Dear Mr. McCandless:

The purpose of this assignment is to estimate the Market Value of the Fee Simple Interest in the subject property, free and clear of mortgage financing as of April 27, 2010, the date the property was inspected by the appraiser. The report has been prepared for Shelter Realty IV Corporation for client’s use in asset evaluation and financial reporting purposes.
Situated as noted above, the subject property consists of a 93.74-acre site improved with a 904-unit garden-style apartment complex. The subject property consists of four apartment “villages” containing one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, townhomes and bungalows developed between 1969 and 1974 that contain a total of 1,084,096 square feet of rentable area. Additional site improvements include a freestanding Resident Relations building, a freestanding management/leasing office and clubhouse, asphalt paved driveways and surface parking areas, parking garages, concrete walkways, six swimming pools with surrounding patio/deck, laundry facilities and landscaping. The complex, locally known as the Villages of Baymeadows, is classified as a Class B apartment community by local market standards. The property is operating at stabilized occupancy and is in average to good physical condition in comparison to substitute properties of similar age and characteristics. The subject property is more fully described, legally and physically, within the attached report.
Based on the analysis contained in the attached report, the Market Value of the Fee Simple Interest in the subject property, free and clear of mortgage financing, as of April 27, 2010, is:

2.   The property is appraised free and clear of any or all liens or encumbrances unless otherwise stated.
 
3.   Responsible ownership and competent property management are assumed.
 
4.   The information furnished by others is believed to be reliable. However, no warranty is given for its accuracy.
 
5.   All engineering is assumed to be correct. The plot plans and illustrative material in this report are included only to assist the reader in visualizing the property.
 
6.   It is assumed that there are no hidden or unapparent conditions of the property, subsoil, or structures that render it more or less valuable. No responsibility is assumed for such conditions or for arranging for engineering studies that may be required to discover them.
 
7.   It is assumed that there is full compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations and laws unless noncompliance is stated, defined, and considered in the appraisal report.
 
8.   It is assumed that all applicable zoning and use regulations and restrictions have been complied with, unless nonconformity has been stated, defined, and considered in the appraisal report.
 
9.   It is assumed that all required licenses, certificates of occupancy, consents, or other legislative or administrative authority from any local, state, or national government or private entity or organization have been or can be obtained or renewed for any use on which the value estimate contained in this report is based.
 
10.   It is assumed that the utilization of the land and improvements is within the boundaries or property lines of the property described and that there is no encroachment or trespass unless noted in the report.
 
11.   The distribution, if any, of the total valuation in this report between land and improvements applies only under the stated program of utilization. The separate allocations for land and buildings must not be used in conjunction with any other appraisal and are invalid if so used.
 
12.   Unless otherwise stated, possession of this report, or a copy thereof, does not carry with it the right of publication.
 
13.   The appraiser, by reason of this appraisal, is not required to give further consultation, testimony, or be in attendance in court with reference to the property in question unless arrangements have been previously made.
 
14.   Unless otherwise stated, neither all nor any part of the contents of this report (especially any conclusions as to value, the identity of the appraiser, or the firm with which the appraiser is connected) shall be disseminated to the public through advertising, public relations, news, sales, or other media without prior written consent and approval of the appraisers.

15.   Unless otherwise stated in this report, the existence of hazardous substances, including without limitation asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum leakage, or agricultural chemicals, which may or may not be present on the property, or other environmental conditions, were not called to the attention of nor did the appraiser become aware of such during the appraiser’s inspection. The appraiser has no knowledge of the existence of such materials on or in the property unless otherwise stated. The appraiser, however, is not qualified to test such substances or conditions. If the presence of such substances, such as asbestos, urea formaldehyde foam insulation, or other hazardous substances or environmental conditions, may affect the value of the property, the value is predicated on the assumption that there is no such condition on or in the property or in such proximity thereto that it 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. The client is urged to retain an expert in this field, if desired.
 
16.   The Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) became effective January 26, 1992. The appraiser has not made a specific compliance survey and analysis of this property to determine whether or not it is in conformity with the various detailed requirements of the ADA. It is possible that a compliance survey of the property, together with a detailed analysis of the requirements of the ADA, could reveal that the property is not in compliance with one or more of the requirements of the Act. If so, this fact could have a negative effect upon the value of the property. Since the appraiser has no direct evidence relating to this issue, he did not consider possible non-compliance with the requirements of the ADA in estimating the value of the property.
 
17.   Former personal property items such as kitchen and bathroom appliances are now either permanently affixed to the real estate or are implicitly part of the real estate in that tenants expect the use of such items in exchange for rent and never gain any of the rights of ownership. Furthermore, the intention of the owners is not to remove the articles which are required under the implied or express Warranty of Habitability. The accounting for the short-lived nature of such items is reflected in a reserves for replacement expense category.
EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS/SPECIAL CONDITIONS
1.   We have not been provided with a current survey, architectural plans or other specifications for the subject property. Therefore, we have relied upon data obtained from public records, our cursory inspection of the property and client provided rent roll data and floor plans for the purpose of estimating the site and building size and other details pertaining to the existing improvements.
 
2.   Our inspection of the property comprised an overview of the exterior common areas as well as the interior of a random sampling of individual units. Our analysis is conditioned upon the assumption that the units not inspected are representative of similar condition and layout as the inspected units.
 
3.   The scope of our inspection of the subject property is limited to a cursory overview for valuation purposes only. All electrical, plumbing, mechanical and structural systems are assumed to be in proper working order. An inspection by a licensed contractor and/or engineer is recommended for further detailed information regarding the condition of the subject property.

COGENT Realty Advisors, LLC

 


 

     
Villages of Baymeadows Apartments   May 28, 2010
Jacksonville, Florida   Page 4
     
 
  The most probable price which a specified interest in real property is likely to bring under all of the following conditions:
 
 
1.    Consummation of a sale occurs as of a specified date.
 
 
2.    An open and competitive market exists for the property interest appraised.
 
 
3.    The buyer and seller are each acting prudently and knowledgably.
 
 
4.    The price is not affected by undue stimulus.
 
 
5.    The buyer and seller are typically motivated.
 
 
6.    Both parties are acting in what they consider their best interest.
 
 
7.    Marketing efforts were adequate and a reasonable time was allowed for exposure in the open market.
 
 
8.    Payment was made in cash, in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto.
 
 
9.    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.
Property Rights Appraised
  Fee Simple Estate. A Fee Simple Estate is defined in The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Fourth Edition, Chicago, Illinois, Appraisal Institute, 2002, as:
 
  “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)”.
Intended Use and Intended User
  The intended user of this report is Shelter Realty IV Corporation It is understood that this appraisal will be utilized by the intended user as an aid in asset evaluation and financial reporting. All others reading or relying on this appraisal report are considered unintended users of this appraisal. The appraisal cannot be used for any other reason than that stated above. Should anyone other than the client read or rely on this report, no fiduciary obligation is owed by the appraisers to that party. The appraisers are not responsible for unauthorized use of this report.
 
  This appraisal has been prepared in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) as promulgated by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation as well as the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute. The presentation of data and results of our analysis are presented in a Self-contained Report format as set forth under Standards Rule 2-2 of the USPAP.
Exposure Period
  According to the previously stated definition of Market Value, the property must be allowed a reasonable time to be exposed in the open market to achieve the appraised value. Exposure is defined by the Appraisal Institute, The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, as:
 
 
  The time a property remains on the market.
COGENT Realty Advisors, LLC

 


 

     
Villages of Baymeadows Apartments   May 28, 2010

   The estimated length of time the property interest being appraised would have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at market value on the effective date of the appraisal; a retrospective estimate based upon an analysis of past events assuming a competitive and open market. Exposure time is always presumed to occur prior to the effective date of the appraisal. The overall concept of reasonable exposure encompasses not only adequate, sufficient and reasonable time but also adequate, sufficient and reasonable effort. Exposure time is different for various types of real estate and value ranges and under various market conditions.
 
  Review of transfer records suggests that there is an active investor market for good quality apartment properties; however marketing times have increased over the past year. Conventional sources of capital are limited in the current economic environment. Mortgage underwriting has become more conservative over the past year and a greater level of equity is now required to obtain financing. This factor has caused overall capitalization rates and investment yields to increase over the recent past and has impacted sales activity for most types of commercial real estate.
 
  We believe that if the subject property were exposed to the market for a reasonable period of time prior to the effective date of this appraisal, which we consider to be a period of up to 12 months, the subject property would transfer at an appropriate price, that is to say, the appraised value. Support for this exposure period is provided by the Korpacz Real Estate Investor Survey First Quarter 2010, which indicates that marketing times for apartment properties in the national market range from 1 to 18 months. The average marketing time equates to 8.03 months, up from 6.7 months. This marketing period is supported by data in the local market.
 
  We acknowledge that in appraising the property to sell after the aforementioned exposure period, we must place most emphasis on the buyer’s expectations and yield requirements. The value conclusion rendered for the property through implementation of the Income Capitalization Approach has been accorded most significance as this technique most closely emulates buyer’s expectations and yield requirements. The market value estimate concluded herein assumes an exposure and marketing period of up to 12 months has occurred.

REGIONAL AND AREA ANALYSIS
     
Introduction
  Real estate values reflect the influence of four primary forces that motivate human activity; social trends, economic conditions, governmental policies and environmental factors. The purpose of the city data synopsis is to describe and analyze the area within which the interactions of the four major forces influence properties similar to the subject. This section will further analyze past trends for insight into possible future trends affecting the value of real estate.
 
  The subject property is located within Jacksonville, the principal city in the Greater Jacksonville Metropolitan Area. The Jacksonville Metropolitan Statistical Area consists of Duval, Clay, St. Johns, Nassau and Baker Counties. It is the fourth largest metropolitan area in the state of Florida, behind Miami, Tampa/St Petersburg, and Orlando. Jacksonville is located in the First Coast region of northeast Florida and is centered on the banks of the St. Johns River, about 25 miles south of the Georgia border and about 340 miles north of Miami.
 
  Relevant socioeconomic characteristics of the area include the following: population, income, employment, transportation, and quality of life issues.
Population
  As a result of the 1968 consolidation of Jacksonville and Duval County, most of the suburban communities of Jacksonville were absorbed within the city limits of Jacksonville proper. As of the census estimates of 2008, there were 807,815 people in Jacksonville. The 2009 estimate places the MSA population at just over 1.3 million. The following outlines the historical population trend for the area over the past decade.

  The total 2010 estimated population of Greater Jacksonville Metropolitan Area is approximately 1.34 million residents. The short-term forecast calls for an overall increase in the number of workers through year-end 2011.
Economy
  Jacksonville’s location on the St. Johns River and the Atlantic Ocean proved providential in the growth of the city and its industry. The largest

  city in the state, it is also the largest deepwater port in the south (as well as the second-largest port on the U.S. East coast) and a leading port in the U.S. for automobile imports, as well as the leading transportation and distribution hub in the state. However, the strength of the city’s economy lies in its broad diversification. While the area once had many thriving dairies such as Gustafson’s Farm and Skinner Dairy, this aspect of the economy has declined over time. The area’s economy is balanced among distribution, financial services, biomedical technology, consumer goods, information services, manufacturing, insurance and other industries.
 
  Jacksonville is a rail, air, and highway focal point and a busy port of entry, with Jacksonville International Airport, ship repair yards and extensive freight-handling facilities. Lumber, phosphate, paper, cigars and wood pulp are the principal exports; automobiles and coffee are among imports. The city also has a large and diverse manufacturing base.
 
  Cecil Commerce Center is located on the site of the former Naval Air Station Cecil Field which closed in 1999 following a 1993 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) decision. Covering a total area of 22,939 acres, it was the largest military base in the Jacksonville area. The parcel contains more than 3% of the total land area in Duval County. The industrial and commercial-zoned center offers mid- to large-size parcels for development and boasts excellent transportation and utility infrastructure as well as the third-longest runway in Florida.
Employment
  Jacksonville is home to many prominent corporations & organizations including three Fortune 500 Companies: CSX Corporation, Fidelity National Financial and Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc.. Fortune Magazine identified Landstar System, MPS Group and PSS World Medical as the best big companies in Jacksonville in 2009. The employment sectors in the MSA are generally diverse. The largest employment sectors being Leisure and Hospitality, Trade, Transportation and Utilities; and Professional and Business Services.
 
  Over the last five years, total employment in the Jacksonville area has declined at an average annual rate of 0.5%, similar to the U.S. as a whole where employment has declined at an average annual rate of 0.5%.

  The unemployment rate in the Jacksonville MSA has been generally similar to that of Florida State. This trend has continued through to present day. Beginning in 2008, as the national economy began to slip into a recession, the unemployment rates in Florida, as well as the Jacksonville MSA, have exceeded the US national average rates.
 
  Total employment stands at approximately 607,064 workers for the Jacksonville area. The subject’s MSA indicated unemployment rate of 11.9% as of March 2010 was similar to the state unemployment rate and higher than the national unemployment rates of 12.0% and 10.3%, respectively.
Transportation
  I-10 and I-95 intersect in Jacksonville. The eastern terminus of US-90 is in nearby Jacksonville Beach near the Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, several other roads as well a major local expressway, J. Turner Butler Boulevard (SR 202) also connect Jacksonville to the beaches. Interstate 95 has a bypass route, with I-295, which bypasses the city to the west, and SR-9A, bypassing the city to the east. The major interchange at SR 9A and SR 202 (Butler Blvd.) was completed on December 24, 2008. In the near future, SR 9A will become I-295 and the interstate will therefore circumscribe the most populated portion of Jacksonville.
 
  Public transportation provided by the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) includes regular and express bus service. Jacksonville is the headquarters of two significant freight railroads. Airports in Jacksonville include the Jacksonville International Airport on the Northside, the smaller Craig Municipal Airport in Arlington and Herlong Airport on the Westside. Jacksonville is a full-service international seaport.

Conclusion
  The declining workforce and escalating unemployment rates are indications of an economy faced with challenges. Unemployment is on an upward trend but appears to be stabilizing, and is forecast to improve over the near term. Given the area’s varied employment base, the long term perspective is positive. Even with a short-term downturn, total population is projected to increase slightly.
 
  Given the current national turmoil in the credit markets and the national economic recession, the challenges faced by the region are not atypical. The decrease in the workforce and the rise in unemployment in the region are largely attributed to the national economic condition.
 
