Williams' proposed apartment complex is 4 miles away from downtown and 6 blocks away from the nearest public transportation.
What is the net operating income (NOI) for Williams' proposed apartment complex?
NOI = (75)(700)(12)(0.93) – $40,000 ? $22,000 ? $18,000 ? $29,000 = $476,900.
Using the sales comparison approach, the value of the apartment complex is:
Value = (-350,000)(4) + (-500)(6) + (75,000)(75) = 4,222,000
Using the income approach, the value of Williams' apartment complex is:
Appraisal price = NOI / market cap rate = $476,900 / 0.11 = $4,335,454.55 |
