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.

  The subject property consists of the land and improvements at 1 Bonrock Court within town of Towson, in the County and City of Baltimore. The Baltimore County Assessor identifies the property as Tax Parcels Identification Numbers 9-20-551880 and 9-20- 551881. The property consists of a 22.62 acre site improved with 383-unit apartment complex known as Colony at Kenilworth.
 
   
Sales History of the Subject Property
  According to public records, the current owner of the subject property is National Property Investors 6/MS235 AIMCO & TTA, who has owned the property since 1992. 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
  The intended user of this report is Fox Partners VIII. 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 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 overall rates in the multifamily segment over the last 5 quarters is a testament to this renewed interest in real estate investment at prices well above distress levels.

ZONING ANALYSIS
     
Introduction
  According to the current Baltimore County zoning map, the subject property is situated in a DR16 (Density Residential) District. DR zones are subdivision tracts which permit a wide variety of residential uses including single-family detached, semidetached or duplex dwellings, group houses and multifamily buildings. Also permissible are churches, schools, hospitals and day care/nursery programs among others.
 
   
NT Zoning Regulations
  The following restrictions are required for multifamily buildings in DR Districts:
Multifamily Buildings in D.R. Zones
     
Building face to building face (front or rear)
  60 feet
Building face to public street right-of-way
  25 feet
Side building face to side building face:
   
1 foot of setback per 1 foot of height to soffit line of tallest building
  Not less than 30 feet
Building face to tract boundary:
   
Front or rear building face
  40 feet
Side building face
  30 feet
Setbacks for buildings located adjacent to arterial roadways shall be increased by an additional 20 feet
   
Maximum height of building in feet for DR16
  60 feet
 
Source: Baltimore County Zoning general code, 2008.
     
Density
  Baltimore County Zoning Regulations state the following with regard to apartment unit density:
 
   
 
  “The maximum gross residential density permitted in any one D.R. Zone shall control only as applied to the total gross residential acreage within a subdivision tract, and shall not apply to or establish minimum areas of lots created by subdivision within such tract.”
 
   
 
  The Maximum Gross Residential Density (in dwelling or density units per acre) for DR16 Districts is 16.0. The subject density is 31.9 units per acre. However, as noted, a density specific to the subject property can not be evaluated. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that the subject property’s density would be approved under current zoning.
 
   
Parking Requirements
  Parking requirements for garden apartments in DR Districts are as follows: 1 per apartment with no separate bedroom, 1.25 per apartment with 1 or 2 separate bedrooms, and 1.5 per apartment with 3 or more separate bedrooms. The subject contains 35 one-bedroom units, 320 two-bedroom units and 28 three-bedroom units. The number of required parking spaces is calculated as follows:
KTR Real Estate Advisors, LLC

 


 

     
Colony at Kenilworth   June 3, 2011
Towson, MD   Page 18
     
 
  (35 x 1.25) + (320 x 1.25) + (28 x 1.5) = 486 parking spaces.
 
   
 
  The subject contains a reported 600 parking spaces and thus, is in compliance.
 
   
Conclusions
  The subject is located in a DR16 (Density Residential) zoning district. Each DR District is a subdivision tract and density requirements apply to the entire tract and not specifically to parcel within the tract. As such, the subject can not be individually evaluated with regard to density. As such, it appears the subject represents a legal and conforming use with uncertain density compliance and which meets the minimum parking requirements.

Mill Rate
  Mill rates have remained relatively stable over the past several years. The 2010/11 total mill rate applicable for all taxing authorities with jurisdiction over the subject property equates to $12.12 per $1,000 of assessed value. According to the County Assessor, the new mill rate will be published in July 2011.
 
   
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 is calculated utilizing the current assessment and the prior year tax rate, which equates to $498,313. The current tax liability has been adjusted for inflation resulting in a projected tax liability of $513,262 for the 2011/12 tax year. Thus, the real estate tax for the subject for the appraised fiscal year will apply the 2010/11 taxes from March through June and the 2011/12 taxes from July through February, equating to $508,279 which has been processed.

The one-bedroom apartments range between $871.83 and $891.87 per month; the two-bedroom units range between $959.45 and $1,069.02 per month and the three-bedroom units range between $1,462.31 and $1,794.37.
 
   
 
  Per the June 2, 2011 Unit Status Report, there were 26 units reported to be vacant. The average asking rents for the one- bedroom units are $979 and $999 per month; the two-bedroom average asking rents are $1,219, $1,138 and $1,110 per month and the three bedroom average asking rents are $1,620, $1,929 and $1,999.
 
   
Competitive Set
  In order to determine the reasonableness of the subject’s asking rents, a survey of comparable apartment complexes in the market was conducted. The subject competes with a number of properties in the area. All of the properties are in close proximity of the subject and define the range of property, unit types and rental rates available in the market. The information regarding the rent comparables was obtained through physical inspections and direct interviews of rental agents and property managers. The following map illustrates the location of the comparable properties in relation to the subject. Data sheets summarizing details of the comparable properties follow the map.

Comments
  This property is located directly adjacent of the subject property, off of Kenilworth Avenue. This property was formally an all senior development. It began accepting student residents three years ago. This property’s age and condition is comparable to the subject. Units contain washer/dryers; however, the units do not have individual entrances, nor do they have the expansive patios and decks as the subject property. A large amount of rentals in the area are by college students and this development has not “embraced students,” which is reflective in their occupancy rate. Overall, this comparable is considered inferior to the subject.

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 subject site is zoned within a DR16 (Density Residential) District. DR zones are subdivision tracts which permit a wide variety of residential uses including single-family detached, semidetached or duplex dwellings, group houses and multifamily buildings. Also permissible are churches, schools, hospitals and day care/nursery programs among others. The maximum value of a property is typically realized when a reasonable degree of homogeneity is present. Thus, conformity in use is usually a highly desirable aspect of real property, since it creates and/or maintains value. The immediate area is developed with numerous garden style apartment complexes and the subject abuts garden apartment complexes on both sides. Based on the principal of conformity and the subject’s zoning, the highest and best use of the property, if vacant, is multifamily 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. However, it is unclear whether the current unit density would be permitted 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.
 
   
 
  Investors are generally not buying, selling, or lending with reliance placed on the methodology of the Cost Approach to establish value. Furthermore, based on the age of the improvements and the potential that the subject could not be constructed today to its current density, the Cost Approach would lend little insight into the market value of the property. Accordingly, the Cost Approach has been excluded from the scope of this appraisal.
 
   
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 $444,780 per month or $5,337,360 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 over the past three years, though it has been inconsistent, ranging from a gain (positive) 4.3 percent to a loss of 1.8 percent. The 2010 loss to lease was 1.8% and the projected 2011 loss to lease is 2.0%. The submitted April 28, 2011 rent roll indicates a loss to lease of approximately 13%. This should decrease as rents rollover to market during the fiscal year. Accordingly, a loss to lease of 10% has been processed in this analysis.
 
   
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 increasing concessions over the past three years. Concessions for 2008, 2009 and 2010 were 1.1%, 2.4% and 3.8%, respectively. The budgeted concessions for 2011 are 4.0%. The budgeted 2011 concessions appear reasonable and have been processed for the appraised fiscal year.
 
   
Vacancy/Credit Loss
  The subject currently has a reported occupancy rate of 93.2%. Property Operating Statements reported a vacancy loss of 6.7% for 2008, 5.8% for 2009 and 5.3% for 2010. The projected 2011 vacancy loss is 5.2%. This includes a bad credit loss of $20,980 or 0.44% of the budgeted Gross Potential rent which has been budgeted. Occupancy levels for the competing properties in the influencing market area are outlined in the following table:

Donnybrook
    1949       260       98 %
     
 
  The subject’s current 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 is 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 383 apartment units; however, two apartment units are used as a management office. As many of the tenants are college students, the office often becomes with future students and parents to cosign. With consideration of the size of the property and the tenant demographic, it appears appropriate to have a management office consisting of two units. The two office units are G655 and O001, both of which are two bedroom apartments containing 880 square feet. In the Apartment Market Analysis it was determined that market value for two bedroom units were $1,140 monthly. Thus, the annual rent for these two units equates to $27,360 ($1,140 x 2 units x 12 months) and has been processed.
 
   
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 cable reimbursements. Other income receipts at the subject property were reported at $1,070, $1,195 and $1,335 per unit in 2008, 2009 and 2010. In 2011, this income is projected to be $1,334 per unit. As other income is based largely on occupancy, the budget appears reasonable and has been processed at the budgeted rate, that of $1,335 per unit.
 
   
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:

Overview
  All of the expenses have fluctuated moderately during the past couple of years. In general, the budgeted 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.
 
   
Utilities
  This expense line item includes charges for common area and vacant unit electricity, water/sewer and trash collection. Utility charges are offset by applicable tenant reimbursements. At the subject property, tenants reimburse the landlord for natural gas and water and sewer.

The reported utility expense per unit in 2008, 2009 and 2010 have been $382, $413 and $399, respectively. The budget utility expense in 2011 is $398 per unit. The IREM survey indicated that the median for garden complexes built between 1965 and 1979 in the subject’s area were $714 per unit, and an expense of $540 for all garden apartments in the area. As the units are individually metered for heat, hot water and gas, the budgeted expense appears reasonable. A utility expense of $400 per unit or $153,200 has been processed.

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.

Conclusion of OAR
  The subject is a good quality apartment complex with good property amenities and unique in design. The property is proximate to employment centers, shopping and neighborhood support facilities as well as Towson State University. Approximately half of the tenants at the subject are University students. Free shuttle service for students to and from campus is accessible at the front of the apartment complex. 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 97.4 percent as of the date of this appraisal.
 
   
 
  An OAR between 6.25 and 7.70 percent was suggested by the recent sales in the market. The Korpacz survey indicates an average overall rate for the Mid-Atlantic Region of 6.65 percent and for the National Apartment Market of 6.51 percent. The National Apartment Market has illustrated declining capitalization rates for four consecutive quarters. The subject is well-maintained and in good condition. In consideration of the preceding data, a rate of 6.5 percent is deemed reasonable and has been processed.
 
   
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:
 
   
 
  $2,510,662 ÷ 6.5% = $38,625,569
 
   
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:
 
   
 
  THIRTY EIGHT MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($38,600,000)

  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, 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 chart below and plotted on the following map, range in price from $113,998 to $128,592 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.

  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. 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 comparable sales occurred between May 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 894 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
  The subject offers unit and property amenity typical in the market. As all of the comparables offer similar amenities, no adjustments for amenities have been applied.

VALUE CONCLUSION
  After analysis and adjustments, a value range of $102,874 to $1108,298 per unit is indicated. All sales are good indicators of the subject’s marketability. Sale No. 3 required the least net adjustment; however, it is the most distant from the subject. As such, it is reasonable to conclude to a unit value of $105,000 per unit. Accordingly, the market value via the Sales Comparable Approach is calculated as follows:
 
   
 
  383 units x $105,000 = $40,215,000
 
   
 
  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:
 
   
 
  FORTY MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS

  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   $ 38,600,000  
Sales Comparison Approach   $ 40,200,000  
     
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.
 
   
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 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:
