BASIC ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
This appraisal report is subject to the following assumptions and limiting conditions:
1.   No responsibility is assumed for the legal description or for matters including legal or title considerations. Title to the property is assumed to be good and marketable unless otherwise stated.
 
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 ASSUMPTION

KTR previously inspected the subject property in March 2011. The scope of work of this appraisal did not include a physical inspection of the subject property. The values derived herein are based on the extraordinary assumption that the physical condition of the subject property has not materially changed since the date of our last inspection. Should this assumption be incorrect, the values reported herein may be materially impacted.

Identification
  The subject property consists of the land and improvements at 8786 Cloudleap Court within the community of Columbia in Howard County, Maryland. The Howard County Assessor identifies the property as Tax Parcel Identification Number 16-101087. The property consists of a 9.53 acre site improved with 178-unit apartment complex known as Lazy Hollow Apartments.
 
   
Sales History of the Subject Property
  According to public records, the current owner of the subject property is Lazy Hollow Partners, who has owned the property since July 1989. We are not aware of any transfers of ownership within the three-year period prior to the effective date of value. It is our understanding that the subject property is not being listed for sale and we are not aware of any contracts of sale pending as of the date this report was prepared.
 
   
Purpose and Scope of the Appraisal
  The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the market value of the subject property as of the date of value. It is the intent of the appraisers that the analysis, opinions and conclusions of this report be considered an unbiased, objective investigation performed by a disinterested third party with complete objectivity as to the outcome of the analysis.
 
   
 
  According to the Appraisal Institute’s Code of Professional Ethics and Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, the scope of the appraisal is cited as “the extent of the process of collecting, confirming, and reporting data” included in an appraisal report. All appropriate data deemed pertinent to the solution of the appraisal problem has been collected and confirmed. In our appraisal of the subject property, we have:
 
   
 
 
1. KTR previously inspected the subject property in March 2011. The scope of work of this appraisal did not include a physical inspection of the subject property.
 
 
 
2. Reviewed demographic and other socioeconomic trends pertaining to the city and region.
 
 
 
3. Examined regional apartment market conditions, with special emphasis on the subject property’s apartment submarket.
 
 
 
4. Investigated lease and sale transactions involving comparable properties in the influencing market.
 
 
 
5. Reviewed the existing rent roll and discussed the leasing status with the building manager and leasing agent. In addition, we have reviewed the subject property’s recent operating history and those of competing properties.
 
 
 
6. Utilized appropriate appraisal methodology to derive estimates of value.
 
 
 
7. Reconciled the estimates of value into a single value conclusion.

Definition of Market Value
  The definition of Market Value used in this appraisal report is taken from the Appraisal Institute’s The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Fifth Edition, Chicago, Illinois, Appraisal Institute, 2010, which states:
 
   
 
  “The most probable price that a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sales, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
 
   
 
 
1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
     
 
 
2. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their best interests;
     
 
 
3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
     
 
 
4. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and
     
 
 
5. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.”
 
   
Property Rights Appraised
  The interest being appraised is the Leased Fee Interest. Leased Fee Interest is defined in The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Fifth Edition, Chicago, Illinois, Appraisal Institute, 2010, as:
 
   
 
  An ownership interest where the possessory interest has been granted to another party by creation of a contractual landlord tenant relationship, i.e. a lease. The rights of the lessor (the leased fee owner) and the leased fee are specified by contract terms contained within the lease.
 
   
Intended Use and
   
Intended User

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. 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.

Lazy Hollow Apartments   June 3, 2011

Exposure Time
  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, Fifth Edition, Chicago, Illinois, Appraisal Institute, 2010, as:
 
   
 
  “ 1.The time a property remains on the market.
 
   
 
  2.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, conventional sources of capital is somewhat limited and mortgage underwriting has remained conservative with a greater level of equity required to obtain financing in comparison to the period leading up to September 2008. These factors have impacted sales activity for most types of investment grade 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 PwC Real Estate Investor Survey First Quarter 2011, which indicates that marketing times for apartment properties in the national market range from none to 18 months. The average marketing time equates to 6.00 months, down from 8.06 months reported one year ago. 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.