  In the long term, a strong military presence, growing prominence as an international trade port, and robust demographic trends ensure that Jacsonville will be an above-average performer. Overall, the economic outlook for the region suggests modest declines for the near term, but positive growth over the longer term.

NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSIS
     
Introduction
  The Appraisal of Real Estate defines a neighborhood as “a group of complimentary land uses”. A neighborhood should be distinguished from a district, which is defined as “a type of neighborhood that is characterized by homogenous land use”. A neighborhood will contain land uses complimentary to one another. For example, predominantly residential neighborhoods typically contain some commercial properties that provide services for local residents. The boundaries of a neighborhood can be physical such as a lake, stream or major highway or they may be less easily discernible such as changes in prevailing land use or occupant characteristics.
Location
  The subject consists of five apartment “village” communities situated within the southeast portion of Jacksonville. The subject neighborhood is generally defined as the area bound by I-95 to the west, J. Turner Butler Boulevard (SR 202) to the north and I-295 (Florida SR 9A) to the west and south. The subject is located in the northwest portion of the defined neighborhood. The Jacksonville’s urban core is approximately 10 miles to the north.
 
  Baymeadows is a relatively affluent neighborhood centered around Baymeadows Road. The Baymeadows neighborhood is home to many corporate office parks, upscale apartment complexes and residential developments, two private golf courses, several shopping centers and a large shopping mall. The commute to the Downtown Jacksonville is about 15 minutes.
Access
  Primary access to the subject neighborhood is provided by I-95, J. Turner Butler Boulevard and I-295. The western and eastern halves of I-295 create a limited-access beltway around Jacksonville. I-95 serves the Atlantic coast of Florida and connects the neighborhood with downtown Jacksonville 10 miles to the north. It has several major interchanges including I-10, just south of downtown, J. Turner Butler Boulevard and I-295/SR 9A twice (the two highways provide a western and eastern bypass, respectively, around the city). J. Turner Butler Boulevard forms the subject’s northern boundary and extends from U.S. Highway 1 (just west of I-95) to SR A1A (Third Street) in Jacksonville Beach, near the Atlantic Ocean.
Land Uses
  The various land uses within the subject neighborhood include commercial, retail and residential developments and vacant land. The neighborhood is observed to be in the growth stage of its economic life cycle. Growth patterns have occurred primarily along primary commercial thoroughfares.
 
  Commercial development can be found primarily along major thoroughfares and their intersections. There is a large concentration of commercial development and employment centers at the intersection of I-95 and Baymeadows Road. Neighborhood shopping and services are situated along Southside Boulevard Road and at primary intersections

  throughout the area. Notable developments in the area include the Deerwood Country Club, Tinseltown Movie Theatre, St. Johns Towne Center and Avenues Mall.
 
  By visual observation, we estimate land use of the subject neighborhood as follows: 45% single-family, 15% commercial/retail, 20% multifamily and 20% vacant/underutilized land. Most of the vacant land consists of mid-sized tracts scattered throughout the area. The bulk of the multifamily properties were constructed in the mid- to late-1980’s. However, the area has experienced substantial growth in all property types over the past 20 years.
Utilities and Services
  There are adequate private and public education facilities located throughout the neighborhood and surrounding areas. The subject neighborhood is located within the Duval County School District. Local schools include Beauclerc Elementary, Southside Middle School and Englewood High School. Nearby colleges include University of North Florida and Florida Coastal School of Law. Private schools are also located throughout the area. Numerous houses of worship are located throughout the neighborhood. The neighborhood represents a desirable area of Jacksonville with adequate streets and park maintenance, police and fire protection and utility capacities.
Economic Trends
  In terms of the local economy, the subject neighborhood is a well-located and stable employment and residential area situated in the southeastern sector of Jacksonville. The neighborhood has good accessibility to major employment centers, proximity to regional highways, and desirable residential neighborhoods. Due primarily to its accessible location and availability of vacant land to accommodate new development, the prospects for continued economic growth of the area is considered good.
Conclusion
  In summary, the subject neighborhood is an established and desirable area that offers a broad range of services and good access to other parts of the city. The neighborhood is accessible to regional transportation linkages with good access to employment centers, residential neighborhoods, and shopping and entertainment venues. The neighborhood is adequately serviced by public utilities and community facilities. The neighborhood is designed to serve the needs of local residents and businesses. There appears to be no detrimental influences upon the neighborhood which would inhibit the income-producing capabilities of the subject property. The long-term prospects for the neighborhood and the subject property are positive.

SITE ANALYSIS
     
Location
  The subject is situated along Baymeadows Circle East, a secondary thoroughfare accessible from the north side of Baymeadows Road, a primary commercial corridor of the neighborhood. The physical address of the property is 7915 Baymeadows Circle East, Duval County, Florida. The subject is approximately 10 miles south of the Jacksonville central business district.
Site Area
  Total land area equates to 93.74± acres, or approximately 4,083,315 square feet.
Street Frontage
  The subject site is afforded with an adequate amount of frontage along the east and west sides of Baymeadows Circle East. Access to Baymeadows Circle (East and West) is along the north side of Baymeadows Road.
Topography
  The site is generally level and on grade with adjoining properties. There are several small lakes adjoining the site. The community surrounds a large tract of undeveloped land which was part of a former golf course.
Shape
  The parcel is irregular in shape. The size, shape, and configuration of the subject site provide for a functional layout, which is similar to competitors.
Excess/Surplus Land
  Traffic circulation throughout the property and an adequate number of parking spaces is provided on asphalt paved drives and surface lots. Building setbacks allow for landscaped buffers, similar to surrounding properties. There does not appear to be excess or surplus land.
Utilities
  All customary municipal services and utility hookups are provided.
Soil Information
  No adverse conditions were readily apparent.
Flood Information
  According to FEMA Map No. 1200770217E, dated 08/15/1989, the subject property is situated in Flood Zone “X”, an area determined to be outside the 0.2% annual chance floodplain.
Zoning
  The subject site is currently zoned Residential Medium Density- D (RMD- D) by the City of Jacksonville. This category permits residential developments in a gross density range of up to 20 dwelling units per acre when full urban services are available to the site.
 
  The current use of the site appears to constitute a legal conforming use of the property. However, no representations are made by the appraisers and a review of the complete text of the Jacksonville Zoning Code, as well as other applicable ordinances and development regulations, is recommended for full details pertaining to zoning.
Easements and Encroachments
  Although we were not provided a current title report to review, we are not aware of any easements, encumbrances, or restrictions that would adversely affect the use of the site. A title search is recommended to determine
COGENT Realty Advisors, LLC

 


 

     
Villages of Baymeadows Apartments
Jacksonville, Florida

Page 13
     
 
  whether any adverse conditions exist. We are not aware of any type of development moratorium that would affect the property.
 
  We were not provided with a recent survey for the subject development. Our inspection of the subject property did not reveal any apparent adverse encroachments based solely on visual observations. An updated survey is recommended for final determination.
 
