Re:     865 Bellevue Apartments
865 Bellevue Road
Nashville, Tennessee
Dear Mr. Johnson:
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 October 1, 2011 and update the results of prior appraisals of the Property that were completed by this firm. The property was originally appraised as of February 28, 2011, the results of which were communicated in a Self-contained Appraisal Report dated March 11, 2011 (the “Original Report”). The Original Report was subsequently updated as of May 31, 2011. The results of this update are communicated in a Restricted Use Appraisal Report dated June 3, 2011 (the “Prior Update”).
This appraisal report addresses changes that have occurred subsequent to the date the Original Report and Prior Update were prepared. The scope of this update appraisal assignment included the collection, confirmation and analyses 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 Original Report. The Property was not inspected 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 Original Report. Should this assumption be incorrect, the values reported herein may be materially impacted.
It should be noted that subsequent to the completion of the Original Report, the Property suffered fire damage which destroyed one residential building containing 8 townhome apartment units, or approximately 2.5% of the total unit count. Reconstruction of the units is currently underway and it is anticipated that construction will be completed by year-end 2011. It is assumed that insurance proceeds will cover the cost of reconstruction and rent loss. In our analysis we have assumed that all fire-damaged units have been successfully rebuilt, placed back in service and are operating at market rent and occupancy and accordingly, appraised the Property utilizing the total unit count of 326 apartment dwelling units as described in the Original Report.

As such, it presents little or no discussions of the data, reasoning, and analyses that were used in the appraisal process to develop the appraiser’s opinion of value. Supporting documentation concerning the data, reasoning, and analyses is retained in the appraiser’s file. The depth of discussion contained in this report is specific to the needs of the client and for their intended use. The appraisers are not responsible for unauthorized use of this report.
 
2.   No responsibility is assumed for the legal description provided or for matters pertaining to legal or title considerations. Title to the property is assumed to be good and marketable unless otherwise stated.
 
3.   The property is appraised free and clear of any or all liens or encumbrances unless otherwise stated.
 
4.   Responsible ownership and competent property management are assumed.
 
5.   The information furnished by others is believed to be reliable. However, no warranty is given for its accuracy.
 
6.   All engineering studies are assumed to be correct. The plot plans and illustrative material in this report are included only to help the reader visualize the property.
 
7.   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 obtaining the engineering studies that may be required to discover them.
 
8.   It is assumed that the property is in full compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations and laws unless the lack of compliance is stated, described, and considered in the appraisal 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.

12.   Unless otherwise stated in this report, the existence of hazardous substances, which may or may not be present on the property, was not observed by the appraiser. The appraiser has no knowledge of the existence of such materials on or in the property. The appraiser, however, is not qualified to detect such substances. The presence of substances such as asbestos, urea-formaldehyde foam insulation, and other potentially hazardous materials may affect the value of the property. The value estimated is predicated on the assumption that there is no such material on or in the property

ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS (Continued)
    that would cause a loss in value. No responsibility is assumed for such conditions or for any expertise or engineering knowledge required to discover them.
 
13.   Any allocation of the total value estimated in this report between the land and the improvements applies only under the stated program of utilization. The separate values allocated to the land and buildings must not be used in conjunction with any other appraisal and are invalid if so used.
 
14.   Possession of this report, or a copy thereof, does not carry with it the right of publication.
 
15.   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.
 
16.   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.
 
17.   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.
 
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.
SPECIAL CONDITION

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 “Multi Housing Market Report” (Fall 2011) prepared by Apartment Realty Advisors, Marcus & Millichap “Nashville Apartment Market Research Report” (Fourth Quarter 2010) and RED Capital Group (Third Quarter 2010 and 1st Quarter 2011), and “PWC Real Estate Investor Survey Third Quarter 2011” published by Price Waterhouse Coopers.
NATIONAL APARTMENT MARKET: Apartments staged a strong recovery in 2010 well ahead of expectations, despite modest job creation and stubbornly high unemployment. Net absorption surged in 2010, with occupied stock rising by nearly 200,000 units, double the number of apartments constructed and the highest level on record since 2000. Several factors contributed to high levels of absorption, including the release of pent-up renter demand as households de-bundled in the wake of the recession. In addition, apartments benefited from private-sector job growth in the critical 20- to 34-year-old cohort, expiration of the homebuyer tax credit, displaced foreclosed homeowners entering the renter pool, in migration and lower unit turnover. Ongoing single-family foreclosures, rental demand from the Generation Y/Echo-boomers and a limited pipeline of new supply are sustaining the robust recovery in the national apartment market through the third quarter of 2011. Amid these positive factors, however, stale job growth and “persistently high” unemployment remain potential hazards to an enduring expansion.
Effective rent growth turned positive for the U.S. apartment market in 2010, growing 2.3%, based on data by Reis. Amid a stop-and-start economic recovery, effective rents inched up just under 1.0% during the first half of 2011, a level similar to a year ago. Still, Reis forecasts accelerated rent growth during the second half of this year, bringing the annual average to 3.8% as additions to supply remain modest. On average, apartment inventory increased by roughly 114,000 new units annually between 2007 and 2010. In contrast, Reis estimates new supply to total 40,330 units for 2011, or just 35.0% of the prior four-year average. Some investors believe demand will continue to outpace supply while others are more cautious with regard to overbuilding.
Vivid improvements in fundamentals and a historically low cost of capital propelled transaction volume despite steep competition among eager buyers. In the second quarter 2011 alone, total sales volume approached $14.0 billion, a level not seen since early 2008, as per Real Capital Analytics. Due to the large number of well-capitalized investors seeking quality product, this market’s average overall capitalization rate dipped below 6.0% in the third quarter for the first time since midyear 2008. While most investors still favor core assets, nearly one fourth of total sales in the past year included some level of distress.
NASHVILLE APARTMENT MARKET: The Nashville economy is still showing consistent growth, as employment in the metro area has expanded at a healthy rate, with payrolls climbing 1.4% from a year ago. The key sectors of education/healthcare and professional/business services have been driving the growth. Payrolls in both sectors are at all-time highs, with growth measuring 2.9% and 2.5% from a year ago respectively. Unemployment is also below the national metric, measuring 8.5% in May 2011. With Nashville’s strong demographics and strength in key sectors, employment growth is expected to accelerate in the coming years and measure amongst the top in the nation.