Conclusion
  The national and Mid-Atlantic economy remains fixed in the midst of a recession which began in 2008. Significant job losses have resulted in a national unemployment rate over 9%. Real estate values took a significant hit in the Fourth Quarter of 2008 and remaining mired in this state until 2010. Recent improvements in several sectors of the market, including multi-family housing, have resulted in investor optimism.
 
   
 
  With regard to the current state of the national economy, the April 13, 2011 edition of the Federal Reserve Beige Book reported the following:
 
   
 
  “Reports from the twelve Federal Reserve Districts indicated that economic activity generally continued to improve since the last report. While many Districts described the improvements as only moderate, most Districts stated that gains were widespread across sectors. Manufacturing continued to lead, with virtually every District citing examples of steady improvement, often with reports of increased hiring. Business services, including freight-related activities, improved in most Districts. Loan demand was either unchanged or up slightly in most Districts. Residential and commercial real estate performance varied across Districts. Seven of the Districts described commercial real estate as slightly improved, while five noted that their markets were flat. While most Districts noted little change in their residential real estate markets, half of the Districts cited at least pockets of weakening.”
 
   
 
  Based on these conditions, the investor market remains cautiously optimistic about some segments of the real estate market. Declining

  NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSIS
 
   
Overview
  The subject property is located in the village of Long Reach in the community of Columbia in Howard County, Maryland. Columbia is located 21 miles southeast of Baltimore City and 28 miles northwest of Washington D.C. Columbia is a planned community that is the most populous place in Maryland. The community consists of ten self- contained villages. Creator and developer James W. Rouse saw the new community in terms of human values, not just in terms of economics and engineering, but with the idea that a city could enhance its residents’ quality of life. Columbia was designed to eliminate the inconveniences of then-current subdivision design, but equally or more importantly it was designed with the ideas of eliminating racial, religious, and income segregation. Columbia opened in 1967.

  ZONING ANALYSIS
 
   
Introduction
  According to the current Howard County zoning map, the subject property is situated in an NT (New Town) District which is identified as an unincorporated city, town or village. NT Districts are planned districts and before development can begin Final Development Plans must be approved by the Planning Board. The county zoning regulations provide general guidelines for NT Districts; however, the Board can, and frequently does, override the general guidelines. There are currently 226 NT Districts, each with their own Final Development Plan.
 
   
NT Zoning Regulations
  Howard County Zoning Regulations dated August 2007 and updated April 6, 2010, state that NT Districts are designated and planned as an economically and culturally self-sufficient community and must contain at least 20,000 inhabitants and comprise a total area of at least 2,500 contiguous acres. Apartments may constitute no more than 13% of the total area of the district. As per the Zoning Regulations, NT District must provide each of the following uses in the following proportions:

    N/A       15 %
 
Source: Howard County Zoning Regulations, August 2007; updated April 6, 2010.
     
 
  Setbacks and height restrictions for NT Districts are not defined in Howard County Zoning Regulations. These restrictions are designated within the Final Development Plans for each individual NT District.
 
   
Density
  Howard County Zoning Regulations state the following with regard to apartment unit density:
 
   
 
  “In areas designated “Apartments” on the Final Development Plan the maximum number of apartments permitted shall relate to the overall total number of apartments in all areas so designated within the NT District and shall be calculated by multiplying the number of acres within all areas so designated by 15.”
 
   
 
  The Howard County Department of Zoning and Planning confirmed what the above states; that the maximum density of 15 units per acre can not be analyzed with consideration of a single site alone, but must be

  calculated with consideration to the aggregate of all site acreage designated as “Apartments” within an NT District. As such, a density specific to the subject property can not be fully evaluated. It should be noted, however, that the subject property s built to a density of 18.7 units per acre, in excess of this guideline. As such, it is uncertain whether or not the subject property could be rebuilt to its existing density under current zoning.
 
   
Parking Requirements
  Parking requirements for apartments in NT Districts is (2) spaces per dwelling unit. The subject property contains 178 units. Thus, a minimum number of 356 parking spaces are required. The subject contains 298 parking spaces. However, the number of parking spaces is ultimately determined by the Final Development Plan specific to each NT District.
 
   
Conclusions
  The subject is located in a NT (New Town) zoning district. Each NT District has their own Final Development Plan which must be approved by the Howard County Planning Board prior to development. Final Development Plans supersede any established zoning regulations. As the subject property was constructed in 1979 and is located in an NT District, it predates the current zoning and is assumed to represent a legal and conforming use with a legal and non-complying density and parking. Any non-compliance is assumed to be legal based on “grandfathered” status.

Tax Rate
  The tax rate in Howard County for the 2009/10 and 2010/11 tax years has remained the same, that of 1.3415%. The tax rate for the 2008/09 tax year was slightly higher, that of 1.3554%. The tax rate for the 2011/12 tax year will be published in June 2011 and, as such, the 2010/11 tax rate has been processed for the 2011/12 tax year in the analysis. Likewise, the Columbia Association tax for the 2011/12 tax year will not be published until July 2011 and, as such, the 2010/11 tax rate has been applied in projecting 2011/12 Columbia Association taxes.
 
   
Real Estate Tax Projection
  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. The total amount is anticipated to increase at a rate near the long-term average inflation rate
 
   
Tax Calculation
  The subject’s real estate tax liability over the next 12 months is calculated by applying the 2010/11 taxes from March through June 2011 and the 2011/12 taxes from July 2011 through February 2012; equating to a total tax liability for the appraised fiscal year of $223,979.

                      HIGHEST AND BEST USE
 
   
Introduction
  Highest and Best Use is defined by the Appraisal Institute in The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Fifth Edition, Chicago, Illinois, Appraisal Institute, 2010, which states:

That 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 productivity.

There are typically two Highest and Best Use scenarios: the Highest and Best Use of the property as vacant and the Highest and Best Use of the site as if improved.
 
   
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.”

The site is zoned within the NT (New Town) District. NT Districts are designated and planned as an economically and culturally self-sufficient communities and must contain at least 20,000 inhabitants and comprise a total area of at least 2,500 contiguous acres. Before development can begin in an NT District, Final Development Plans must be approved by the Planning Board. As the subject site planned use was for multifamily in the final Development Plans the highest and best use of the property, if vacant, is residential 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”.

The subject represents a legal, conforming improvement relative to current zoning restrictions. It is uncertain whether it could be reconstructed to its existing density under current zoning. No redevelopment of the site would provide a greater return to the land. Based upon the fact that the potential income associated with the existing improvements provide a fair return to the land with residual income to the improvements, the highest and best use of the subject, as improved, is its current 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.
 
   
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 has decreased as a result of market conditions, research revealed adequate sales activity to form a reasonable estimation of value via this approach.

The 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.
 
   
 
  The subject property is a 178 garden apartment complex constructed in 1979. Due to the nature of the subject zoning, if is unclear if the subject could be constructed today. This factor impacts the reliability of the Cost Approach. Furthermore, typical investors in older, stabilized garden apartments do not give significant weight to the Cost Approach. Accordingly, the Cost Approach would lend little insight into the market value of the subject property and has been excluded.
 
   
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. 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
 
   
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 value 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 the Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.

The Direct Capitalization method is considered most relevant and has been processed. 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.
 
   
REVENUE ANALYSIS
   
Potential Gross Income
  As discussed in the Market Rent Analysis section of this report the potential gross income from the apartment unit rent is projected to be $236,285 per month or $2,835,420 for the appraised year.
 
   
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.

The operating statements under review indicate a historical loss to lease decreased from 2008 to 2010; that of 2.6%, 2.2% and 0.6%, respectively. The submitted April 28, 2011 rent roll indicated a loss to lease of approximately 3.5 percent. With consideration of the historic loss to lease and the projected market rent, a loss to lease of 2.5% has been processed.
 
