Dear Ms. Cohn:

In accordance with your request and our written agreement, Cogent Realty Advisors LLC (“Cogent”) has appraised the above referenced subject property (the “Property”). The purpose of this assignment is to estimate the market value of the fee simple interest of the Property as of January 18, 2013 and update the results of a prior appraisal of the Property that was completed by this firm. The effective date of value of the previously prepared appraisal was October 24, 2012 and its results were communicated in a Self-contained Appraisal Report dated October 31, 2012 (the “Prior Report”), a copy of which you retain on file.

This appraisal report addresses changes that have occurred subsequent to the date the Prior Report was prepared. The scope of this update appraisal assignment included the collection, confirmation and analysis of market and property specific data relevant to the appraisal of the Property. The appraisal process included a reexamination of the Property’s operating history and investment characteristics; investigation and evaluation of the market and competitive environment; consideration of investment criteria for and marketability of apartment properties; and utilization of appropriate appraisal methodology to conclude to a final estimate of market value.

The Property and its environs were last inspected by the appraiser in conjunction with the preparation of the Prior Report. The Property was not reinspected for purposes of this assignment and unless otherwise reported herein, it is specifically assumed that the physical condition of the Property and neighborhood conditions and composition have not changed materially since last inspected and are similar to that reported in the Prior Report.

The Income Capitalization and Sales Comparison Approaches were employed in the valuation of the Property. The Addenda attached to this letter contains an overview of the current market data considered in the appraisal and valuation process. Additional details and analyses not presented herein but utilized in satisfying the purpose of the appraisal may be available in the Prior Report.

9. It is assumed that the property conforms to all applicable zoning and use regulations and restrictions unless a nonconformity has been identified, described, and considered in the appraisal report.

 

10. It is assumed that all required licenses, certificates of occupancy, consents, and 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.

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.

 

18. All values rendered within this report assume an exposure and marketing period of up to 12 months has occurred prior to the effective date of value.

APARTMENT MARKET OVERVIEW

INTRODUCTION: The following apartment market analysis is designed to provide the reader an understanding of the national, regional and local apartment markets within which the subject property competes. The sources of data available to the appraisers were the Marcus & Millichap “Apartment Research Market Report, Fourth Quarter 2012 – Atlanta Metro Area”, Hendricks and Partners “Apartment Update – Atlanta” (3rd Quarter 2012) and “PWC Real Estate Investor Survey Fourth Quarter 2012” published by Price Waterhouse Coopers.

NATIONAL APARTMENT MARKET: The National Apartment Market remains planted in the expansion phase of the real estate cycle; characterized by strong demand, robust rent growth and new construction. Due to the strong performance in this asset class, many investors are still looking to place capital into the apartment sector. Sales activity is approaching levels realized in 2007 prior to the national economic downturn that resulted in the Great Recession. As a result of the currently strong market fundamentals and brisk pace of sales volume, overall capitalization rates have fallen to levels not realized since 2007. After peaking in late 2009/early 2010 and steadily trending down to the current level, capitalization rates have remained relatively steady over the past couple of quarters suggesting that pricing may have reached a peak.

ATLANTA APARTMENT MARKET: Atlanta is one of the top cities for job growth and the population is rising at one of the fastest paces in the country, sustaining high demand for rental housing. Last year, an average of 200 residents per day moved into the area, and nearly 21 percent of the entire metro population falls within the prime renter cohort, which features those aged between 20 and 34 years old. Uncertainty in the housing market is driving up the age of the first-time homebuyer. As many young adults form rental households in lieu of ownership, they will likely choose to live in modern, luxury apartments near entertainment and business districts. Meanwhile, in the single-family market, permitting activity remains well below prerecession levels and sales of existing single-family homes are just 57 percent of peaks reached before the recession, confirming that many of these new residents are looking for rentals. Furthermore, while lending standards for single family homes remain relatively strict, demand for rental housing will remain high. Apartment construction is at an all-time low this year, and demand for units will outpace new supply. As a result, vacancy will fall to the lowest point in over a decade, allowing operators to boost rents and match prerecession peaks.

Improved market fundamentals are encouraging investors to act on area properties put up for sale. Institutional-grade buyers remain interested in the area and the increasing number out-of-state investors contributed to an enlarged buyer pool. Compressed prices, compared with the nation, and easier access to financing due to advancing property operations, are bringing many investors off the sidelines to buy stabilized properties with cap rates starting in the mid-six percent range. There are still many opportunistic investors chasing value-add deals as banks unload reclaimed assets, though inventory of these property types is shrinking as we head into the next year. Institutional-grade buyers will continue seeking properties in Atlanta, and these assets are selling with cap rates averaging in the mid-five percent range.

