of this appraisal is to estimate the “as is” market value of the fee simple

interest in the subject property. The values reported are predicated upon

market conditions prevailing as of the date of appraisal, March 3, 2010. This

appraisal is intended for use by Johnson Capital as an aid in loan underwriting

The subject is a 350-unit apartment complex on 10.83 acres. It is

located along Hare, India, and Jasper Avenues just east of Arlington Road inthe city of Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida. This location is less than 0.50

mile south of the Arlington Expressway and about four miles east of downtown

Jacksonville and I-95. The complex consists of 27 one- and two-story

apartment buildings and was reportedly constructed between 1963 and 1969.

The unit mix includes studio, efficiency, and one- and two-bedroom units

ranging from 320 to 1,000 square feet. Property amenities include onsite

management, pool, fitness center, laundry facility, and a pool. The buildings

DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE

Market value means the most probable price a property should bring in a competitive

and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, 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 passingof 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 considertheir own 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 financialarrangements 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 associatedwith the sale.1 

PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED

We have appraised the fee simple estate, or interest, in the subject property. Real

properties have multiple rights inherent with ownership. These include the right to sell, to

lease, to give away, or to occupy, among other rights. Often referred to as the “bundle of

rights”, an owner who enjoys all the rights in this bundle owns the fee simple title.

“Fee title” is the greatest right and title an individual can hold in real property. Itis “free and clear” ownership subject only to the governmental rights of policepower, taxation, eminent domain and escheat reserved to federal, state, andlocal governments2.

APPRAISAL DEVELOPMENT AND REPORTING PROCESS

We completed the following steps for this assignment:

1. Analyzed regional, city, neighborhood, site, and improvement data.

2. Inspected the subject site and the neighborhood.

1The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency under 12 CFR, Part 34, Subpart C-Appraisals, ♣34.42(f), August 24,

1990. This definition is compatible with the definition of market value contained in The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal , Third Edition, and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice adopted by the AppraisalStandards Board of The Appraisal Foundation, 1995 edition. This definition is also compatible with the OTS, FDIC,NCUA, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System definition of market value.2 The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal , Appraisal Institute, Third Edition, 1993

Introduction

3. Reviewed data regarding taxes, zoning, utilities, easements, and services.

4. Considered improved sales, as well as comparable rentals. Confirmed data withprincipals, managers, or real estate agents representing principals, unlessotherwise noted.

5. Analyzed the data to arrive at concluded estimates of value via each applicable

approach.

6. Reconciled the results of each approach to value employed into a probable rangeof market data and finally an estimate of value for the subject, as defined herein.

7. Estimated reasonable exposure and marketing times associated with the valueestimate.

The site and improvement descriptions included in this report are based on a personal

inspection of the subject property, information provided by the owner (survey and phase I

ESA), property management, selling broker (financing package), Duval County tax records,

and our knowledge of similar type properties. Not available were building plans, property

condition studies, geotechnical reports. While the available information is adequate forvaluation purposes, our investigations are not a substitute for formal engineering studies.

This is a self-contained report, which is intended to comply with the reporting

requirements set forth under Standards Rule 2-2(a) of the Standards of Professional Appraisal

Practice. The value estimates reflect all known information about the subject, market

conditions, and available data. The self-contained report incorporates to the fullest extent

possible, a practical explanation of the data, reasoning and analysis used to develop the

opinions of value. It also includes thorough descriptions of the subject and the market for the

property type.

SPECIAL APPRAISAL INSTRUCTIONS

As mentioned above, we were asked to appraise the subject “as is”. The following

definition pertains to the value estimate provided in this report.

Market Value “As Is” on Appraisal Date

An estimate of the market value of a property in the condition observed upon inspection

and as it physically and legally exists without hypothetical conditions, assumptions, orqualifications as of the date the appraisal is prepared.

Market value “as is” assumes a typical marketing period, which we have estimated at12 months or less.

LOCATION ANALYSIS

REGIONAL OVERVIEW

The subject site is located in the eastern portion of metropolitan Jacksonville, Duval

County, Florida. To assist in providing regional information for this area, we obtained ananalysis prepared by Economy.com. The following paragraphs contain highlights of the

November 2009 study.

Recent Performance

While the Jacksonville economy's recession is moderating, the recovery has yet to

begin. Signs of optimism include slower job losses, rising home sales, and increases in

industrial output. Nonetheless, wages are falling, unemployment is rising, discouragedworkers are quitting the labor force, and no industry besides finance is creating jobs.

Moreover, while home prices have temporarily stabilized in some of Florida's metro areas,

price declines remain intense in the Jacksonville area because of rising foreclosure and short

sales. Mounting delinquencies and foreclosures threaten to further depress home prices next

year.

METROPOLITAN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA

 

Stimulus

In addition to the benefits for Jacksonville of policymakers' efforts to revive housing

and lift industrial output, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding for expansions is

helping to pull the metro area out of recession. Jacksonville was awarded a community

development block grant that will create over 600 permanent jobs and 100 temporary

construction jobs. Stimulus funds are also flowing to North Florida Shipyards, which can now

finance an expansion that will create 300 jobs.

The area will also benefit if Florida wins federal funding to create a high-speed

commuter rail service from Jacksonville to Miami. The state would have to win approval from

CSX to use the company's cargo lines for passenger travel, but concessions could be made to

gain approval if Florida were to receive federal funds. Lastly, the metro area could gain if the

Jacksonville Electric Authority wins requested stimulus money to upgrade its electric grid.

Federal aid will remain robust through next summer thanks to ongoing stimulus disbursements

and hiring for the 2010 Census.

Commercial Real Estate

There are no indications of a bottom in commercial real estate. A glut of office and

retail space has formed, as many builders developed space in anticipation of strong

immigration into the Jacksonville area that did not materialize. To wit, domestic immigration,

one of Jacksonville’s primary growth engines, has collapsed as the national recession has

eviscerated labor force mobility. The combination of oversupply and reduced demand has

pushed vacancy rates higher and reduced rental rates. Property reappraisals are falling 20%

below loan value, undermining the capital bases of local and regional banks that are

consequently refusing to make new commercial loans. Banks will not resume commercial

lending until prices bottom. This could take up to two years. A bevy of projects still under

construction such as The Urbana in Jacksonville Beach and Doctor's Village in northwest St.

Johns County threaten to forestall the recovery in the local commercial real estate market.

International Trade

Jacksonville’s trade industry has strong long-term prospects. To be sure, the global

recession has slowed investment in JAXPORT. The port authority will do more maintenance

than expansion next year, and Hanjin Shipping has delayed the completion of its container

terminal, which will triple the port's handling capacity, until 2013. Nonetheless, the expansion

of the Panama Canal in 2014 has the potential of making Jacksonville one of the largest ports

on the East Coast. To realize its potential, the metro area must soon begin widening its river

channel to handle post-Panamax mega cargo ships. A better business climate, rail

infrastructure, and its location in the fast-growing South make Jacksonville a very attractive

shipping port.

Summary and Conclusions

Despite the efforts of the federal government, weak population growth and woeful

commercial and residential real estate markets will prevent the Jacksonville economy from

stabilizing before next summer. In the long term, a strong military presence, growing

prominence as an international trade port, and robust demographic trends ensure that

metropolitan Jacksonville will be an above average performer.

NEIGHBORHOOD OVERVIEW

Location and Boundaries

The subject is located along Hare, India, and Jasper Avenues just east of Arlington

Road in the city of Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida. This location is less than 0.50 mile

south of the Arlington Expressway and about four miles east of downtown Jacksonville and I-

95.

The subject’s neighborhood can be generally defined as being bound by the St. Johns

River to the north, J. Turner Butler Boulevard/FL Hwy. 202 to the south, SouthsideBoulevard/FL Hwy. 115 to the east, and San Jose Boulevard/Hendricks Avenue/FL Hwy 13 to

the west. The subject's immediate neighborhood is a mature mix of single- and multi-family

mixed with commercial uses along the primary traffic corridors.

Accessibility and Availability of Utilities

Interstate 95 extends along the eastern seaboard through Jacksonville. It is a multi-

lane right-of-way with limited access that traverses the western portion of the neighborhood in

a generally north/south direction. Phillips Highway/U.S. Highway 1 more or less parallels I-95

in the western portion of the neighborhood. This roadway extends along the easternseaboard through Jacksonville. It is a four-lane asphalt-paved right-of-way with center turn

lane that serves as a neighborhood thoroughfare. Properties along the road include privately

owned motels, offices, a neighborhood shopping center, retail business and restaurants. 

University Boulevard extends north from San Jose Boulevard across Beach Boulevard

and Atlantic Boulevard to the Redi Point area. It is a four-lane asphalt-paved roadway that

traverses the west central portion of the neighborhood. Hendricks Avenue is a four-lane

asphalt-paved right-of-way with median and center turn lane. It extends north from the

southern portion of the neighborhood to the St. Johns River area in the northern portion of the

neighborhood. Properties along the thoroughfare include neighborhood shopping centers,offices, restaurants, and residential communities.

Emerson Street bisects the neighborhood as a major east/west thoroughfare. Also

extending East/West is J. Turner Butler Boulevard, which is a connector road from Interstate

95 in the west to S.R. A1A in the east. Atlantic Boulevard leads east from the San Marco area

of the neighborhood and extends to the Atlantic Ocean. It is a four-lane asphalt surfaced

roadway with several residential developments off of this road, which is developed with retail

and service establishments. Beach Boulevard serves the same purpose as Atlantic Boulevard.

However, it is located about three miles south of Atlantic Boulevard serving another area of

the neighborhood. It is a four-lane asphalt-paved road. 

As shown in the neighborhood map in the addenda, there are numerous roads within

the neighborhood, and they were more or less designed in a grid system. Most of these

streets are two-laned, but have high traffic volumes. All have relatively easy access to

Interstate 95.

Utilities available in this neighborhood include public water, sewer, electricity, and

telephone. All standard municipal services are also provided, including police and fire

protection.

Land Use

The neighborhood is approximately 95% developed. The neighborhood is primarily

residential with mixed residential and commercial located along major thoroughfares. The

majority of the industry is in the south and the east portion of the neighborhood, and the

neighborhood is mostly residential nearer to the St. Johns River. There is a full array of

community services, including churches, schools, hospitals, and recreational facilities within

the neighborhood.

Most of the newer construction and redevelopment is in the San Marco area and the

area along U.S. Highway 1 near its intersection with Emerson Street. State Road 13 is mostly

developed, and Emerson Street continues to transition from residential to commercial use.The portion of the neighborhood near and along U. S. Highway 1 is improved with commercial

properties, flex space, and office/warehouse/distribution facilities. A business park is located

north of University Boulevard, west of U. S. Highway 1.

The northern portion of the neighborhood, known as the San Marco area, has recently

undergone renovation and redevelopment. The area along the south-bank of the St. Johns

River is developed with commercial properties including Baptist Medical Center, high-rise and

single-story office buildings, restaurants, and hotels. This area was once home to several light

industrial and warehousing facilities, many of which have been renovated to retain their

original style of architecture with their use changed to office or commercial facilities. South ofthe riverfront, land uses are primarily commercial along the corridors of San Marco Boulevard,

Hendricks Avenue, and Kings Avenue. At the juncture of San Marco Boulevard, Hendricks

Avenue, and Atlantic Boulevard is the San Marco shopping area that centers on a park

concept with green space and a gazebo. What began as a residential area for those working

across the river in downtown Jacksonville in the early 1900’s has evolved into a desirable

cosmopolitan area of Jacksonville. The City of Jacksonville has targeted San Marco for

infrastructure improvement as part of the Better Jacksonville Plan, and efforts for road and

drainage improvements are underway. As the San Marco area continues to improve,

gentrification of adjacent areas has increased the desirability of areas like Miramar and St.

Nicholas.

Multi-family developments in the subject neighborhood are primarily in proximity to the

DEMOGRAPHICS SUMMARY

3 Mile Radius - 7703 Hare Avenue

 

As shown, population has increased slightly and is expected to continue to grow

modestly over the next five years. Income and education levels are below the MSA. Jobs are

heavily weighted toward white collar, followed by blue collar, and services, which is similar to

the MSA. Although vacancies appear relatively high for the MSA, this is common for coastal

vacation areas, which the neighborhood does not encompass. Overall, the area appears

stable and this is not anticipated to change over the near term.

Conclusion and Relevance to the Subject Property

The subject neighborhood is a stable, densely developed area of Jacksonville, Duval

County. Most of improvements in the immediate area were constructed over 25 years ago,

and these improvements are generally in average condition. Homes in the area are typically

older, and oriented to lower- and middle-income groups. The subject maintains a good

location within the Jacksonville area and traffic arteries carry high volumes. Overall, the

Covenants, Conditions,and Restrictions:

We are not aware of any deed restrictions, or restrictingcovenants, other than zoning.

Utilities/Services: Utilities available to the subject include water, sanitary and stormsewer, electricity, and telephone. Services include police and fire

protection.

Flood Zone: According to FEMA, the subject is on Flood Insurance Rate MapNumber 120077 0164 E which was revised August 15, 1989.Most of the site appears to be in Zone X, which is described asareas determined to be outside the 500-year flood.

It has interiorfeatures that are demanded by tenants in the market, and averagequality construction and exterior appeal. In comparison to thepresent apartment inventory in Jacksonville the subject propertywould comparatively rate as fair to average quality.

ZONING ANALYSIS

The property is subject to the zoning regulations of the City of Jacksonville. It is zoned

Residential Medium Density E (RMD-E) which permits multi-family houses to a density of 20

units per acre or 216 units. Please note that there could be 216 two- and three-bedroom

apartments and not studios, efficiencies or 1-bedroom units so that income generation would

be similar. Subject project currently has 350 units. In addition, there are setbacks of 20 feet

for front, side or rear yards which are not met. Also on site parking requirements are 1.5

spaces for efficiency apartments and studios. 1.75 spaces for one bedroom apartments and 2

spaces for two bedroom units for a minimum of 405 parking spaces. It is our understanding

that the subject is a legal non-conforming use. However, we recommend a letter be obtained

from the City of Jacksonville for further questions regarding this matter.

TAX ANALYSIS

MARKET ANALYSIS

NATIONAL APARTMENT MARKET

The Emerging Trends in R Estate 2010  report, prepared by Price-Waterhouse-

Coopers LLC and ULI – Urban Land Institute, there are numerous reasons why apartmentsare considered to be a good investment. Pent-up demand grows for apartments. Twenty-

something’s who moved back home out of necessity, want out of parents’ homes as soon as

their employment prospects improve. The roommate thing also gets stale for people who had

their own space until the recession struck. A huge generation Y cohort of young adults should

be avid renters. They delay marriage and kids to build careers and many won’t think about

buying suburban houses until they have families. Further, the lack of available mortgage

financing and requirements for larger cash down payments make house buying more difficult.

Demand for apartments should ramp up with the first signs of increased hiring, particularly in

underserved markets. On the supply side, the apartment development has come to a

standstill.

However, the negative aspects of apartments as an investment are also very real. The

  jobs outlook hardly looks bright, delaying a pickup in renter demand. Shadow condos flood

some multifamily markets with new supply, hurting occupancies and dropping rents, especially

for upper-income apartments. National vacancy rates climb to record highs. With softer rents

and a 150-basis-point rise in cap rates the impact and values can be significant.

Multifamily investments historically provide the best risk-adjusted returns among real

estate property types and current market experience reinforces investor views of the

apartment sector’s relative resiliency. The expected early rebound in demand trends, supplyconstraints in many markets, and institutional investor appetite for income-producing

properties add up to a solid, albeit not immediate, recovery track.