   
Concessions
  Concessions consist of reduced rent or free rent over a portion of the lease term. Concessions within the subject’s influencing area are often given, though many properties reported giving no concessions and others only minimal concessions.

Property Operating Statements reported concessions of 1.2% for 2008, 1.5% for 2009 and 1.6% for 2010. Concessions were not included in the projected 2011 budget. As occupancy rates at the subject property have been increasing and have now reached 96.6%, the highest in three years, it can be expected that concessions will not increase over the 2009 and 2010 rate. It is therefore reasonable to process concessions at 1.5% for the appraised fiscal year.
 
   
Vacancy/Credit Loss
  As of June 2, 2011, the subject has a reported occupancy rate of 96.6%. Property Operating Statements reported a vacancy loss of 5.5% for 2008, 4.8% for 2009 and 4.4% for 2010. The projected 2011 vacancy loss is 4.1%, which includes bad debt credit loss of $9,148 or 0.35% of the budgeted Gross Potential Rent.

OVERVIEW OF COMPETITIVE OCCUPANCY LEVELS
                         
Name   Year Built     Total Units     Occupancy  
 
Columbia Landing
    1977       300       97 %
Tamar Meadows
    1998       178       97 %
 
The Berkshires
    1980       250       100 %
 
     
 
  The subject’s current high occupancy rate is supported by the high occupancy rates of competitive properties. The subject’s vacancy loss has been trending downward over the past few years and is projected to remain lower than that of 2008 and 2009. According to the PricewaterhouseCoopers Korpacz Real Estate Investor Survey, First Quarter 2011, the vacancy rate for the Suburban Maryland Apartment Market in 2010 was 4.9%. It is therefore a reasonable to assume that the subject should maintain this level into the foreseeable future. A stabilized vacancy and credit loss of 5.0 percent has been utilized in this appraisal.
 
   
Administrative Units
  The subject property contains 178 apartment units; however, one apartment unit is used as a management office, typical for an apartment building such as the subject. This is Unit 8211, which is a two-bedroom apartment containing 978 square feet. In the Apartment Market Analysis it was determined that market value for this unit is $1,365 monthly or $ 16,380 annually. This amount has been deducted from the pro forma for administrative use.
 
   
Other Income
  Typically, apartment projects receive additional revenue from sources such as vending, application fees, late fees, bad check charges and deposit forfeitures. The subject property’s other income includes trash, water and sewer and natural gas reimbursements. Other income receipts at the subject property were reported at $1,331, $1,432 and $1,485 per unit in 2008, 2009 and 2010. In 2011 this income is projected to be $1,461 per unit. As other income is based largely on occupancy, the budget appears reasonable and has been processed at the projected rate, that of $1,460 per unit (rounded).
 
   
OPERATING EXPENSES
  In order to estimate expenses for the subject property, we have analyzed the subject’s operating expenses for 2008, 2009 and 2010 as well as the budget for 2011. These historical and budgeted amounts have been compared to the median dollar amount per unit reported by IREM for garden apartments in the Baltimore Metropolitan Area both in aggregate and for those constructed between 1965 and 1979. The subject’s operating statements under review have been reconstructed and summarized in the following table.

Conclusion of OAR
  The subject is a good quality apartment complex situated in an established residential neighborhood with good access. The property is proximate to employment centers, shopping and neighborhood support facilities. The subject has unit sizes that reflect market parameters and an amenity package that is typical of the properties in the competitive market. The subject property has achieved a stabilized occupancy of 96.6 percent according to the February rent roll.
 
   
 
  An OAR ranging of 5.25 and 6.92 percent was indicated from comparable sales. The Korpacz survey indicates an average overall rate for the Mid- Atlantic Region of 6.623 percent and for the National Apartment Market of 6.529 percent. The National Apartment Market has illustrated declining capitalization rates for five consecutive quarters. The subject property is a better than average property, was constructed in 1979 and offers minimal amenities. The subject is well-maintained and in good condition, though the unit fixtures and appliances are of an older style. In consideration of the preceding data, a rate of 6.0 percent is concluded.
VALUE BY DIRECT CAPITALIZATION
     
Stabilized Cash Flow
  The stabilized cash flow is based on the previous income and expense discussion.
 
   
Valuation
  Value is calculated by dividing the stabilized net operating income (including an allowance for Reserves) by the concluded overall capitalization rate. Thus the market value of the leased fee interest is calculated as follows:
 
   
 
  $1,586,878 ÷ 6.0% = $26,447,967
 
   
Direct Capitalization Value Conclusion
  The Market Value of the Leased Fee Interest in the subject property, free and clear of financing, by the Direct Capitalization method of the Income Capitalization Approach, as of June 1, 2011, is rounded to:
 
   
 
  TWENTY SIX MILLION FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($26,400,000)

  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, comparable sales from the influencing market that are most similar to the subject property in terms of age, size, tenant profile and location have been analyzed. 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 table below and plotted on the following map, range in price from $120,047 to $151,079 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 The comparables are examined by considering the following adjustment factors.
 
   
Ownership Interest
  No adjustments are necessary, since all of the sales reflect a 100 percent 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. It is reported on Sale No. 3 that the buyer incurred significant capital expenditures after the sale. As such, this expense will be added to the purchase price. The other two sales do not require 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 comparable sales occurred between July and December 2010. Due to the recent timing of these sales, no adjustment for market conditions is necessary.
 
   
Location
  An adjustment for location is appropriate when the location characteristics of a comparable property are different from those of the subject. Adjustments have been made on an individual basis.
 
   
Physical Characteristics
  Physical differences include differences in building size, number of units, quality of construction, building materials, age, condition, functional utility and appearance. Adjustments to the comparables have been applied on an individual basis.
 
   
Average Unit Size
  The subject has an average unit size of 987 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.

VALUE CONCLUSION
  After analysis and adjustments, a value range of $139,286 to $147,168 per unit is indicated. Sales No. 1 and 2 are the most similar as they require the least net adjustments. They suggest a unit value between $140,000 and $144,000 per unit. Sale No. 1 is the only property in Columbia and has been given the greatest weight. Sale No. 3 is given the least weight as it required a condition of sale adjustment as well as a physical character adjustment to account for its larger size. With consideration of all the sales, it is reasonable to conclude to a unit value of $144,000 per unit. Accordingly, the market value via the Sales Comparable Approach is calculated as follows:
 
   
 
  178 units x $144,000 = $25,632,000
 
   
 
  Accordingly, the Market Value of the Leased Fee interest in the subject property as of June 1, 2011, free and clear of financing, via the Sales Comparison Approach, is rounded to:
 
   
 
  TWENTY FIVE MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
                                                   ($25,600,000)

  RECONCILIATION AND FINAL ESTIMATE OF VALUE
 
   
Review
  The purpose of this appraisal is to provide an estimate of the market value of the leased fee interest in the subject property, free and clear of financing. The date of value is June 1, 2011. The indicated market value estimates for the real property interest appraised are:
         
Cost Approach
    N/A  
Income Capitalization Approach
  $ 26,400,000  
Sales Comparison Approach
  $ 25,600,000  
     
Income 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 true 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 good measure of value for this type of property and has been utilized as the primary approach in concluding to 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. Market research revealed adequate sales of properties that are considered comparable to the subject property. The value conclusion derived via this approach is considered directly supportive of that concluded via the Income Approach.
 
   
The Cost Approach
  The Cost Approach was excluded from the scope of this assignment.
 
   
Conclusions
  Based on the merits of both the Income Capitalization and the Sales Comparison Approach, the final reconciliation of value is concluded with equal weight given to both approaches. The implied overall rate of the value conclusion in the Sales Comparison Approach is 6.26%, only 26 basis points above that processed in the Income Approach. Based upon the data, analyses and conclusions contained within this appraisal report, the Market Value of the Leased Fee Interest in the subject property, free and clear of financing, as of June 1, 2011 is:
