Dear Ms. Long:
At your request, KTR Newmark Real Estate Services LLC has appraised the above referenced property. The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the Market Value of the Fee Simple Estate of the subject property, free and clear of financing, as of April 13, 2006. The date of value corresponds to the date the subject property was most recently inspected by the appraiser.
The subject property consists of a 15.00-acre tract of land improved with a 418-unit garden-style apartment complex known as the Scotchhollow Apartments. Construction of the improvements was reportedly completed in 1971. The structural improvements were observed to be in average physical condition and consist of two-and three-story wood frame construction with stucco veneer and wood trim exterior walls and pitched roofs with asphalt shingle cover.
Amenities common to all units include electric kitchen appliances, patio/balcony, cable TV, and mini-blinds. Other apartment features include disability access, ceiling fan(s), dishwasher, fireplace (in selected units) and oversized closets. Community amities include clubhouse, emergency maintenance, extra storage, fitness center, garage and/or covered parking, high speed internet access, laundry facilities, public transportation, two swimming pool, two tennis courts and a whirlpool/spa. Scotchhollow Apartments contain 324,335 rentable square feet, which suggests an average unit size of 776 square feet.
The following report contains information considered relevant to the valuation of the property and the methods by which collected data have been analyzed in arriving at our value conclusion. Our analysis included an inspection of the premises, interviews with knowledgeable market participants, a review of historical income and expense statements, the current rent roll, and other relevant financial and market information. As an income-producing property, greatest reliance is placed upon the value derived through the Income Capitalization Approach, with support provided by the conclusion rendered through implementation of the Sales Comparison Approach.
This appraisal report has been prepared in order to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under Standards Rule 2-2(b) of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) for a Complete Appraisal in Summary Report format. As such, it presents only summary discussions of the data, reasoning, and analyses that were used in the appraisal process to develop the appraiser’s opinion of value. Supporting documentation not presented herein has been retained in the appraiser’s file. The depth of discussion contained in this report is specific to the needs of the client and for the intended use stated herein.

BASIC ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
This Appraisal Report is subject to underlying assumptions and limiting conditions qualifying the information contained in the Report as follows:
The valuation estimates apply only to the property specifically identified and described in the ensuing Report.
Information and data contained in the Report, although obtained from public record and other reliable sources and where possible, carefully checked by the Appraiser, are accepted as satisfactory evidence upon which rests the final expression of property value.
The Appraiser has made no legal survey nor has he commissioned one to be prepared and therefore, reference to a sketch, plat, diagram or previous survey appearing in the Report is only for the purpose of assisting the reader in visualizing the property.
It is assumed that all information known to the client and relative to the valuation have been accurately furnished and that there are no undisclosed leases, agreements, liens or other encumbrances affecting the use of the property.
Ownership and management are assumed to be competent and in responsible hands.
No responsibility beyond reasonableness is assumed for matters of a legal nature, whether existing or pending.
Information identified as being furnished or prepared by others is believed to be reliable but no responsibility for its accuracy is assumed.
The Appraiser, by reason of this appraisal, shall not be required to give testimony as an expert witness in any legal hearing or before any court of law unless justly and fairly compensated for such service.
By reason of the Purpose of the Appraisal or Function of the Report herein set forth, the value reported is only applicable to the Property Rights Appraised and the Appraisal Report should not be used for any other purpose.
Disclosure of the contents of this report is governed by the by-laws and Regulations of the Appraisal Institute.
Unless otherwise stated in this report, the existence of hazardous material, which may or may not be present on the property, was not observed by the appraiser. The appraiser has no knowledge of the existence of such materials on or in the property. The appraiser, however, is not qualified to detect such substances. The presence of substances such as asbestos, urea-formaldehyde foam insulation or other potentially hazardous materials may affect the value of the property. Any value estimate is predicated on the assumption that there is no such material on or in the property that would cause a loss in value. No responsibility is assumed for any such conditions, or for any expertise or engineering knowledge required to discover them.

INTRODUCTION AND PREMISES OF THE APPRAISAL
     
Scope of the Assignment
  According to the Appraisal Institute’s Code of Professional Ethics and Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, the scope of the appraisal is cited as “the extent of the process of collecting, confirming, and reporting data” included in an appraisal report. The scope of this appraisal employs all applicable appraisal techniques and constitutes a Complete Appraisal as defined by USPAP. The presentation of data, analyses and conclusions are presented in summary report format.
 
   
 
  The data included in this report has been researched from the subject property’s influencing market. County and City officials were interviewed regarding taxes, zoning requirements, flood zone information, demographic data, planned construction, recently completed developments, and other economic impacting events. Market participants, including real estate brokers and property managers, were consulted regarding market parameters and activity. Lenders as well as investor surveys were consulted regarding investment parameters. The Sales Comparison and Income Capitalization Approaches to value have been performed in estimating the Market Value of the subject. Sales utilized were confirmed with a principal or representative involved with the sale. Leasing agents for the competitive complexes were interviewed regarding property specific information. Supply and demand factors affecting the local market have been analyzed.
 
   
Purpose and Use of Appraisal
  The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the Market Value of the Fee Simple Estate of the subject property as of April 13, 2006. It is for the internal use of AIMCO to facilitate asset evaluation and to be utilized in conjunction with a planned transaction with the limited partners.
 
   
Property Rights Appraised
  The property interest appraised is that of the Fee Simple Estate. A Fee Simple Estate is defined by The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Second Edition AIREA, as:

 


 

Scotchhollow Apartments   May 4, 2006
San Mateo, California   Page 3
     
 
  “Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations of the four powers of government (eminent domain, escheat, police power and taxation)”.
 
   
Marketing Period
  The value conclusion reported herein assumes a marketing period of less than one year. According to the Korpacz Real Estate Investor Survey, 1st Quarter 2006 indicates that apartment properties in the national market have an average marketing time of 5.69 months, generally similar to the average of 5.81 months reported one year ago. This estimate seems reasonable, given recent market activity in the influencing area and the profile of the subject property.
 
   
Property History
  Property tax records indicate that VMS National Properties Joint Venture is the current owner of record. VMS National Properties owns and manages approximately 15 apartment communities with approximately 2,500 individual units. The partnership’s managing general partner, MAERIL, is a subsidiary of AIMCO. MAERIL provides the company with management and administrative services.
 
   
 
  No conveyances involving the subject property were noted within the three-year period preceding the effective date of value. To our knowledge there are no contracts of sale pending as of the date this report was prepared, nor are we aware that the property is listed for sale.
 
