 percent. The RealtyRates.com Investor Survey indicated an average capitalization rate of 7.67 percent. The RealtyRates.com Market Survey indicated an average capitalization rate of 9.00 percent. The band of investment indicated a capitalization rate of 7.50 percent. The sales comparables indicated a capitalization rate of 8.0 percent. The appraiser feels the selected sales comparables were a good indication of a market capitalization rate. The appraiser also considered the Realty Rate Investor Survey and the Band of Investment as they are also good indicators for determining a market capitalization rate. Therefore, after considering all factors, a blended capitalization rate of 8.00 percent was determined to be appropriate for the restricted values.

 

Capitalization Rate of 8.00% gives a value of
 
$66,267.00/8.00%      =          $828,337.50
 
Market Value, Subject to Restricted Rents =          $830,000.00

 

 
 

 

Therefore, it is my opinion the market value, subject to restricted rents, of the subject property, as of October 15, 2013 is as follows:

 

EIGHT HUNDRED THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS

$830,000.00

 

Additional market data supporting this analysis follows this letter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me

 

Sincerely,

Research was conducted with the local MLS, assessor and local realtors to determine sales comparable to the subject. All comparables were given equal weight as they were the best comparables surveyed at the time of the writing of this report. The average of the comparables is 8.06 percent. Therefore, the appraiser determined a weighted capitalization rate of 8.00 percent for this scenario.

 

Realty Rates Investor Survey

The Realty Rates Investor Survey was considered in this analysis. The RealtyRates.com Investor Survey Third Quarter 2013 found that investors in apartments indicate overall capitalization rates ranging from 4.32 percent to 12.72 percent, with an average of 7.67 percent. In addition, the RealtyRates.com Market Survey Third Quarter 2013 found that investors in apartments in the Midwest Region indicated an overall capitalization rate of 9.00 percent.

 

PwC Real Estate Investor Survey

The PwC Real Estate Investor Survey was considered in this analysis. The National Apartment Market survey for the third quarter of 2013 found that investors in apartments indicate overall capitalization rates ranging from 3.50 percent to 10.00 percent, with an average of 5.61 percent.

 

 
 

 

Band of Investment

Another method of arriving at a capitalization rate is the Band of Investment Method. This method is based on typical mortgage terms currently available and expected investment return. This analysis uses fixed interest rates. Surveys of lenders that make loans on commercial properties are currently quoting interest rates at one percent over prime and amortization of 15 to 30 years. Local lenders quoted 250 to 350 basis points over the current T-bill rate for the same term as the loan. For our calculations, the following components were used in this analysis.

 

 

 

Therefore, a capitalization rate of 7.47 percent was determined.