APARTMENT MARKET OVERVIEW (Continued)
The addition of nearly 22,243 jobs during the 12 months ending August 2011 will drive improvements in Nashville apartment property performance this year. Recent hiring has generated robust tenant demand, reducing vacancy from nearly 10 percent at the end of 2010 to less than 7 percent after the first three months of 2011.
The Nashville apartment market remained robust in the second quarter 2011, as absorption was positive for the eighth consecutive quarter. While the metro area is still seeing the remnants of the prior cycle’s supply pipeline, absorption has been strong enough to lower vacancies. Vacancies measured 6.4% in the second quarter 2011, over 200 basis points lower than a year ago and over 300 basis points off their peak. Though absorption is expected to taper to more normalized levels in the coming years, the supply pipeline will slow as well, allowing vacancies to fall to the mid 3% range before stabilizing near 4% in 2015. Effective rents have appreciated in each of the last six months as a result of this strong demand. Effective rents are currently at a new peak, some 2.1% higher than a year ago. Rent growth is expected to continue as vacancies continue to fall.
Owners continue to leverage lower vacancy to implement rent increases and withdraw concessions that had risen to nearly one month of free rent during the recession. Renter demand has been especially strong for new upper-tier properties, and nearly 900 units were completed in the first quarter 2011, among the highest three-month totals in the past 10 years. Construction on these complexes commenced before the market started to improve last year. More than 1,500 units started construction in 2011 and should be completed sometime in 2012. Most of the new construction is concentrated in the Franklin and West End/Downtown submarkets.
Following a significant slowdown during the economic downturn, transaction velocity has recovered. New, well-functioning properties under varying degrees of financial distress typically attract qualified, large investors with either considerable cash to deploy or access to financing. A limited appetite for reclamation projects is apparent in recent deals, but additional market-wide rent growth and vacancy reductions in the months ahead could generate significant opportunities to strengthen asset performance. Among other opportunities, investors will remain attracted to properties adjacent to the numerous colleges and universities in the metro, including Vanderbilt and Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro.
Within the subject competitive market, the rent comparables report a slightly increase in occupancy levels over the intervening time period since the Original Report and Prior Update were prepared, with average occupancy for the competitive set at 96% as of October 2011. During this same time frame, rental rates appear to have increased slightly.
CONCLUSION: Market conditions appear to have bottomed. Occupancy levels are on a moderate upward trend that has resulted in firming rent rates, primarily in the form of reduced concessions. Occupancy and rent levels should continue to firm into the foreseeable future. Investor interest has increased over the past year. Firming occupancy levels coupled with anticipated rent growth will continue to encourage investors to target properties in the local market.

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: Review of rents charged by substitute and competitive properties in the influencing market area suggest that the Property’s quoted rent structure is within market parameters. Review of the Property’s current rent roll indicates that recent leases are being consummated at or near the quoted rents. The following chart illustrates the Property’s economic rent potential by floor plan as determined by an analysis of actual rents achieved at the Property and review of rents commanded by competitors in the area.

The subject has been able to maintain its fair share of occupancy within the competitive market. Market fundamentals are improving and recovering from the weakness experienced during the recent recession. The subject is currently 94% occupied and 92% leased. The average occupancy level thru the trailing 12-months period equates to 96.7%. The subject has enjoyed a rapid absorption of units subsequent to the completion of its renovation near year-end 2008. The property is very competitive in the market following the renovation and competes effectively with newer product in the influencing area as a result of its repositioned physical status.

INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH SUMMARY (Continued)
Given the Property’s current occupancy level and improvement noted in overall market conditions over the past year, a combined vacancy and collection loss allowance of 4% is projected for the appraised fiscal year.
In addition to rental income and vacancy described above, allowances for loss to lease, model, employee and administrative units, other income receipts and utility reimbursement income have been projected for the Property. These income allowances and have been projected by the appraiser based on an analysis of historical operations. The valuation pro forma presented on the following page outlines the Property’s income projections for the appraised fiscal year.
EXPENSE ANALYSIS: In order to forecast appropriate expenses for the Property, we have analyzed the Property’s operating expenses for the year ending periods of 2009 and 2010, the trailing 12-month period through September 2011 and the 2011 year-to-date operating history through September 2011. It is noted that the year-to-date 2011 operating information has been annualized for analytical purposes. In addition, we considered the Property’s 2011 operating budget and examined comparable expense data. The following table summarizes the Property’s historical operating statements that were made available for review.

INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH SUMMARY (Continued)
Review of recent sales data indicates that there has been no material change in capitalization rates between the date the Prior Update was prepared and the present. Based on recent sales data, a market-derived capitalization rate in the range of approximately 6.0% to 6.5% is considered reasonable for the Property.
Investor Surveys: According to the PricewaterhouseCoopers Real Estate Investor, Third Quarter 2011 rates for apartments reported by survey participants active in the market presently range as shown.

As indicated below, overall rates began increasing in the Third Quarter 2008 and continued to increase through the Fourth Quarter 2009. As the effects of the economic recession began to moderate at the beginning of 2010, rates began to fall. As market conditions continued to improve throughout 2010, capitalization rates continued to contract. Beginning in approximately the 4th quarter 2010, the decline in capitalization rates began to moderate as market fundamentals stabilized. The 3rd quarter 2011 average capitalization rate is approaching the lows realized prior to the economic recession.

Conclusion of OAR: An OAR in the range of approximately 7.0% to 8.4% was suggested from a review of actual sales data. Investor surveys indicate that capitalization rates in the National Apartment Market are beginning to stabilize after retreating back down from the highs realized during the economic recession and currently average approximately 5.98%. In consideration of the preceding data, with primary emphasis placed on the rates extracted from sales data in the local market, a rate in the range of approximately 6.0% to 6.5% is suggested for the subject property. A capitalization rate of 6.25% is concluded and processed for valuation purposes.

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 has remained strong over the past 12 months and there is increasing investor interest in good quality, well located assets that are being marketed for sale. Sufficient sales data was available to formulate a credible value for the Property via comparative analysis.
     Numerous sales of apartments in the Nashville metropolitan area have occurred subsequent to the date the Original Report and Prior Update were prepared. It is noted however that few sales of truly comparable properties have occurred during this time frame; and as a result we expanded our search beyond Nashville, identifying several comparable transactions in Atlanta, Georgia.
The sales outlined in the following chart are considered representative of current market activity for property similar to the subject of this appraisal. In addition to several of the sales transactions previously outlined in the Prior Update namely Avondale at Verandas at Sam Ridley, Walton’s at Columns Drive, Alara Farms, one other sale is presented and considered in the current valuation analysis. The sales data summarized in the table below and plotted on the map that follows are utilized as the basis in which to estimate the market of the subject property via the Sales Comparison Approach.

Prior to adjustments, the comparable sales range in price from approximately $80,729 to $127,679 per unit. After considering applicable adjustments, the sales prices fall within a narrower range of $84,766 to $105,760 per unit. The mean and median adjusted sales price equates to $95,379 and $93,750 per unit. Sales 1, 4 and 5 are situated in the local market however Sales 2 and 3 along with Sale 1 required minimal overall adjustment. Relatively equal emphasis is placed on each sale in concluding to an appropriate value for the Property.
Based on the data considered and implementation of applicable adjustments, a value in the range of approximately $90,000 to $100,000 is suggested and deemed reasonable for the Property. A value of $95,000 per unit is processed for valuation purposes. The resulting overall property value indication is $31,000,000 (rounded), calculated as follows:
         
Size (Units)
  Unit Price (per Dwelling Unit)   Indicated Market Value
 
       
326
x $95,000 = $30,970,000
CONCLUSION: The Market Value of the Fee Simple Interest in the Property as of October 1, 2011, by application of the Sales Comparison Approach, is:
THIRTY-ONE MILLION DOLLARS
($31,000,000)

RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE CONCLUSION
REVIEW: The purpose of this appraisal is to provide an estimate of Market Value of the 865 Bellevue Apartments. The indicated Market Value estimates for the real property interest appraised are:
         
The Income Capitalization Approach
  $ 30,300,000  
The Sales Comparison Approach
  $ 31,000,000  
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: An adequate number of recent transactions involving the sale of similar properties were available for review. The relevant indicators derived from the sale of these similar apartment buildings were compared to the subject property based on their location, physical and investment characteristics. The Sales Comparison Approach produces a reasonable indication of value for the Property and is utilized as a means of support to the value conclusion rendered 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 865 Bellevue Apartments, free and clear of financing, as of October 1, 2011 is:
THIRTY MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($30,300,000)
The value estimate rendered assumes that an exposure and marketing period of up to 6 to 9 months has occurred.