  No title report or survey showing the location of easements was provided in connection with this assignment. Thus, it is not possible to make a definitive conclusion regarding any potential impacts on value of the location of any such easements or encroachments. Visual observations of the site revealed no adverse easements or encroachments. It appears as though the site is encumbered by utility and access easements typical of a developed site. It is specifically assumed that any easements, restrictions or encroachments that might appear against the title would have no adverse impact on marketability or value.
Environmental
  No readily observable adverse environmental site conditions were noted. No environmental reports were provided for review.
Accessibility/Visibility
  Ingress and egress to Baymeadows Circle East and the subject property is via Baymeadows Road. Ingress and egress to the property is also provided by Paseo Drive East off of Baymeadows Road. The buildings are only partially visible to passing traffic from Baymeadows Road; however, this is typical for multifamily properties along major thoroughfares in the area. There is signage identifying the subject property off of Baymeadows Circle East.
Improvements
  The site is improved with a 904-unit garden-style apartment complex. The subject community consists of four “villages” containing one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, townhomes and bungalows developed between 1969 and 1974 and containing 1,084,096 square feet of rentable area. Additional site improvements include a freestanding Resident Relations building, a freestanding management/leasing office and clubhouse, asphalt paved driveways and surface parking areas, parking garages, concrete walkways, six swimming pools with surrounding patio/deck, laundry facilities and landscaping.
Conclusions
  The site attributes are well suited for the existing development and use.

  and tear. Carpet and mechanical equipment in the individual units are updated and/or replaced on an as-needed basis. Most of the exterior air- conditioning condensing units were replaced within the recent past. According to Marshall Valuation Service, buildings similar to the subject property have an economic life of approximately 50 years. The actual average age of the property is estimated at 39 years. As a result of on-going maintenance, the effective age is estimated to be less than the actual age of the improvements. The effective age is estimated at approximately 30 years.
Capital Improvements
  Prudent management budgets a certain amount each year in a sinking fund to replace short-lived items, including kitchen appliances and cabinets, bathroom fixtures and tiling, flooring repairs, HVAC replacement and common elements such as the roof, exterior wood and parking areas.

A review of the subject operating statements and budget indicate that an adequate amount of capital expenditures are spent annually so as to maintain the habitability of the apartments. No extra-ordinary future expenditures were reported or observed to be required.
Functional Obsolescence
  The subject property represents standard design, systems and floor plans consistent with traditional garden style apartment complexes. The property has operated at rental rates and occupancy levels that are consistent with that of other similar properties within the influencing market, attesting to its functional adequacy and market acceptance. Considering these factors, no adjustment for functional obsolescence is required.
External Obsolescence
  External obsolescence is a loss in value resulting from conditions that are present outside the subject property and is usually incurable. No site- specific external obsolescence was noted. Adjacent properties and nearby uses benefit the subject property. However, external obsolescence attributable to current market conditions is applicable.
Conclusions
  The subject improvements have adequate functional utility, conform well to the general character of the neighborhood and are generally similar to competitors.

REAL ESTATE ASSESSMENTS AND TAXES
     
Assessor’s Identification
  The subject property is identified by the Duval County Property Appraiser office by Tax Identification Number 148521-0030.
Overview
  Real property taxes are based on multiplying the “Assessment”, which is 100% of the “Fair Market Value” (FMV) as determined by the Duval County Property Appraiser, and the Tax Rate, which is determined by municipal, county administration, county school board budgets, several other taxing districts/authorities and also several bond issues.

The tax year is based on a calendar year, payable in arrears. The FMV is supposed to reflect total property value as of January 1 of each year. The Tax Rate is typically determined after the assessments have been finalized in July and prior to billing in September. Although payment is due without penalty by March 31 of the following year, discounts up to 4% are available by making payment in November which results in a decrease of 1% per month through February.
 
  The assessor can use all three of the standard appraisal methods to establish an equitable FMV. Although a property’s assessment is not automatically changed upon sale, the sales price would be considered and included in the general market pricing trend during subsequent revaluations. Countywide revaluations are required annually with at least every three years; however, the assessor re-evaluates property annually.
 
  The millage varies by taxing district within the county. Each taxing district’s total millage is comprised of individual millages determined by multiple taxing authorities operating within that district. The subject property in the “GS” (City of Jacksonville) taxing district. Taxing authorities include Duval County Public Schools, Florida Inland Navigation and St Johns River Water Management.
Assessments
  The subject’s total 2010 “working” assessment of $56,629,500 represents an 8.9% increase over the 2009 Certified Assessment Value of $52,000,000. It is noted that the “working” assessment is a preliminary value. Certified assessments will not be finalized until TRIM notices are mailed in July.
Comparable Assessments
  Similar properties within the subject property’s immediate vicinity were surveyed to ascertain the reasonableness of the subject property’s current FMV assessment. As indicated in the following table, the subject’s assessment per unit is within the range of assessments exhibited by the comparable properties. The subject’s large average unit size in comparison to those of the comparable properties is offset by the age of the improvements.

In light of recent declines in economic and market conditions, rates appear to be increasing as assessed values have declined. The 2009 total tax rate applicable for all taxing authorities with jurisdiction over the subject property equates to 17.3050 per $1,000 of assessed value.
Non-Ad Valorem
   
Assessments
  In addition to the various taxing authorities that comprise the combined millage rate listed above, there are also non ad valorem assessments. The establishment of non ad valorem assessments is intended to ensure that low and no valued properties contribute toward various municipal and other government provided services. Currently, there is no Non-Ad Valorem assessment applicable to the subject property.
Real Estate Tax Projection
  The value concluded for the property in this appraisal is similar to the 2010 “working” assessment. The “working” assessment however does not consider a cost of sale factor described below.
 
  As the definition of market value inherently considers the sale of the property at the concluded value and said value would be considered in the assessment process, the real estate tax calculation is predicated on an assessed value equivalent to the concluded market value estimate, less applicable costs of sale. The $56,600,000 market value conclusion reduced by a 15% cost of sale results in an estimated assessment of $48,110,000.
 
  Future increases in reassessments are expected to reflect annual increases near the anticipated inflation rate during the same period. Tax rates are expected to remain relatively stable. Based on the estimated assessment of

  $48,110,000 and 2009 tax rate of 17.3050/$1,000, a gross ad valorem tax liability of $832,544 is derived. This amount is reduced by 4% to reflect the early payment discount, yielding the net tax liability of $799,242. There is no non-ad valorem assessment for the subject property. As such, a total tax expense of $800,000, rounded, is projected.

APARTMENT MARKET ANALYSIS
     
Introduction
  The following apartment market analysis is designed to provide the reader an understanding of the Austin 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 Marcus & Millichap Market Update Report for the Jacksonville Metro Area (1st Quarter 2010 and MPF Research) and the CB Richard Ellis, MarketView for Multi-Housing (January 2010).
Jacksonville Overview
  After Jacksonville ranked as the weakest apartment occupancy performer across the 64 metros that form the core of MPF Research’s U.S. analysis at the end of 2009, the market exhibited some very encouraging momentum during the initial months of 2010. While occupancy still was only at 88.5% as of March, that figure was up an impressive 2.2% points from the rate seen in December. During the first three months of 2010, Jacksonville absorbed a robust total of nearly 1,800 apartments. Rents continued to falter during early 2010, but the pace of decline wasn’t nearly as drastic as had been seen previously. Measuring change on a same-store basis, effective pricing declined 0.7% for the quarter. Annual rent loss remained extreme, coming in at 5.7%.
 
