  1. Appraisals Def: It is an opinion of value rendered by an impartial person skilled in the analysis and evaluation of real estate

  2. Audience • People or parties interested in transferring ownership • Taxing Authorities • Compensation for property loss and damages for insurance companies • Attorneys need appraisals for divorces, estate planning, etc…

  3. Who can be an appraiser ? • Prior to 1989 anyone could be an appraiser • In 1989 anyone dealing with federal mortgages had to be licensed and certified in all 50 states • 2 Types of Appraisers • Licensed Appraiser • Certified Appraiser

  4. Nature of Fair Market Value • Def : Most probable selling price • With following conditions • Property is exposed to an open market for a reasonable period of time. • Buyers and Sellers are well informed and act prudently (in own self interest) • Payment is in cash without financing

  5. Appraisal Report • Fair Market Value based on current use. • What is the fair market value based on its highest and best use.

  6. Steps in Preparing an Appraisal • Define the Problem • Plan the Appraisal • Inspect Subject Property • Collect Market Data • Study Impact of Economic and Social Factors • Estimate Value using 3 Methods • Sales Comparison Approach • Cost Approach • Income Approach • Write Formal Report • Submit Report to Client

  7. Market Approach(Sales Comparison) • An average is never used • Rule #1 • If the comparable has a more desirable feature we subtract off the market value of that feature • Rule #2 • If the comparable lacks a desirable feature compared to the subject property then we add the value of this improvement

  8. Cost Method • Buyers will pay no more to erect a new building with the same features • Three Steps to this Approach • Estimate current costs to replace improvements • Subtract off the values of improvements that are used up.(e.g. depreciation) • Add in value of land

  9. Income Approach • Basic philosophy is that buyers will pay no more than the cost of purchasing the same cash flows with equal risk • Figure out Net Operating Income and then discount it back • EX. • Estimated Value = Operating Income • Capitalization Rate

  10. Examples An office building is currently producing $38,000 in operating income per year. If an investor requires a return of 14% on their investment, how much should they pay for the property if operating income remains the same in the future? Solution: V = $38,000/.14 = $271,429 Using the facts above, suppose operating income is expected to grow at 3% per year. What would the estimated value be? Solution: V = $38,000/.14 - .03 = $345,454

  11. Leases • Divide the bundle of rights between owners and users. • If a lease is over 1 year in length it has to be in writing. • Lease must be delivered to the tenant to be valid. • Landlords can restrict the use of the property through the lease. • Landlords are entitled to enter premises at any reasonable hour with notice • Landlords have right to show residence to prospective renters and buyers.

  12. Rights of Tenants • Property needs to be safe and habitable • Tenant has right to privacy • Lease can be canceled if property is damaged by any peril such as fire, tornado, etc. • Tenant can not be forced into taking alternative housing. • Tenant has right to withhold rent up to $300 or ½ of monthly rent in order to force landlord to make repairs on code violations. • Leases are non-transferable to other tenants

  13. Subleasing / Subletting • Sublease – someone else takes over the premises but original tenant remains liable for rent and damages • Substitute – New tenant is substituted entirely for the old tenant. The new tenant becomes entirely responsible for rent and damages

  14. Lease Termination • 95% leases terminate at end of lease • Tenant abandonment • Formal Eviction • Constructive Eviction

  15. Types of Leases • Commercial Leases • Normally based on Sq. Ft. • Net Lease • Percentage Lease • Triple Net Lease • Graduated Lease • Index Lease • Re-appraisal Lease • Ground Lease