   
Most Likely Buyer
  National and regional investors typically purchase multifamily properties of this size in markets such as the subject.
 
   
Definition of Market Value
  Market Value, as approved and adopted by the Appraisal Foundation in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice is as follows:
 
   
 
  “The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus.
 
   
 
  Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
             
 
    1.     buyer and seller are typically motivated;
 
           
 
    2.     both parties are well-informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their best interests;
 
           
 
    3.     a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
 
           
 
    4.     payment is made in terms of cash in United States dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and
 
           
 
    5.     the price represents the normal consideration for the property

      sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.”
REGIONAL OVERVIEW
     
Overview
  The subject property is situated in the City of San Mateo, San Mateo County, within the San Francisco Bay Area. The San Francisco Bay Area, referred to locally as the Bay Area, is a geographically diverse metropolitan area that surrounds San Francisco Bay in northern California. Home to almost eight million people, it is composed of cities, towns, villages, military bases, airports, and associated regional, state, and national parks sprawled over nine counties and connected by a massive network of roads, highways, railroads, and commuter rail.
 
   
 
  The Bay Area is atypical in that its population is distributed across several regional urban and suburban centers. San Francisco was until recently the largest city in the region (it was surpassed by San Jose in the 1990 census) and remains the traditional and cultural center. The metropolitan area comprising the city of San Francisco together with Oakland and San Jose is the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the United States, after New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C.-Baltimore.
 
   
Metropolitan Area
  The San Francisco Bay Area consists of the nine counties including San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, Napa, Sonoma, and Marin, situated on the perimeter of San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay. San Francisco is in the geographical and cultural center of the region. It is surrounded by Marin, Napa, Sonoma and Solano Counties to the north; Alameda and Contra Costa Counties to the east; and San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties to the south. The large land area and highly diversified physical features of the Bay Area support a wide range of land uses. Land uses range from large agricultural areas to major urban centers, and environments range from mountain to marine.
 
   
 
  The San Francisco Bay Area is divided in the to the following sub-regions.
 
   
 
  San Francisco — The City and County of San Francisco is generally placed in a category by itself geographically, mentally, and culturally. It is separated by water from the north, west and east, and by a county line from its neighbor cities to the south. San Francisco serves as the cultural and financial center of the region, and once was the population and economic center. It remains the Bay Area’s center of attraction, and it is the heart of its nightlife.
 
   
 
  East Bay — The eastern side of the bay, dominated by the city of Oakland but also including Alameda, Berkeley, Fremont, Livermore, Hayward

 


 

Scotchhollow Apartments   May 4, 2006
San Mateo, California   Page 5
     
 
  and several small cities, is known locally as the East Bay. The East Bay is split into two regions, the inner East Bay, which sits on the Bay coastline, and the outer East Bay, consisting of inland valleys separated from the inner East Bay by hills and mountains.
 
   
 
  The inner East Bay consists of Oakland, Hayward, Fremont, Berkeley, and smaller suburbs surrounding or surrounded by these four major cities, such as Emeryville, San Leandro, and Richmond. The inner East Bay is more urban, more densely populated, has a much older building stock (built before World War II) and a more ethnically diverse population. Oakland hosts the region’s largest seaport and professional sports franchises in basketball, football, and baseball. As with many inner urban areas the Inner East Bay also features a high accumulation of crime as well as socio-economic problems. According to the FBI Uniformed Crime Reports, more than 50% of all homicides in the Bay Area in 2002 occurred within the city limits of Oakland and Richmond.
 
   
 
  The outer East Bay consists of the cities of Walnut Creek, Concord, and Pleasant Hill, to the north (also referred as Central Contra Costa County) and the cities of Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore, Danville, San Ramon to the south (sometimes referred to as the Livermore-Amador Valley or the Tri-Valley), as well as other smaller towns, such as Alamo and Orinda. They are connected to the inner East Bay by BART and by highways and the Caldecott Tunnel. The outer East Bay is mostly suburban to rural and was mostly built after World War II.
 
   
 
  South Bay — The communities along the southern edge of the Bay are known as the South Bay, Santa Clara Valley, and Silicon Valley, although some Peninsula and East Bay towns are sometimes included in the latter. It includes the city of San Jose, and its smaller neighbors including Gilroy and the high-tech hubs of Santa Clara, Cupertino, Palo Alto and Sunnyvale, as well as many other suburbs.
 
   
 
  Peninsula — The area between the South Bay and the City and County of San Francisco is known as the San Francisco Peninsula, locally just as The Peninsula. This area consists of a series of small cities and suburban communities along the Bay such as Palo Alto and Stanford University, Mountain View, Daly City, San Mateo, and Foster City, as well as various towns along the Pacific coast, such as Pacifica and Half Moon Bay.
 
   
 
  North Bay — The region north of the Golden Gate Bridge is known locally as the North Bay. This area consists of Marin County and extends northward into Sonoma and Napa Counties and eastward to Solano County. With some exceptions, this region is quite affluent, and is generally the least urbanized part of the Bay Area, with many areas of undeveloped park and farmland. It is the only section of the Bay Area that is not served by a commuter rail transit service, though Sonoma-Marin service has entered the planning phase. The lack of transportation

 


 

Scotchhollow Apartments   May 4, 2006
San Mateo, California   Page 6
     
 
  services is mainly because the lack of population mass in the North Bay, and the fact that it is separated completely from the rest of the Bay Area by water, the only access points being the Golden Gate Bridge leading to San Francisco, the Richmond-San Rafael and Carquinez Bridges leading to Richmond, and the Benicia Bridge leading to Concord.
 
   
Geography
  The large land area and highly diversified physical features of the Bay Area compose one of the most varied environments in the United States, and support a wide range of land uses and living environments. The dominant influence of the area’s climate is the San Francisco Bay, which moderates the temperatures in the coastal areas, while inland climates that are further removed from the Bay’s influence experience a wide range of temperatures. Rainfall averages 25 inches per year and generally falls from November through March. January is the coldest month and the average daily high temperature is 55 degrees Fahrenheit; the average daily low temperature is 45 degrees Fahrenheit. September, one of the warmest months, averages a daily high of 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
 
   
 
  The most powerful geographical influence is exerted by the fault zones that lace the region. In 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake caused heavy damage along the Bay Area Peninsula as well as the East Bay. This earthquake was the most serious one to occur since 1906. Most infrastructure damaged by the earthquake has been repaired. Other physical damage, including collapsed and unsafe buildings, has generally also been repaired. Despite the physical damage caused by the earthquake, the economy of the region suffered no significant long-term damage.
 
   
Population
  Population trends affect employment, retail spending, housing, bank deposits, and many other essential demand parameters analyzed in determining real estate productivity. Population growth, stability, or decline is a strong indicator of real estate viability within an area.
 
   
 
  The mild climate of the Bay Area has played an important role in development, and contributes to a desirable living environment. During the 1960s and 1970s, the regional population grew at an average annualized rate of 1.9%. During the 1980s, the population grew by approximately 1.4% per year. Population growth during the period from 2000 through 2015 is projected at approximately 0.9% annually. The slowing in the rate of population growth reflects the diminishing supply of available land and the high cost of housing in the area.
 
   
 
  San Francisco is the focal point of the San Francisco Bay Area and forms part of the greater San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland Combined Statistical Area (CSA) whose population is over 7 million. The highest rates of growth are projected in Solano and Santa Clara counties. Santa Clara County is the Bay Area Center for the technology industry. While population growth is expected to be substantial, it will still occur at a rate that is far slower than the growth in Southern California or many other

 


 

Scotchhollow Apartments   May 4, 2006

  portions of the state. The Bay Area has some of the highest housing costs in the nation. When the comparison is made between household income and housing costs, the Bay Area remains one of the least affordable areas in the nation.
 
   
Economic
  The San Francisco MSA, which encompasses the Counties of San Francisco, San Mateo, and Marin, is the nation’s fourth largest metropolitan area. Historically, San Francisco has been the financial and business center of the western United States. Beginning in late-1994 and early-1995, the strengthening high technology and computer-related industries located in the southern Bay Area began to lead the state out of its deep recession. In the second half of the 1990s, the local economy was driven by the growth in technology, particularly Internet, software, and other computer-related technology ventures. The technological advances during the mid- to late-1990s, coupled with a strong stock market and nearly limitless availability of capital provided an environment for surging employment growth, real estate values, and overall prosperity in the region. The explosion of the so-called dot.com industry, funded primarily from venture capital, fueled an economic boom in Bay Area in the late 1990’s and early 2000 of unprecedented proportion. As a result, every aspect of the real estate market experienced huge gains.
 
   
 
  Commercial and industrial vacancy rates became almost non-existent while lease rates doubled in some instances during this period. While sale prices never matched the increase in rents, there was significant appreciation of commercial and industrial property sales prices. Apartment availability also became extremely tight with rents climbing 30% to 40%. Home prices surged as well, appreciation was in the neighborhood of 25% to 35% in this short time period. During this time a new market phenomenon also sprung out of the disparity between demand and supply of homes. Realtors began the practice of listing prices slightly below their market values to entice bidding wars. It thus became the accepted market practice to bid over the listing price, often substantially above the listing price.
 
   
 
  In March 2001 the tech-heavy NASDAQ declined due to concerns of over-inflated stock prices as negative reports about company profitability and news about declining demand for computer related goods and services surfaced. The Dow Jones quickly followed and entire stock market, including non-tech blue-chip stocks, also tumbled. This trend continued further into 2001. As a result of the stock market tumble, both the national and local economies contracted. The stock market tumble was compounded by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The risk of air piracy, attacks on large landmarks, bio-terrorism and other threats to public safety has raised the level of uncertainty in the markets. It has also severely impacted the travel and tourism business, which rely heavily on air travel.

 


 

Scotchhollow Apartments   May 4, 2006
San Mateo, California   Page 8
     
 
  Technology based companies were particularly impacted by the stock market decline. The Bay Area, which is generally regarded as being top-heavy in the technology sector, suffered considerably. Many of the newer and more financially sensitive companies went out of business, while the larger and more established companies, such as Cisco Systems, Hewlett-Packard and Oracle, had significant layoffs in attempt to weather the storm. Unemployment rates have been on a declining trend since 2002.
 
   
 
  Recent information regarding national and local economic recoveries indicates that a recovery started to take place in 2004, and is continuing in 2006.
 
   
Employment
  Employment affects the real estate market since an overall increase in total employment translates into more space utilized for office employees, more retail space to sell goods and services, and more money flowing through the area economy. For example, if sectors such as Finance/Insurance/Real Estate, Services and Miscellaneous, and Government, which typically consist of white-collar jobs, experience an increase in employment, this would in turn help support the office and retail real estate markets.
 
   
 
  South Bay — The South Bay economy is entering a growth cycle after recovering from the dotcom bust. For example, at the end of 2005, San Jose boasted 121 job openings per 1,000 people, which was the highest rate among the nation’s 50 most populous metro areas. The stabilization and recovery that began in 2005 will accelerate moderately in 2006 and 2007. Standard year-end employment figures for 2005 showed a relatively flat job market. Other statistics imply that the final employment figures for 2005 will be revised substantially upward, to above 1.0%. In 2006, employment will increase by 1.5% and by 1.1% in 2007. The strong residential investment market has boosted a variety of sectors, from finance to retail, which has spurred follow-on job creation.
 
   
 
  East Bay — Employment in the East Bay will accelerate from nearly 1.3% growth in 2005 to over 1.5% in 2006 and 2007 as the East Bay will benefit economically from two trends. The first trend is a product of geography. The East Bay region has open land and a growing population, unlike the other Bay Area regions. To illustrate, the city of Brentwood in Contra Costa County has grown from 23,000 to 40,000 residents over the last five years. In comparison, the city of Belmont in San Mateo County has grown from 25,123 residents to 25,470 residents in the same time frame. Population growth spurs employment growth in a variety of sectors like construction and household services. A second trend influencing the East Bay region economically is the relocation or addition of corporate offices from San Francisco and the South bay to be closer to their employees. These trends will compound as the East Bay population continues to grow.

Transportation
  The Bay Area is served by many public transportation systems, including three international airports (SFO, OAK, SJC), six overlapping bus transit agencies, four rapid transit and regional rail systems including BART, and multiple public ferry services.
 
   
 
  The freeway and highway system is very extensive; however, many freeways are heavily congested during rush hour, especially the trans-bay bridges.
 
   
 
  The Bay Area’s transportation infrastructure includes 1,500 miles of highway, eight toll bridges, 17,000 miles of local streets, six public ports, five passenger ferries, and five commercial airports. Transportation in the Bay Area is diversified because of the trend toward decentralized work places. More and more people are commuting longer distances to work, putting a heavy burden on the region’s transportation network.
 
   
 
  Air transportation is available through a number of airports in the Bay Area. San Francisco International Airport, located in San Mateo County, is one of the most active commercial airports in the world and it is served by over 62 airlines. Furthermore, a two billion-dollar airport expansion was completed which expanded international travel capabilities. Additionally, Oakland International Airport in Alameda County, and Mineta San Jose International Airport in Santa Clara County offer facilities for international travel, air taxi, charter and cargo.
 
   
 
  The Bay Area Rapid Transit system (BART), a high-speed rail system with over 75 miles of track, is a major commuter transportation system which links stations in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and San Francisco counties. BART has been extended to the San Francisco International Airport, which coincided with the aforementioned airport expansion. CalTrans operates commuter trains that travel from San Jose to San Francisco. There are freight rail lines in many Bay Area communities.
 
   
 
  Historically, ongoing efforts to improve the roads and public transit systems in the Bay Area have lagged behind growth in the population. Traffic congestion, considered a major problem in the Bay Area, makes close in, conveniently accessed locations particularly desirable.
 
   
Governmental Forces
  The Bay Area is comprised of nine separate counties. Each county has its own government, with incorporated cities within each county also having their own government. Between the city and county levels, interaction is limited. On a regional level, this concept is magnified, with limited inter-county planning. Local city and county governments within the region implement land use policies through the use of zoning laws and general plans. Support services, such as transportation, schools, health care, police, and fire protection are provided by local governments.
 
   
 
  California’s land use and growth controls are among the most stringent in

 


 

Scotchhollow Apartments   May 4, 2006
San Mateo, California   Page 10
     
 
  the United States. These local land use controls include zoning, growth management systems, subdivision regulations, development fees and environmental restrictions. These policies raise the cost and reduce the volume of land development, especially in coastal metropolitan areas.
 
   
Education
  Within the Bay Area there are over 80 public and private colleges and universities; among them are over 30 community colleges, four California State University campuses, and two University of California campuses.
 
   
Conclusion
  The nine-county San Francisco Bay Area is one of the nation’s most vital economic regions. While San Francisco remains the center of the region, the surrounding counties have developed economic centers of their own. Future projections by ABAG indicate increased growth in population and employment, albeit at a slower rate. Employment growth is expected to occur primarily in the service sector. Locational advantages, outstanding higher educational facilities, and a skilled labor force benefit the Bay Area. However, structural problems including affordable housing, transportation capacity, and water and sewer capacity, along with local slow growth initiatives, could impair the region’s competitive position. However, the economic base is well diversified, and should provide for moderate future growth in the Bay Area.
 
   
 
  The Bay Area’s economy has shifted towards service orientation. Agriculture, construction, and manufacturing have become less dominant while trade, finance, government, and business, professional and other services have grown in prominence. The one notable exception to this trend has been the high technology sector, particularly computer-related, and manufacturing.
 
   
 
  The long term future of California real estate appears good due to anticipated job growth which is expected to generate demand for additional office, industrial, and retail space. The expected increase in population indicates a strengthening housing market and growing retail demand.

NEIGHBORHOOD OVERVIEW
     
Location:
  The subject property is situated in the southern sector of the City of San Mateo. The subject property is located at 203 Laurie Meadows Drive, approximately two mile south of the San Mateo urban center. San Mateo is situated in the region of the San Francisco Bay Area known as “The Peninsula”. The Peninsula, used on its own, refers locally to only the parts south of, and excluding, the city of San Francisco. It is roughly equivalent to San Mateo County.
 
   
 
  San Mateo is one of the larger suburbs on the San Francisco Peninsula, located between Burlingame to the north, Foster City to the East, and Belmont to the south.
 
   
 
  Freeway, the subject property is accessible to neighborhood services and employment centers. The location of the subject property is rated as good.
 
   
Access:
  The east side of the peninsula is a largely densely populated area that includes Silicon Valley. It forms a commuter area between San Francisco to the north and San Jose to the south. A number of major thoroughfares run North-South: El Camino Real (CA-82) and Highway 101 on the east side along the bay, Interstate 280 down the center, Skyline Boulevard (CA-35) along the crest of the Santa Cruz Mountains, and Highway 1 on the west along the Pacific.
 
   
 
  Three bridges, the Dumbarton Bridge, the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge, and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge cross San Francisco Bay from the peninsula.
 
   
 
  Primary access to the subject property and neighborhood is achieved from El Camino Real (CA-82) and Highway 101 via Hillside Boulevard or Ralston Avenue. Employment centers are easily accessible from the subject neighborhood due to the presence of regional transportation routes in the area. Traffic flow is well managed along the heavier traveled neighborhood streets with traffic signals at major intersections. Public facilities including schools and medical facilities are in close proximity.
 
   
Land Use:
  The subject neighborhood is a mature and established commercial and residential district. The area realized much of its growth from the 1960s through the 1980s. Most of the apartments in the area were built in the 1970s. Approximately 95% of the land area is developed with limited land available to accommodate additional development. Multifamily development is prevalent along El Camino Real and east of Highway 101.
 
   
 
  El Camino Real is primarily developed with commercial uses including a moderated concentration of free-standing retail and general business

 


 

Scotchhollow Apartments   May 4, 2006
San Mateo, California   Page 12
     
 
  buildings, all of which benefit from visibility and proximity to the regional transportation routes. Residential uses are located throughout the area along neighborhood roads that feed into the major collector streets. The predominate land use in the neighborhood is residential, consisting of both single and multifamily developments.
         
Adjacent Land Uses:
  South:   Single-family residential
 
  North:   Single-family residential
 
  East:   Single-family residential
 
  West:   Multifamily residential
     
New Construction:
  Due to the limited availability of vacant land suitable for development, there has not been a significant amount of new construction in the immediate vicinity of the subject property.
 
   
 
  New development in the area includes the re-development of the Bay Meadows racetrack in Central San Mateo. In November 2005 the San Mateo City Council approved plans a housing and commercial development that led to the demolition of Bay Meadows racetrack. Bay Meadows Land Co. begun to built town homes, offices, and stores on an adjoining tract of land.
 
   
 
  Other than the Bay Meadows racetrack project, no new residential (apartment and single-family homes) construction was noted in the area. Much of the new apartment development has and is occurring in outlying Bay Area locations were there exists sufficient vacant land to accommodate larger scale developments.
 
   
Change in Current Use
  The neighborhood can be classified as being in the growth stage, approaching the stability stage, of its life cycle. As a result of its good location in the San Francisco Peninsula, growth in the area is anticipated to continue, in the form of new development on vacant and underutilized sites.
 
   
Conclusion
  The property is located in the south sector of San Mateo, on the San Francisco Peninsula. The area is afforded with good accessible to other areas of San Francisco Bay Area and employment centers. As a result of its good location, the area has proven to be a desirable residential and commercial location. The area’s accessibility to employment centers has enhanced the desirability of the neighborhood as a residential location.

Easements
  The appraisers were not provided with a site survey or title documents that provide information on the existence of easements and encroachments. Other than typical access and utility easements, visual observation of the site did not reveal the existence of adverse easements or encroachments, however in the absence of a site survey and title documents, the appraiser makes no representation as to the presence of adverse easements or encroachments.

 


 

Scotchhollow Apartments   May 4, 2006
San Mateo, California   Page 14
     
Soil Conditions
  Visual observation does not indicate any surface or subsurface soil conditions that are unusual for the area. Based on our inspection, it appears that the soil is of adequate load bearing capacity to support the subject improvements. No major foundation cracks were visible upon inspection of the subject improvements that would indicate the subsoil conditions are not stable. No nuisances or hazards were noted.
 
   
Land Use Restrictions
  The appraisers are unaware of any deed restrictions which may adversely affect the utility of the subject site; however, this is not a guarantee that such restrictions may exist. Therefore, it is recommended that a current title policy be obtained for the subject property which would disclose any land use restrictions which may exist.
 
   
Utilities
  All municipal utilities (water and sewer) and private services (electric, gas, telephone) are available to the site.
 
   
Police and Fire Protection
  Provided to the site by the City of San Mateo
 
   
Conclusion
  The subject represents a desirable site for multifamily development.

Tax Analysis:
  In California, privately held real property is typically assessed at 100 percent of full cash value (which is interpreted to mean market value of the fee simple estate) as determined by the County Assessor. Generally, a reassessment occurs only when a property is sold (or transferred) or when new construction occurs (as differentiated from replacing existing construction). Assessments for properties that were acquired before the tax year 1975-1976 were stabilized as of the tax year 1975-1976. Property taxes are limited by state law to one percent of the assessed value plus voter-approved obligations and special assessments. If no sale

  (or transfer) occurs or no new building takes place, assessments may not increase by more than two percent annually.

Conclusion
  The Composite Rate includes the published tax rate and the effective tax rate due to special assessments for county and municipal water standby charges. These charges are generally based on lot area rather than assessed value.
 
   
 
  The taxes estimated in our analysis are for the subject property assuming a sale at the current market value. If the subject were to sell, a reassessment at that value would most likely occur, with tax increases limited to two percent annually thereafter until the property is sold again. The consequences of this reassessment have been considered in the appropriate valuation sections.
 
   
 
  In accordance with California’s Proposition 13, our estimate of property taxes reflects the assumption of a fee transfer of the subject property. The stabilized property taxes indicated on the summary chart are based on the concluded value by the direct capitalization analysis.

APARTMENT MARKET OVERVIEW
The following apartment market analysis is designed to provide the reader an understanding of the Bay Area apartment market and the local submarket within which the subject property competes. The most recent source of data available to the appraisers was the Apartment Market Report for Northern California (Forecast 2006) published by Hendricks and Partners.
     
San Francisco/South Bay
  The apartment market showed improvement in the South Bay as no new inventory was added and the payroll survey showed employment gains of over 4,000 jobs in the fourth quarter. In addition, the Coyote Valley Development in the southern part of San Jose was fast-tracked by the San Jose City Council. The Council voted to remove several encumbrances that had blocked development. The Coyote Valley will be home to 50,000 new jobs and more than 80,000 new residents. At build-out, it is projected to be larger than 12 of the 15 cities in Santa Clara County. Development of one of the last “green field” areas within Santa Clara County will provide a significant and continuous economic boost over the long-term. Preliminary estimates of the total value of the project are in the tens of billions of dollars. The development of Coyote Valley will provide a long-term boost to economic activity in the South Bay region, along with a similar, but

  smaller redevelopment of the Bay Meadows racetrack in the Central San Mateo submarket.
 
   
Absorption
  A total of 1,514 apartment units were absorbed in 2005. This was nearly a 40% increase over the 1,093 apartment units absorbed in 2004. Reportedly, 155 apartment units were absorbed in the fourth quarter of 2005. This compares favorably with 90 net move-outs in the fourth quarter of 2004.
 
   
New Construction
  Developers were issued multifamily permits (condo & apartment) for 359 units in the fourth quarter. A significant portion of permitting activity was for new condominium development. A total of 2,938 multifamily units were permitted in 2005.
 
   
Vacancy
  The average vacancy rate measured 4.8% in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to 5.3% in the last quarter of 2004. South Bay rental rates continued their upward trend, rising 3.5% in the fourth quarter. That was the third straight quarter of year-over-year rent gains, the first time that has happened since the first three quarters of 2001.
 
   
Rent Rates
  South Bay rental rates continued their upward trend, rising 3.5% in the fourth quarter. That was the third straight quarter of year-over-year rent gains, the first time that has happened since the first three quarters of 2001.
 
   
Supply / Demand
  Multifamily units permitted measured 2,938 in 2005, compared to 2,265 in 2004, indicating that developers are seeing increased demand on the horizon. That trend will continue and accelerate in 2006. Multifamily units permitted will increase to 3,800 and then fall slightly in 2007 to 3,400 units permitted. Demand will remain moderate with net apartment demand of 1,850 units in 2006, and an additional 1,200 apartment units in 2007.
 
   
Forecast
  The average vacancy rate will continue to fall, measuring 3.6% in 2006 and 3.4% in 2007. The growing economy will spur some household formation but it will be tempered by the high cost of housing relative to income. As a consequence of these countervailing factors, Hendricks and Partners expect rent growth to be solid but not spectacular in 2006 and in 2007. The dominant trends will be a surge in Class A rents fuelled by job growth in the high-tech sector and absorption of Class C units by young entry-level workers. As these two effects are combined, the average rent growth will be 2.1% in 2006 and 3.5% in 2007.
 
   
Micromarket Overview
  The appraisers surveyed five competitive properties in the immediate vicinity of the subject property. These properties are outlined in detail in the forthcoming Economic Rent Analysis section of this report. The occupancy levels reported for these properties range from 96% to 100% as presented in the following chart. The weighted average occupancy of the sampling surveyed equates to 98%. Due to high occupancy, concessions are rare. However, few area apartments of offers

Conclusion
  The South Bay economy is entering a growth cycle after recovering from the dotcom bust. Apartment properties in the San Francisco South Bay Area have enjoyed increasing market rents and declining vacancies. With very little new inventory added, the overall vacancy factor has moved steadily downward from 2004 and early 2005 levels. Rental rate have held steady over the past couple of years, but began to shown signs of improvement beginning the 1st quarter of 2005 and continue to improve. Overall, economic conditions appear to be stabilizing and poised for gradual recovery. This bodes well for apartment market conditions in the longer term. As economic conditions improve, demand for rental housing should follow suit.
ECONOMIC RENT ANALYSIS
Five competitive properties follow. They are located in the influencing area of the subject property and define the range of property type and rents available. The information regarding the rent comparables was obtained through physical inspections and interviews of rental agents and property managers. The rents commanded by competitive properties in the influencing area are utilized to determine the economic rent potential for the subject property.

The subject is most similar to Lake Pines, Lakeside Landing and Creekside. These properties are rated as being generally similar to the subject. Jefferson at Bay Meadows is a new property, which is superior to the subject in term of overall, appeal and condition. Crestview is an older property located south of the subject. Although is good locational characteristics, it is rated as being inferior to the subject overall. In general, the subject’s rental rates should be similar to the rents illustrated by Lake Pines, Lakeside Landing and Creekside; below the rents illustrated by Jefferson at Bay Meadows and above the rents illustrated by Crestview.
As indicated above, the rent for the subject’s one and two bedroom floor plans are within a tolerable variance of the range of rents illustrated by Lake Pines, Lakeside Landing and Creekside, the properties rated as being most similar. The subject offers one three-bedroom unit. Only two properties offer three bedroom units: Lake Pines and Jefferson at Bay Meadows. While Lake Pines was rated as being similar, conversations with the on-site manager indicated that this unit is typically marketed as a two-bedroom unit. As such, the rental rates indicated by the comparable two-bedroom unit represent the best indicator for this unit.
The subject’s rental rate structure is appropriately aligned with the rents illustrated by Lake Pines, Lakeside Landing and Creekside; below the rents illustrated by Jefferson at Bay Meadows and above the rents illustrated by Crestview. Based on a review of market rental data, the subject’s quoted rent structure

Surrounding Land Uses
  Predominately residential developments with multifamily to west of the subject.
 
   
Physically Possible
  Being situated on a neighborhood collector street in close proximity to El Camino Real (CA-82) and Highway 101, the subject site benefits from good accessibility. Residential use would benefit from the site’s exposure and accessibility to other parts of San Mateo.
 
   
Legally Permissible
  Multifamily use is the intended use of the site.
 
   
Financial Feasible
  Multifamily development is occurring throughout the East Bay area of San Francisco. Economic conditions in the area are strong and demand for multifamily housing appear strong as evidenced by high occupancy rates and increasing rents in exiting units and development of over 2,000 new units at this time. The preceding suggests that sufficient entrepreneurial profit incentive is being met to justify the financial feasibility of new construction.
 
   
Conclusion
  New multifamily development.

VALUATION
There are three traditional approaches that can be employed in establishing Market Value. These approaches and their applicability to the valuation of the subject property are summarized as follows:
THE COST APPROACH
This method estimates the replacement or reproduction cost of the improvements, less the estimated depreciation (physical, functional, economic), plus the estimated market value of the land, in order to arrive at a final value indication. This approach is based on the premise that an informed purchaser would pay no more for a property than the cost of constructing a building of similar utility and condition.
The Cost Approach is a reliable indicator of value for: (a) new properties; (b) special use properties; and (c) properties where the cost of reproducing the improvement is easily and accurately quantified and there is no external or economic obsolescence. Due to the age of the improvements, they have incurred physical deterioration due to normal wear and usage. Given the inherent inaccuracies and subjectivity involved in estimating substantial degrees of physical deterioration, the cost approach is not considered a reliable, independent approach to value in this instance
THE SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
Using this technique, the property value is indicated by comparing the subject to similar, nearby properties that have recently sold. Essentially, the procedure is to gather bona fide, recent arm’s length sales of comparable properties and compare the most important characteristics of the sales to the subject. Adjustments are then made to the comparable properties for differences such as terms of financing, date of sale, location, and physical characteristics.
Attaining data with a high degree of comparability is most important when this technique is utilized. The reliability is dependent upon the availability of comparable sales data, the verification of the sales data, the degree of comparability and extent of adjustment necessary for differences and the absence of non-typical conditions affecting the sales price. As numerous sales of properties similar to the subject have occurred in the San Francisco Bay Area, this approach has been employed in the valuation process.
THE INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH
The Income Capitalization Approach is a process in which the anticipated flow of future benefits is capitalized into a value indication. The Income Capitalization Approach is widely applied in appraising income-producing properties. The reliability of this technique is dependent upon the reliability of the net income estimate and the capitalization rate. Since the subject is income producing realty and anticipated to continue to be so, this approach has been employed in the valuation of the Fee Simple Estate.

 


 

Scotchhollow Apartments   May 4, 2006
San Mateo, California   Page 29
RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE ESTIMATE
The final step in the Appraisal Process is the reconciliation of the value indicators into a single value estimate. In the reconciliation or correlation, the appraiser considers the relative applicability of each of the three approaches, examines the range between the value indications and places major emphasis on the approach that appears to produce the most reliable solution to the specific appraisal problem. The purpose of the appraisal, the type of property and the adequacy and reliability of the data are analyzed and appropriate weight is given to each of the approaches to value.
INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH
Investment properties are normally valued in proportion to their ability to produce income; hence, an analysis of the property in terms of its ability to provide a sufficient net annual return on invested capital is an important means of valuing any asset. Value is estimated by deducting an appropriate vacancy and collection allowance and all applicable expenses from the anticipated gross annual income to arrive at a projected net operating income which is then capitalized at an interest rate, or investment yield, commensurate with the risk inherent in the ownership of the property. Such a conversion of projected income considers competitive returns offered by alternative investments.
There are two primary income capitalization methods: Direct Capitalization, which converts a single year’s net operating income into an indication of value and the Discounted Cash Flow Analysis (DCF), which estimates the present worth through the process of discounting the forecasted net income and the reversionary sale over the course of an anticipated investment period. The Direct Capitalization technique is employed in this analysis.
DIRECT CAPITALIZATION
The basic steps in the Direct Capitalization method are as follows:
1. Calculate POTENTIAL GROSS INCOME from the dwelling units;
2. Estimate VACANCY AND CREDIT LOSS to arrive at Effective Gross Income;
3. Estimate OPERATING EXPENSES to arrive at the stabilized Net Operating Income;
4. Develop the OVERALL CAPITALIZATION RATE;
5. Divide NOI by the CAP RATE to arrive at VALUE.
Revenue: As presented in the Economic Rent Analysis section of this report, the monthly economic rent potential is estimated at $597,042. The annual gross rent potential estimated for the apartment units total $7,164,504.
Loss to Lease: Loss to lease considers a loss in income due to leases in effect, whereby effective rental rates are lower than asking, or market, rental rates. As a percentage of the property’s gross rent potential, the historical loss to lease ranges from 0.2% in 2003 to 7.9% in 2006 (year-to-date, annualized). Based on the previous history at the subject property, we have deducted a loss to lease expense of 4.0% of the potential gross income or $286,580.
Concessions: Rent concessions in the market are prevalent in an attempt to bolster occupancy at area apartments. Concessions usually consist of reduced or free rent over a portion of the lease term. There was an increasing trend in concessions between 2002 and 2005. The 2006 Budgeted amount equates to 6.5% gross rent potential. However, as of year-to-day 2006, concessions presented themselves at 2.9% of

 


 

Scotchhollow Apartments   May 4, 2006
San Mateo, California   Page 30
the property’s gross rent potential. Based on the operating history at the subject, concessions are projected at 4.0% of the estimated gross rent potential or $286,580.
Vacancy and Credit Loss: As of the date of inspection, the subject property was 98% occupied. Properties identified as income comparables within the Economic Rent Analysis section of this report illustrate occupancy levels that range from 96% to 100%. Information presented in the Apartment Market Overview section of this report indicates that the average occupancy for within the subject’s South Bay apartment submarket is approximately 95%.
Based on the subject’s historical and current level of occupancy, tempered against the weighted average occupancy reported by competing properties in the influencing area and occupancy level indicated by similar vintage properties in the South Bay submarket, a vacancy factor of 5.0% is estimated for the subject property. In addition, a 1.0% allowance for credit loss is assessed. The combined vacancy and credit loss allowance equates to 6.0%.
Utility Income: Included in this category is the revenue received from tenants paying or reimbursing ownership for their share of water and sewer usage. Utility reimbursements were $239, $234 and $328 per unit, respectively. The annualized year-to-date 2006 reimbursements equates to $506 per unit. Based on the historical trend and accounting of inflation, we have estimated Utility Income to be $140,030, or $335 per unit.
Other Income: Included within this category is the revenue received from such items as application fees, forfeited deposits, and late fees. As a percentage of the property’s gross rent potential, Other Income receipts range from 4.2% to 5.6%. Based on historical other income receipts, we have estimated Other Income to be 5.0% of the gross rent potential or $358,225.
Expenses: In order to project expenses for valuation purposes, the expenses historically incurred in the operation of the subject property have been reviewed. Typical operating expenses for garden apartments in the San Francisco Bay Area, as reported by IREM have been reviewed and analyzed. The following table summarizes the three-year operating history for the subject property including year-end figures for 2003, 2004 and 2005 and year-to-date figures for 2006 through March. The year-to-date 2006 figures have been annualized for analytical purposes.

Payroll:
  This expense covers salaries, payroll taxes, and workers compensation insurance for on site management, leasing, and maintenance personnel. The subject’s historical payroll expense has been somewhat sporadic. The Payroll expense for 2003, 2004 and 2005 were $661, $1,142 and $1,495 per unit, respectively. The annualized year-to-date 2006 expense equates to $1,276 per unit. Payroll expenses are projected at $543,400, or $1,300 per unit.
 
   
Management
  A typical management fee on a property of this type is 3% to 5% of the effective gross income. The subject’s historical management fee has been based on an amount equivalent to approximately 4.3% to 4.5% of Effective Gross Income. A market-oriented fee of 4.0% is considered reasonable. Based on the preceding estimate of Effective Gross Income, the subject’s management fee is estimated to be $266,389, or $637 per unit.
 
   
Insurance
  This expense item covers the building and includes fire, extended coverage, vehicle, and owner’s liability. The subject’s historical insurance expense for 2003, 2004 and 2005 were $632, $612 and $566 per unit, respectively. The annualized year-to-date 2006 expense equates to $627 per unit.

Taxes
  As discussed in the Real Estate Tax section, the tax burden for the subject property is estimated at $694,200, or $1,661 per unit.
 
   
Reserves for Replacements
  In addition to the repairs and maintenance expenditures, the property will incur annual capital expenditures to keep it in prime condition. A reserve category is typical for multifamily property; therefore we have included reserves as an additional budget item. Reserves for replacement for a property of this vintage typically range from $200 to $400 per unit. Considering the age of the subject property, a reserve for replacement allowance of $350 per unit or $146,300 is estimated for the subject property.
 
   
Total Expenses
  Total expenses have been estimated at $3,061,039, or 46% of effective income. Information provided by the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) indicates that expense ratios for apartment complexes in the subject’s region (Region IV) range from 41.0% to 35.6%, with an average of 47.4%, exclusive of a reserve allowance. The total operating expenses projected for the subject property falls within this range. Industry standard expense data suggests that the total expenses estimated for the subject property are reasonable.
Net Operating Income: The Net Operating Income is that amount of the income remaining after paying all operating expenses. This affords the owner capital to satisfy debt service, if any, and provide a return on owner’s equity. We have estimated the NOI to be $3,598,690. The subject’s income and expense pro forma is summarized below.

Capitalization: Capitalization rates express relationships between net income and total value. The rate employed must be consistent with and reflective of those rates currently employed by investors active in the market place.
In order to perform this analysis, estimates of an appropriate capitalization rate must be formed. By its nature this is a judgmental process, however, selected rates should approximate the investment perimeters expected to be employed by the most probable buyer for the subject property.
Several approaches are typically followed in selecting the investment parameters; review and analysis of alternative real estate and non-real estate investments; review and analysis of published real estate investor surveys; derivation of rates from empirical market data; and use of in-house experience with similar types of investments.
     
Most Probable Buyer
  Considering the size and quality of the asset, the subject buyer would most likely attract national or regional investors.
 
   
Market Extraction
  The following table summarizes the market derived overall rates. The sales are further detailed in the Sales Comparison Approach.

  characteristics of the subject neighborhood. The capitalization rates indicated by the sales data are representative of an appropriate rate that would be applicable to the subject property. Based on the indicators exhibited by market data, a capitalization rate in the range of approximately 5.0% to 6.0% is suggested.
 