As of third quarter 2012 the metro vacancy averaged 7.1% and with strong demand and slowed construction, vacancy is anticipated to end the year at 6.8%. Vacancy for Class A units dipped to 5.1%, its lowest point in over a decade. As vacancy pushed to a new low, operators have been able to push rents upward. The average asking rent increased to $853 per month, inching close to the peaks reached before the recession. The increase in demand has resulted in an increased effective rent average of $773 per month, with concessions decreasing to an average of 34 days free rent. Class A units are driving the overall rent growth where rents grew by 1.3% in the last year to $970 per month. By year end, the average asking rent for all classes is anticipated to reach $859 per month and effective rents pushing up to $780 per month, 2.5% and 3.4% hikes from the end of 2011.

APARTMENT MARKET OVERVIEW (Continued)

 

LOCAL MARKET OVERVIEW: The subject property is situated within the Vinings, an unincorporated town just southwest of the Perimeter (I-285) in Cobb County. According to published information, a cluster of in excess of 8,000 apartment units are found in or in close proximity to the Vinings. The Vinings area has historically outperformed the Atlanta metro in terms of average occupancy and rent. Through the first part of 2012, the average occupancy at area apartments hovered in the 95% to 96% range and annual rent growth was reported to be in excess of 9%, compared to the 2 to 3% rate of growth for metro Atlanta.

According to the Marcus and Millichap 4th Quarter Apartment Research Report, the Vinings is situated within their broader defined Smyrna apartment submarket. According to this report, the average occupancy within the Smyrna submarket is the second strongest in Atlanta (behind the Cherokee County submarket) at 4.4%, a 140 basis point year-over-year decline.

Information ascertained by the appraisers on 11 competing apartment properties with a total of 4,272 dwelling units within a 1.5 mile radius of the subject property, built between 1980 and 2000, indicates that occupancy levels range from 94% to 97% at average effective rents ranging from $845 to $1,374 per month and $0.76 to $1.23 per square foot. The average occupancy for the data set equates to 95% at an average effective rent of $1,002 per month and $1.02 per square foot.

CONCLUSION: Occupancy levels are on a moderate upward trend that has resulted in firming rent rates. As new supply entering the market is limited and demand and employment fundamentals remain positive, occupancy should remain stable with moderate increases in rent levels forecasted into the foreseeable future. Investment sales transaction velocity remains good and investor interest in the area is strong.

INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION: The Income Capitalization Approach is based on the theory that value is the present worth of future benefits. The future benefits of ownership consist of the present worth of the net income which will accrue to the owner of the property, plus the present worth of the net proceeds resulting from the eventual disposition of the property. The two most commonly used techniques of converting net income into value in the Income Capitalization Approach are Direct Capitalization and Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.

DIRECT CAPITALIZATION: We have utilized the Direct Capitalization method in the valuation of the subject property. Direct Capitalization is a method utilized to convert a single year’s estimate of net income (before debt service) into an indication of value by the use of an Overall Capitalization Rate. The basic steps in processing the Income Capitalization Approach by the Direct Capitalization method are:

 

(1) Potential Gross Income that a competent owner could legally generate is calculated.

 

(2) Vacancy and Credit Loss factor is estimated and deducted to arrive at Effective Gross Income.

 

(3) Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes are estimated and deducted to arrive at the stabilized Net Operating Income.

 

(4) Overall Capitalization Rate is developed.

 

(5) Value is calculated by dividing the Net Operating Income by the Overall Capitalization Rate.

INCOME ANALYSIS: The following chart illustrates the Property’s quoted rents by floor plan. The subject’s quoted rent structure has been compared to the rents achieved at competing properties in the immediate area and found to be within the comparable range of rents. The subject is expected to continue to capture its fair share of the market at the indicated economic rates outlined below.

DERIVATION OF GROSS RENT POTENTIAL

A review of the subject’s January 2013 rent roll indicates that recent leases have been executed at rents within a tolerable variance of the noted economic amounts however the actual rents in place are approximately 1.8% below the total economic rent as calculated above. The estimated economic or quoted rent structure estimated above will be offset by 1.5% loss to lease allowance to account for the variance between the estimated economic rents and rents in place.

According to the January 2013 rent roll, the Property is 94.3% occupied and 97.5% leased. Historical operating statements under review indicate that the subject’s annual average occupancy has ranged from 95.3% to 97% over the past three years. The subject’s historical occupancy level is generally consistent with occupancy levels reported by competitors in the area. Given the Property’s current and historical occupancy levels, a combined vacancy and collection loss allowance of 4% is projected for the appraised fiscal year.

CAPITALIZATION RATE ANALYSIS: This appraisal will consider the following techniques; (a) derivation from comparable sales and (b) investor surveys.

Derivation from Sales: The recent comparable sales utilized in the Sales Comparison Approach following this section indicate a range of overall capitalization rates of 5.4% to 6.0%. The capitalization rates from these sales are summarized in the following table.

SUMMARY OF MARKET-DERIVED CAPITALIZATION RATES

 

Property    Century Perimeter Park     Stonewood at Vinings     St. Andrews Apartments     Chastain Terrace     Heights of Barrett Lakes  

Date of Sale

     10/12/2012        8/31/2012        6/11/2012        4/25/2012        10/28/2011

Cap Rate

     5.9     5.8     5.4     5.6     6.0

Each of the sale properties are considered generally similar to the Property in terms of location and physical characteristics. Review of recent sales data indicates that there has been no material change in capitalization rates between the date the Prior Report was prepared and the present. Based on recent sales data, a market-derived capitalization rate in the range of approximately 5.5% to 6.0% is considered reasonable for the Property.

Investor Surveys: According to the PricewaterhouseCoopers Real Estate Investor Survey, 4th Quarter 2012 rates for apartments reported by survey participants active in the National and Southeast Regional markets presently range as shown.

In addition to the above figures derived from the PricewaterhouseCoopers Real Estate Investor Survey, the appraisers reviewed information ascertained from the CBRE Cap Rate Survey, August 2012 publication. According to the CBRE publication, capitalization rates range from approximately 5.25% to 5.75% for stabilized Class A suburban apartments and from approximately 5.75% to 6.25% for stabilized Class B suburban apartments. The rates ascertained from both the PWC and CBRE publications tend to mirror rates produced by actual sales data in the local market.

Conclusion of OAR: An OAR in the range of approximately 5.5% to 6.0% was suggested from a review of actual sales data. The PWC Investor survey indicates that capitalization rates in the National and Southeast Apartment Markets average 5.72% and 5.94%. The CBRE Cap Rate Survey indicates that capitalization rates for Class A properties range from approximately 5.25% to 5.75% and for Class B properties range from approximately 5.75% to 6.25%. In consideration of the preceding data, with primary emphasis placed on the rates extracted from sales data in the local market and confirmed by investor survey data, a rate of approximately 5.75% is suggested and concluded for the subject property.

VALUATION: Value is derived by capitalizing the net operating income estimate by an appropriate overall or capitalization rate. Market data suggests that an appropriate capitalization rate is approximately 5.75%. The net operating income calculated above is capitalized into a market value indication as follows:

 

Net Operating Income

       

Capitalization Rate

       

Indicated Value

$2,011,661

   ÷    5.75%    =    $34,985,409

CONCLUSION: The Market Value of the Fee Simple Interest of the Property, as of January 18, 2013, by application of the Income Capitalization Approach, is rounded to:

THIRTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS

($35,000,000)

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION: 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 a willing seller would sell the subject property to a willing buyer as of the date of value.

To estimate the property value by the Sales Comparison Approach, sales of similar properties have been examined and analyzed. The price per dwelling 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 financing terms, market conditions that prevailed at the time of sale, conditions of sale, location, and physical characteristics of the property such as size, age and condition of the structure, and functional utility.

PRESENTATION OF SALES DATA: Research conducted in the local market indicates that sales activity continues to occur and there is adequate investor interest in good quality, well located assets that are being marketed for sale. Sufficient sales data was available to formulate a defensible value for the Property via comparative analysis. The data summarized in the table below is utilized as the basis in which to estimate the market of the subject property via the Sales Comparison Approach.

RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE CONCLUSION

REVIEW: The purpose of this appraisal is to provide an estimate of Market Value of the Peak at Vinings Mountain Apartments. The indicated Market Value estimates for the real property interest appraised are:

 

The Income Capitalization Approach

   $ 35,000,000   

The Sales Comparison Approach

   $ 35,000,000   

The Cost Approach

     Not Applicable   

INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH: The Income Capitalization Approach seeks to view the subject property’s value from the perspective of the typical investor. This approach reflects the relationship between the income a property is capable of generating and its value in the marketplace. Typical investors judge the value of a property based upon the quality and quantity of the income generated, as well as the likely impact of market conditions on future income generation. The Income Capitalization Approach, by considering these factors provides a highly meaningful measure of credibility for this property type.

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH: In the Sales Comparison Approach, sales of similar apartment buildings were compared to the subject property based on their location, physical and investment characteristics. The Sales Comparison Approach is utilized as a means of support to the value conclusion rendered for the Property via the Income Capitalization Approach.

COST APPROACH: The Cost Approach value estimate relies on the cost to produce a like structure. 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 and has been excluded from analysis.

MARKET VALUE CONCLUSION: With primary emphasis placed on the value indicator produced by the Income Capitalization Approach, we are of the opinion that the Market Value of the Fee Simple Interest of the Peak at Vinings Mountain Apartments, free and clear of financing, as of January 18, 2013 is:

THIRTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS

($35,000,000)

The value estimate rendered assumes that an exposure and marketing period of up to 6 to 9 months has occurred.