  According to Marcus & Millichap, apartment property fundamentals in Jacksonville have yet to stabilize since the wave of new construction over the past three years. In 2009, the delivery of 2,000 units contributed to a 170 basis point jump in vacancy. Supply has increased much faster than demand, especially in the North Jacksonville and Arlington submarkets, both of which posted vacancy of around 20% last year. No new projects are scheduled to be delivered in these areas in 2010, but limited demand will sustain high vacancy rates. While supply growth has been a driver behind the recent rise in metrowide vacancy, trends have started to shift, as completions will decline this year. Also, permitting fell more than 30% in 2009 and is projected to retreat further in 2010 due to lingering weakness in demand generators. Any pause in building activity will provide owners an opportunity to fill vacant units as demand begins to recover.
 
  Most Jacksonville apartment complexes are offering rent concessions. Typical of those is a free month in return for a signed lease, but some renters are opting to pro-rate that free month into rent discounts over the term of their lease.
 
  Investment activity is anticipated to pick up over the course of 2010 as buyers identify prospects and many owners either develop disposition strategies or seek to expand local portfolios. Financially distressed assets will likely come to market more frequently, allowing owners of fundamentally sound properties to redeploy capital into discounted assets. Average cap rates are expected to remain in the 7.5% to 9% range, depending on operations, age and location according to one market analyst.

  As indicated, the short-term forecast calls for moderate improvement in vacancies and rental rate through 2011. Total net absorption is forecasted to be appositive 4,207 units, out-pacing supply during the same period. By year-end 2010, the annualized vacancy rate is expected to be 10.8% while rents are forecasted to decline to $711.98 compared to current market rents of $731.55.
 
  Between 2010 and 2015 new supply is expected to average 122 units, while net absorption is expected to average 1,243 units, out-pacing new supply. Vacancy rates are expected to drop to 6.4%, while rents are forecasted to rise to $788.84.
 
  Jacksonville offers stability in markets south of the St. Johns River, as the north and west submarkets were severely hit by the recession. Despite high vacancy rates, thousands of new units came on line in 2008 and 2009. As a result of the oversupply, average rents in Jacksonville are expected to continue to decline at least for the coming year, stabilize in 2011 and begin to strengthen thereafter.
Submarket Analysis
  The subject is located within the Southside submarket which is one of eight submarket areas defined by the CB Richard Ellis report. The Southside submarket reported a vacancy rate of 9.7%, as of the 1st Quarter 2010, down 45 basis points from one year ago. Effective rental rates in the submarket had been on a declining trend over the past two years. The Southside reported an average effective rental rate of $793.94 per unit at the end of the 1st Quarter 2010, down 6.0% from the 1st

  Quarter 2009. Vacancies are forecast to decrease 140 basis points by 2011 to 8.3%, outperforming the metro area.
 
  Overall, the factors attributed to the performance of properties within this submarket as compared to others within the region include a stable supply of existing units with no additional apartment projects on the near term horizon. Supply and demand factors indicate that in the short term, the apartment market is likely to reflect an increase in the net absorption of apartment units. This should have a positive impact on the submarket and subject property. As a result, the subject market area is considered to be generally stable overall and that continued growth should reflect general population trends within the market into the foreseeable future.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE
     
Definition
  Highest and Best Use in appraisal theory is defined by the Appraisal Institute, The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, 4th Edition, Appraisal Institute, Chicago, Illinois, 2002 as “the reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved property, which is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the highest value. The four criteria the highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility, and maximum profitability.”
 
   
 
  There are typically two highest and best use scenarios: The highest and best use of the property as improved and the highest and best use of the site as if vacant. In each case, the use must pass four “tests”; it must be physically possible, legally permissible, financially feasible, and maximally productive.
 
   
HIGHEST AND BEST USE AS VACANT
 
   
Definition
  Highest and Best Use As Vacant is defined as “among all reasonable, alternative uses, the use that yields the highest present land value, after payments are made for labor, capital, and coordination. The use of a property based on the assumption that the parcel of land is vacant or can be made vacant by demolishing any improvements.”
 
   
Physically Possible
  The subject site’s size and shape would allow for most uses. Surrounding land uses generally include residential development. All utilities are available or currently service the site. The physical characteristics of the site should reasonably accommodate any use that is not restricted by the size, configuration or location of the property
 
   
Legally Permissible
  The subject property is currently zoned for medium density residential uses. We are unaware of any adverse easements, restrictions or other agreements affecting permitted uses of the subject site. Given prevailing land use patterns in the area, current zoning and land use designations and recognizing the principle of conformity, some form of multifamily residential development reflecting permitted density is likely.
 
   
Financially Feasible
  In light of current economic conditions, all types of properties have realized decreasing occupancy and rent levels. The existing supply of commercial properties and apartment units in the area appears to be sufficient to satisfy the existing level of demand. Given current market conditions, the financial feasibility for large-scale development is questionable at this time. Even if financial feasibility were pronounced, it would be difficult to obtain construction financing and capital in the currently constrained credit markets.

Maximally Productive
  Given the above discussion, a holding period of the site as vacant is indicated until market conditions improve to the point financial feasibility is evident. The maximally productive use of the site is future development of a multifamily project to the maximum allowed density.
 
   
Conclusion
  Based upon the preceding analysis, it is our opinion that the Highest and Best Use of the site, as vacant, is for residential development consistent with surrounding land uses when economic conditions improve to a level that permits development.
 
   
HIGHEST AND BEST USE AS IMPROVED
 
   
Definition
  Highest and Best Use As Improved is defined as “the use that should be made of a property as it exists. An existing property should be renovated or retained as is so long as it continues to contribute to the total market value of the property, or until the return from a new improvement would more than offset the cost of demolishing the existing building and constructing a new one”.
 
   
Physically Possible
  The subject is currently improved with a garden-style apartment complex. The complex was built between 1969 and 1974 and is 95% leased. The improvements are functional, and have been adequately maintained with on-going repairs and/or renovations programs occurring when needed.
 
   
Legally Permissible
  The subject property is reportedly a legal conforming use of the site.
 
   
Financially Feasible
  The complex is achieving its fair share of the market and is capable of maintaining market rents and occupancy in its current condition. Accordingly, the subject improvements contribute a positive return to value.
 
   
Maximally Productive
  The property’s improvements generate a return to the real estate in excess of that generated by the underlying land and in consideration of current depressed conditions related to the condominium conversion market several projects have failed and are returning to rental properties.
 
   
Conclusion
  Based upon the preceding analysis, it is our opinion that the highest and best use of the site as improved is for the continued multifamily residential use.

VALUATION PROCESS
     
INTRODUCTION
  There are three traditional approaches that can be employed in establishing the market value of the subject property. In practice, an approach to value is included or omitted based on the property type and the quality and quantity of information available in the marketplace. These approaches and their applicability to the valuation of the subject are summarized as follows.
 
   
Cost Approach
  The application of the cost approach is based on the principle of substitution. This principle may be stated as follows: no one is justified in paying more for a property than the cost to develop a substitute property of equivalent desirability and utility. In the case of a new building, no deficiencies in the building should exist. The Cost Approach is typically only a reliable indicator of value for (a) new properties; (b) special use properties; and (c) where the cost of reproducing the improvements is easily and accurately quantified and there is no external obsolescence. In all instances, the issue of an appropriate entrepreneurial profit — the reward for undertaking the risk of construction — remains a highly subjective factor.
 
   
 
  In the case of income-producing real estate with some items of depreciation, the cost of construction plays a minor and relatively insignificant role in determining market value. Investors are generally not buying, selling, or lending with reliance placed on the methodology of the Cost Approach to establish value. The Cost Approach has not been processed for purposes of this valuation assignment.
 
   
Income Approach
  The Income Capitalization Approach is based on the premise that value is derived by converting anticipated benefits into property value. Anticipated benefits include the present value of the net income and the present value of the net proceeds resulting from the re-sale of the property.
 
   
 
  There are two methods of accomplishing this: (1) direct capitalization of a single year’s income by an overall capitalization rate and; (2) the discounted cash flow in which the annual cash flows and reversionary value are discounted to a present value for the remainder of the property’s productive life or over a reasonable holding (ownership) period.
 
   
 
  The subject property has an adequate operations history to determine the income-producing capabilities over the near future. In addition, performance levels of competitive properties serve as an adequate check as to the reasonableness of the subject property’s actual performance. As such, the Income Capitalization Approach is utilized in this appraisal.
 
   
Sales Comparison
  The Sales Comparison Approach is an estimate of value based upon a process of comparing recent sales of similar properties in the surrounding or competing areas to the subject property. Inherent in and central to this approach is the principle of substitution. This comparative process involves judgment as to the similarity of the subject property and the comparable sales with respect to many value factors such as location, contract rent levels, quality of construction, reputation and prestige, age and condition, and the interest transferred, among others. The value estimated through this

  approach represents the probable price at which the subject property would be sold by a willing seller to a willing and knowledgeable buyer as of the date of value.
 
   
 
  The reliability of this technique 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 atypical conditions affecting the individual sales prices. Although the volume of sales activity is down as a result of market conditions, our research revealed adequate sales activity to form a reasonable estimation of the subject property’s market value via the Sales Comparison Approach.
 
   
Reconciliation
  The final step in the appraisal process is to reconcile the various value indications into a single final estimate. Each approach is reviewed in order to determine its appropriateness relative to the subject property. The accuracy of the data available and the quantity of evidence are weighted in each approach. The resulting estimate represents the subject property’s market value as defined in the appraisal.

INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH
     
VALUATION
  As the subject property represents a stabilized occupancy, we have used the Direct Capitalization method to estimate a value for the subject property. The following income and expense discussion will explain our input for the analysis.
 
   
 
  Direct Capitalization is defined as “a method used to convert an estimate of a single year’s income expectancy into an indication of value in one direct step, either by dividing the income estimate by an appropriate rate or by multiplying the income estimate by an appropriate factor. It further states that: only the first year’s income is considered. Yield and value change are implied, but not identified. The rate at which a stabilized net operating income is converted into value is known as an overall capitalization rate (OAR).” The major tasks involved in this approach to valuing the subject property are:
 
   
 
 
1.   Calculate potential gross income from all sources that a competent owner could legally generate.
 
   
 
 
2.   Estimate and deduct an appropriate vacancy and collection loss factor to arrive at effective gross income.
 
   
 
 
3.   Estimate and deduct operating expenses that would be expected during a stabilized year to arrive at a probable net operating income.
 
   
 
 
4.   Develop an appropriate overall capitalization rate to apply to the net operating income.
 
   
 
 
5.   Value is estimated by dividing the net operating income by the overall capitalization rate. Any adjustments to account for differences between the current conditions and stabilized conditions are also considered.
 
   
REVENUE ANALYSIS
   
Potential Gross Income
  The potential gross income from apartment unit rentals is calculated at $750,483 per month or $9,005,796 for the appraised year based on the conclusion derived in the Market Rent Analysis section.
 
   
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. In the case of the subject property, the loss to lease also accounts for concessions that are offered in the form of reduced rent.
 
   
 
  Operating statements under review indicate an historical loss to lease of approximately 0.2% was realized in 2007. A gain to lease of 1.7% and 2.7% of the gross rent potential was reported in 2008 and 2009 respectively, as quoted rent levels declined below the level of rents in place. Review of the current rent roll indicates that current rents in place are less than 1.0% below the market rent estimated above. Based on the current rents in place and historical indicators, no allowance attributable to loss to lease is forecasted in the valuation pro forma.

Concessions
  Although concessions within the subject’s influencing area are available, the concessions are generally focused on specific units for limited periods of time. Each of the properties surveyed as rent comparables offer some form of rent concession. The concessions primarily consist primarily of reduced rent or in certain instances free rent over a portion of the lease term. As market fundamentals improve, concessions will abate and effective rent levels will begin to escalate.
 
   
 
  At the subject property, concessions are amortized over the lease term resulting in a reduced rent structure in comparison to historically achieved rent levels. Concessions have ranged from 2.8% to 5.5% of the gross rent potential over the last few years. The current budget provides no allowance for concessions as they are accounted for in the currently reduced rent structure. In consideration of the market rent structure estimated above, no additional allowance for concessions is warranted.
 
   
Vacancy/Credit Loss
  The subject has been able to maintain its fair share of market occupancy despite weakening market fundamentals over the past few years. It is currently 95% occupied, or 5% vacant, as of the date of appraisal. The subject’s current vacancy level is below both the Southside submarket’s market vacancy rate of 9.7%, as of the 1st Quarter 2010, and the Jacksonville metro area of 12.4%.
 
   
 
  The subject’s current level of occupancy is aligned with the high end of the range of occupancy levels reported by competitors in the immediate vicinity. Occupancy levels for the competing properties in the influencing market area are outlined in the following table.
OVERVIEW OF COMPETITIVE OCCUPANCY LEVELS
                         
Name   YOC   Total Units   Occupancy
 
Casa del Mar
    1983       144       95 %
St. John’s Plantation
    1989       400       96 %
Paradise Island
    1990       1,112       96 %
Hunter’s Ridge At Deerwood

Bay Club
    1992       220       91 %
 
Averages
    1988       442       95 %
 
     
 
  The subject property has a history of stable occupancy and has maintained an average occupancy level in the range of 90% to 95% over the past couple of years. The year-to-date 2010 average occupancy at the subject property is approximately 95%. The subject’s sustained level of occupancy is similar to the occupancy levels achieved by competitors in the influencing market area. A vacancy factor of 5.0% is estimated.
 
   
 
  Collection losses have been minimal over the past three years, averaging approximately 1.0%. A combined vacancy and collection loss factor of 6.0% is forecasted in the valuation pro forma.
 
   
Utility Reimbursements
  Included in this category is the revenue received from tenants paying or reimbursing ownership for their share of utilities and services including gas, water, sewer and trash collection. Utility income has been increasing over the past few years ranging from $447 to $465 per unit between 2007 and

  2009. The 2010 budget projects utility recovery to be $541 per unit. Based on the historical and budgeted utility income receipts, we have estimated Utility Income to be $452,000, or $500 per unit.
 
   
Other Income
  Typically, apartment projects receive additional revenue from sources such as laundry income, vending, application fees, late fees, bad check charges, and deposit forfeitures. Other income receipts at the subject property have ranged from $597 to $809 per unit, or 5.3% to 9.5% of the gross rent potential in 2008 and 2009. It is budgeted at $959 per unit or 9.5% of the gross rent potential in 2010. Other income is projected at $800 per unit or 8.0% of the gross potential income for the appraised fiscal year based on historical and budgeted collections.
 
   
OPERATING EXPENSES
  In order to estimate expenses for the subject property, we have analyzed the subject’s operating expenses for Year End 2007 through Year End 2009 as well as the 2010 Budget. Expenses for similar apartment properties in the Duval County area and Florida region were also reviewed and considered. The subject’s operating statements under review have been reconstructed and summarized in the following chart.

Overview
  All of the expenses have fluctuated during the past couple of years. In general, expenses are consistent with market data and reflect stabilized operations. No major changes in operations are expected or appear to be required. Expenses are expected to grow at the average annual inflation rate. Each of the expense items is discussed separately below.
 
   
Payroll
  This expense includes payroll and benefits for the property manager, leasing agent(s), housekeeping, and maintenance personnel. The payroll expense at the subject property has ranged from $1,319 to $1,489 per unit over the past few reporting periods and budgeted at $1,294 per unit. Based on the subject’s historical and budgeted expense data, a salary and benefits expense of $1,300 per unit, or $1,175,200, is forecast for the appraised fiscal year.
 
   
Utilities
  This expense line item includes charges for common area and vacant unit electricity, gas, water/sewer and trash collection. Utility charges are offset by applicable tenant reimbursements. At the subject property, tenants reimburse the landlord for water and sewer. The utility expenses at the subject property have ranged from $561 to $679 per unit over the past three years. An amount of $600 per unit is projected, similar to the 2010 budgeted amount of $599 per unit. The total projected amount equates to $542,400 for the appraised fiscal year.
 
   
Repairs & Maintenance
  This expense line item includes charges for contract services, makeready/turnover, maintenance supplies and general maintenance and repairs. The property appears adequately maintained with no noticeable items of deferred maintenance observed during the walk-thru. The condition of the property suggests that the property is receiving an adequate level of maintenance.
 
   
 
  The maintenance and repair expense at the subject property has ranged from $1,523 to $2,700 per unit over the past few years. An amount equivalent to $1,591 per unit is budgeted in 2010. In comparison to maintenance and repairs expenses reported by similar properties in the region, the subject’s expenditure is on the high side of the market norm. In consideration of the subject’s historical expenditures and market data, the repair/maintenance expense is estimated at $1,200 per unit or $1,084,800. We include a separate Reserves category in the projection.
 
   
Marketing
  This expense includes advertising, the cost of resident and locator referrals, internal leasing commissions, brochures, newsletters and resident activities. The historical marketing charges at the subject property exhibit a decreasing trend from 2007 through 2009. The 2007, 2008 and 2009 marketing expenses were $445, $392 and $225 per unit, respectively. An amount equivalent to $206 per unit is budgeted for 2010. Based on historical data, marketing expenses are projected at $250 per unit or $226,000.
 
   
Administration/Office
  This category includes administrative charges and costs associated with the running of the management/leasing office including telephone service, office supplies, equipment rental, computers, etc. The

  administrative expenses at the subject property have ranged from $288 to $386 per unit. The amount budgeted for 2010 equates to $246 per unit. An amount of $250 per unit is processed for the appraised fiscal year. This equates to a total of $226,000.
 
   
Real Estate Taxes
  Real estate taxes are processed as discussed within the Real Estate Assessment and Tax Analysis section of this appraisal. The real estate tax projection is $800,000.
 
   
Insurance
  Insurance includes fire, liability, theft, and boiler, exclusive of the premiums paid to employee benefit plans. The insurance expenses at the subject property have decreased from a high of $994 per unit in 2007 to $548 per unit in 2009. An amount equivalent to $547 per unit is budgeted for 2010. Insurance expenses are projected at $550 per unit or $497,200 bases the most recent historical figures.
 
   
Management Fee
  In the local market management services are typically a function of the revenues produced by the property, usually between 2.0% and 5.0% of collections. In consideration of the market standards and competitive nature of third-party management contracts at this time, we have processed a market-oriented management fee of 3.0% of the effective gross income.
 
   
Reserves
  Prudent management budgets a certain amount each year in a sinking fund to replace short-lived items, including kitchen appliances and cabinets, bathroom fixtures and tiling, flooring repairs, HVAC replacement and common elements such as the roof, exterior wood and parking areas. Reserves for replacement, while typically not found in submitted operating statements, are necessary in estimating a realistic operating budget so as to maintain the habitability of the apartments.
 
   
 
  Reserves for replacement for a property of this vintage typically range from $200 to $350 per unit. In order to remain competitive, a reserve allowance of $300 per unit is forecast. This amounts to $271,200 per year.
 
   
Total Expenses
  On a stabilized basis, the subject’s projected expenses including reserves are projected at $5,112,019, or $5,655 per unit. The indicated operating expense ratio is 53% when including reserves and 50% without reserves. These expenses are reasonable based on similar properties in the region as reported by the IREM expense survey, our review of actual operating statistics for similar properties in the Duval County area and discussions with local apartment brokers and managers. The total expenses estimated for the subject are market oriented and reasonable.

Cap Rate   7.8%   7.9%   7.2%   7.5%   10.3%
     
 
  The sales transactions are relatively recent and the capitalization rates produced by these sales are indicative of current market conditions. The sale properties are all garden-style apartments like the subject property and situated in similar alternative locations in Duval County. The sale properties were built between 1973 and 2002 and reported to be in average to good condition at the time of sale.
 
   
 
  As a result of the subject’s date of construction in comparison to the construction dates of the sale properties, a capitalization rate aligned with the higher end of the range of rates illustrated by the comparable data is considered reasonable. Given the predominate rage of rates of 7.2% to 7.9%, a capitalization rate of approximately 8.0% would be considered reasonable for the subject property. A capitalization rate of 8.0% is concluded from a review of market data.

VALUE BY DIRECT CAPITALIZATION
Stabilized Cash Flow
  The stabilized cash flow is based on the previous income and expense discussion. The net operating income is estimated at $4,528,629 for the appraised fiscal year.
 
   
Valuation
  Value is calculated by dividing the stabilized net operating income (including an allowance for Reserves) by the concluded overall capitalization rate. Thus market value is calculated as follows:
                   
Net Operating Income       OAR       Indicated Value  
$4,528,629   ÷   8.0%   =   $56,607,863  
                   
Rounded               $56,600,000  
     
Conclusion
  The Market Value of the Fee Simple Interest in the subject property, free and clear of financing, by the Direct Capitalization method of the Income Capitalization Approach, as of March 22. 2010, is rounded to:
FIFTY-SIX MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($56,600,000)

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
     
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
 
The basic steps in processing the sales comparison approach are outlined as follows:
     
 
 
1.    Research the market for recent sales transactions, listings, and offers to purchase or sell of properties similar to the subject property.
     
 
 
2.    Select a relevant unit of comparison and develop a comparative analysis.
     
 
 
3.    Compare comparable sale properties with the subject property using the elements of comparison and adjust the price of each comparable to the subject property.
     
 
 
4.    Reconcile the various value indications produced by the analysis of the comparables.
 
   
REGIONAL SALES
MARKET
 
The local market has been active in terms of investment sales of similar properties. Adequate sales exist to formulate a defensible value for the subject property via sales comparison.
 
   
PRESENTATION OF
COMPARABLE SALES
 
To estimate the property value by the sales comparison approach, we analyzed sales from the influencing market that are most similar to the subject property in terms of age, size, tenant profile and location. The sales are compared on a price-per-unit basis, as this is a common method of comparison for such properties.
 
   
 
  The comparable sales summarized in the chart below and plotted on the following map, range in price from $34,231 to $95,035 per unit. While these unit prices implicitly contain both the physical and economic factors affecting real estate, these statistics do not explicitly convey many of the details surrounding a specific property. Thus, this single index to the valuation of the subject property has some limitations.

ANALYSIS OF SALES
  The comparables are examined by considering the following adjustment factors.
 
   
Ownership Interest
  No adjustments are necessary, since all of the sales reflect a 100% transfer of ownership interest.
 
   
Financing Terms
  The comparable sales were either all cash transactions or were financed by primary lenders at market-oriented rates. Considerate of such, no adjustments for any unusual or atypical financing is required.
 
   
Conditions of Sale
  Adjustments for conditions of sale usually reflect the motivations of the buyer and the seller. We are not aware of any atypical circumstances regarding any of the comparable sales. Personal property is included as all facilities have similar unit appliance requirements and miscellaneous office and common area FF&E.
 
   
Expenditures Made Immediately
After Sale
 
Any required major capital costs incurred by the buyer immediately after the sale is appropriately added to the purchase price. None of the sales required any specific sale price adjustment other than what is included in general comparisons based on condition.
 
   
Market Conditions (Time)
  Comparable sales that occurred under different market conditions than those applicable to the subject property as of the effective date of appraisal require adjustment for any differences that affect their values. The sales occurred between August 2009 and March 2010.
 
   
 
  Market conditions began to deteriorate in approximately mid-year 2008 in response to weakness that was becoming pronounced in the regional and national economies. Market fundamentals remain soft at this time however beginning at approximately the 3rd quarter 2009 the general trend of deterioration appears to have moderated. Given the recent nature of the sale transactions, no adjustment for time is warranted.
 
   
Location
  The location of the subject property is rated as being generally similar to the alternative location of Sale #4. As such, no adjustment for location is warranted for this sale. Sales #1, #2 and #5 are situated in locations rated as being inferior to the subject’s and were adjusted upward for this factor. Sales #3 is situated in a desirable central location characterized by new development and is rated as being superior to the subject’s location. As such, this sale was adjusted downward for location.
 
   
Physical Characteristics
  Physical differences include differences in building size, quality of construction, building materials, age, condition, functional utility and appearance. Sales #1 and #4 were built in 1985 and 1989 and are rated as being superior to the subject in terms age and overall physical characteristics. Sales #2 and #3 were built in 2007 and 2002 and are also rated as being superior to the subject in terms age and overall physical characteristics but to a greater degree. As such, these sales were adjusted downward to account for its superior age and overall condition at time of sale in comparison to the subject property. Sale #5, built in 1973, is rated

  as being inferior to the subject in terms of age and physical characteristics. As such, Sale #5 was adjusted upward for this factor.
 
   
Average Unit Size
  The subject has an average unit size of 1,199 square feet. Properties with larger average unit sizes tend to trade at higher prices, all other factors being equal. Conversely, properties with smaller average unit sizes tend to trade at a lower price per unit. The average unit size of each comparable property is compared to the subject and applicable adjustments are applied when warranted.
 
   
Amenities
  With the exception of Sale #5, the subject offers an amenity package that is typical for a suburban garden style apartment projects which are generally similar to each of the comparable properties. No adjustment is warranted to Sales #s 1-4. Sales #5 was adjusted upward for it inferior amenities.
 
   
Economic Characteristics
  Economic characteristics include all the attributes of a property that affect its income. Sales #3, #4 and #5 were operating at stabilized occupancy and were generally at market rates. No adjustments were to these sales for this factor. Sales #1 and #2 were approximately 80% and 72% occupied at time of sale. As such, Sales #1 and #2 were adjusted upward accordingly for having inferior economic characteristics.

VALUE CONCLUSION
  After analysis and adjustments, a value range of $58,193 to $61,034 per unit is indicated. The mean and median adjusted sales prices equate to $59,933 and $61,114 per unit. A value of $60,000 per unit is concluded.
                 
Number                
of Units       Price per Unit       Indicated Value
904   x   $60,000   =   $54,240,000
                 
Rounded               $54,200,000
     
 
  Applying the stabilized value to the stabilized Effective Gross Income derived for the property within the Capitalization Approach section, results in an indicated EGIM of approximately 5.6 on a stabilized basis. This indicated EGIM is aligned toward the middle of the range exhibited by the most recent transactions (4.2x to 7.7x with an average of 6.0x). This is considered reasonable. This indicator suggests that the value concluded for the property via comparative analysis is reasonable based on the subject property’s income-producing characteristics.
 
   
 
  Accordingly, the Market Value of the Fee Simple Interest in the subject property as of April 27, 2010, free and clear of financing, via the Sales Comparison Approach, is rounded to:
FIFTY-FOUR MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($54,200,000)

RECONCILIATION AND FINAL ESTIMATE OF VALUE
     
Review
  The purpose of this appraisal is to provide an estimate of the market value of the Fee Simple interest in the subject property, free and clear of financing. The date of value is December 31, 2009. The indicated market value estimates for the real property interest appraised are:
         
Cost Approach
    N/A  
Income Capitalization Approach
  $ 56,600,000  
Sales Comparison Approach
  $ 54,200,000  
     
Cost Approach
  The cost approach value estimate relies on the cost to produce a like structure. The cost approach is not usually considered a reliable value indicator due to the fact that investors in the market area place minimal reliance on this approach because of the age of the property. The cost approach was not considered meaningful in the valuation of the subject property and was not included in the appraisal process.
 
   
Income Approach
  The Income Capitalization Approach was processed. The subject is an income-producing property, and this approach provides good evidence of market value. As the subject represents a stabilized occupancy, the Direct Capitalization method was employed. Based on the applicable analytical methods of the most likely investors in an asset of this type, this approach was given greatest consideration in the final conclusion of market value.
 
   
Sales Approach
  This approach provides an estimate of value based upon the recent activities of buyers and sellers in the marketplace. This approach is generally considered to be reliable in active markets where the motivations of buyers and sellers are known and the operating characteristics of the properties being transferred are available for scrutiny. Although sales volume is down significantly from historical levels as a result of current market conditions, our market research revealed several sales of properties that are considered relatively comparable to the subject property. The value conclusion derived via this approach is supportive of that concluded via the Income Approach.
 
   
Conclusions
  Based upon the data, analyses and conclusions contained within this appraisal report with primary emphasis placed on the value derived within the Income Capitalization Approach, the Market Value of the Fee Simple Interest in the subject property, free and clear of mortgage financing, as of April 27, 2010 is:
 
   
FIFTY-SIX MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