   
Survey of Investors
  The most useful approach used to estimate an approximate rate of return required by the most probable buyer is to analyze the current investment parameters applied by institutional investors and advisors to real estate pension and portfolio funds when acquiring real estate. According to the First Quarter 2006 Korpacz Real Estate Investor Survey, prepared by Price Waterhouse Coopers, capitalization rates for institutional grade apartment properties range from 4.25% to 8.00% with an average of 6.07%. Capitalization rates in the San Francisco Bay Area are generally aligned with the low end of the national survey range and below the national average.

According to NIA BT Commercial’s Apartment Market Report, Year End 2005, capitalization rates within the San Francisco Bay Area have decreased from a Year End 2004 average of 5.83% to 5.22% for the Year Ending 2005.
 
   
Conclusion
  The sales exhibit overall rates that range from 4.9% to 6.2% and produce an average of 5.5%. Based on the indicators exhibited by the sales data, an appropriate cap rate for the subject property is concluded to be in the range of 5.0% to 6.0%. A rate of 5.5% is processed for valuation purposes.
 
   
Valuation:
  Capitalizing the estimated Net Operating Income of $3,598,690 by a 5.5% rate results in a value conclusion of $65,400,000, rounded ($3,598,690 NOI ¸ 5.0% OAR = $65,430,727).
 
   
Final Value:
  $65,400,000
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
The Sales Comparison Approach to value is the process of comparing recent sales of competitive properties. The estimated value derived via this approach represents the probable price at which the subject property would be sold by a willing seller to a willing buyer as of the date of value.
To estimate the property value by the Sales Comparison Approach, six multifamily apartment building sales, which are summarized in the following table, have been examined and analyzed. All of the sales are garden style apartments with similar physical characteristics within the San Francisco Bay Area apartment market. The appraisal indicators exhibited by the sales data outlined in the following chart are utilized for purposes of estimating a value for the subject via the Sale Comparison Approach.

 


 

Scotchhollow Apartments   May 4, 2006
San Mateo, California   Page 35
The price per apartment unit has been relied upon as the unit of comparison in this approach. The comparative process involves judgment as to the similarity between the subject property and the comparable sale property with regard to a variety of factors affecting value such as location, age and condition of the structure, market conditions, rent levels, property rights conveyed, financing terms, conditions of sale, operational efficiencies and other factors.
ANALYSIS OF SALES: This approach relies on an active market. Sufficient data from the San Francisco Bay Area exists to formulate a value via the Sales Comparison Approach. Below are six sale comparables of similar vintage garden style apartments with similar characteristics to the subject property.

The sales indicate per unit prices ranging from $126,818 to $171,877. All of the comparables represent sales of apartments that are of similar construction componentry as the subject. All of the sales are of the same general vintage as the subject property and generally similar in terms of physical condition. Situated in throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, minor differences exist as to the specific location of each comparable and subject property.
The primary difference between the comparables and the subject are location and average unit size. The most value influencing difference between the subject and the comparable sales is the amount of net operating income generated on a per unit basis. In an attempt to quantify appropriate adjustments to the prices indicated by the comparables, we have analyzed the difference between the net operating income (NOI) per unit of the comparables relative to the NOI of the subject property. In this analysis we have adjusted the sale price of the comparables based on the percentage difference in net income. This factor takes into account the adjustments necessary for the aforementioned factors that are considered to have the most impact on value.
As discussed in the Income Approach section of the report, the NOI estimated for the subject property is $3,598,690 which equates to $8,609 per unit. The adjustments applied to the comparable sales are depicted below.

*Adjustment Factor = (Subject NOI per Unit / Comparable NOI per Unit)
The adjusted per unit indicators fall within a tighter range than the unadjusted per unit prices. The adjusted range of per unit prices is $137,252 to $177,033. The mean and median adjusted unit price is $157,338 and $154,394. Emphasis is placed on all of the sales in concluding to a value of $155,000 per unit for the subject property. Utilizing this per unit value estimate, the total value of the subject property is estimated at $64,800,000.
$155,000 x 418 units = $64,790,000
EGIM ANALYSIS: The sales illustrate EGIMs that range from 9.3 to 10.8. Important in selecting an appropriate EGIM is the review of corresponding operating expenses. There is an inverse relationship which generally holds among EGIMs and operating expenses. Properties which have higher expense ratios typically sell for relatively less and therefore produce a lower EGIM. The operating expense ratios for the sales range from 42% to 52%.
In selecting an appropriate EGIM, consideration must be given to the operating expense ratio estimated for the subject. Based on the income and expenses estimated for the subject property in Income Approach, the subject’s operating expense ratio is calculated at 46%. The subject’s expense ratio is aligned well within the range of ratios exhibited by the sales data and most similar to the ratios exhibited by the sales. An EGIM aligned near the average EGIM exhibited by the comparables (9.77) would be considered reasonable. In consideration of the preceding, an EGIM of 9.75 is concluded.

Based on the effective gross income of $6,659,729 estimated for the subject property, a value indication of $64,900,000 (rounded) is concluded.
$6,659,729 x 9.75 = $64,932,358, or $64,900,000, rounded
CONCLUSION: The noted value indicators utilizing the sales price per unit and EGIM methods are $64,800,000 and $64,900,000, respectively. Due to the similarity of the resulting value indicators, relatively equal consideration was given to both techniques when concluding to a final value via the Sales Comparison Approach of $64,850,000.
As such, the Market Value of the subject property’s Fee Simple Interest via the Sales Comparison Approach is therefore estimated at:
Value via the Sales Comparison Approach                 $64,850,000
RECONCILIATION
         
Cost Approach
    N/A  
Income Capitalization Approach
  $ 65,400,000  
Sales Comparison Approach
  $ 64,850,000  
Income and Sales approaches to value were employed in the appraisal of the subject property. Buyers and sellers rarely rely on the Cost Approach to price commercial real estate. Furthermore, the age of the improvements and subjectivity involved in estimating substantial degrees of physical deterioration reduces the reliability of this approach. As such, a Cost Approach was not employed.
The value derived from the Income Capitalization Approach is well documented and market oriented. The local market is active in terms of investment sales of similar apartment complexes and sufficient sales data was available to develop a defensible value via the Sales Comparison Approach. The value derived through use of the Sales Comparison Approach supports the value concluded for the property via the Income Capitalization Approach. Due to the income producing nature of the subject property, the results of the Income Capitalization Approach are emphasized.
FINAL ESTIMATE OF VALUE                $65,400,000