According to the 1st  Quarter 2010 Korpacz Real Estate Investor Survey , prepared by

Price-Waterhouse-Coopers LLC, apartment vacancy rates remain perched at record levels as

owners wait for economic stability, a decline in single-family housing construction, and the full

impact of the echo-boomer generation to boost apartment demand. ver the past year, overall

vacancy escalated 130 basis points, ending 2009 at 8.0%, based on data by Reis. his "all-

time high" in Reis' 30-year history of tracking the U.S. apartment sector compares to the

previous high of 7.8% in 1986. Many investors believe that the apartment market will "bump

along the bottom" through 2010, showing little improvement in its fundamentals.

With a smaller pool of renters, competition among landlords has resulted in declining

rental rates and liberal concession packages to entice tenants. This quarter, free rent ranges

up to nine months and averages just under three months, according to Survey participants. In

addition, some owners are reducing or eliminating deposits and fees and/or offering

merchandise giveaways. Due to concessions, average effective rental rates were down 2.9%

at year-end 2009 over the prior year.

As landlords struggle to preserve revenue, cost-cutting measures remain paramount.

Amid this challenging ownership environment, sales activity has fallen to a record low in this

sector. According to Real Capital Analytics, annual sales of apartment properties dropped63.0% in 2009 and were primarily single-asset deals. While an increase in sales velocity

occurred during the fourth quarter of 2009, it was partially due to an increase in distressed

ownership and forced sales. Similar to other property sectors, equity investors are seeking

well-located, high-quality apartment assets.

The 1st  Quarter 2010 Korpacz Real Estate Investor Survey  prepared by Price-

Waterhouse Coopers indicates that overall capitalization rates for apartments range from

5.00% to 11.00%, with an average of 7.85%. This is a decrease in the overall average rate of

18 basis points from 4th quarter 2009 and 66 basis points higher than the same period one

year ago. The investors indicated inflation assumptions for market rent generally rangingbetween -10.00% and 3.00%, with an average of -0.91%. Additionally, these investors quoted

an expense inflation rate between 0.00% and 4.00%, with an average of 2.55%. Internal rate

of return requirements for the investors ranged from 6.50% to 14.00%, with an average of

10.18%. The average marketing time reported ranged from 1 to 18 months, with an average

of 8.06 months.

JACKSONVILLE APARTMENT MARKET

According to an article in the Jacksonville Business Journal dated January 29, 2010,

Jacksonville’s apartment market is standing out from the rest of the nation for the worst of

reasons, it has the highest vacancy rate. There are a number of reasons why Northeast

Florida has a 14.4 percent vacancy rate, but multifamily experts said the root of the problem is

another serious issue facing Jacksonville, the rising unemployment rate.

Jacksonville lost more than 22,000 jobs last year and local workers are facing another

3,000 to 4,000 job cuts in 2010, according to Torto Wheaton Research. One of the main

drivers in the apartment market is job growth. Every four to five new jobs is estimated to

create a demand for one rental unit. In addition, while construction of new apartmentcommunities slowed or even stopped for most U.S. markets in the past two years, in

Jacksonville, 1,200 apartment units were completed in 2008 and 2,600 units were completed

in 2009. So the combination of the rising unemployment rate, which was at 11.3 percent in

Northeast Florida as of December 2009, coupled with an over supply of inventory took its toll

on the market.

Market Analysis

But there were even more factors in the run up to Jacksonville earning the title of

having the highest vacancy rate in the nation. Jacksonville’s 62,000 apartment units is a very

small apartment inventory compared with other cities, so even a minor change in any of the

supply or demand drivers will tend to have a significant impact on the market. During the first

half of the past decade, interest rates were low and Jacksonville had cheap raw land, making

it more affordable for people in lower income brackets who would ordinarily rent to become

homeowners. When the foreclosure rate started to soar, developers ramped up construction

to replace communities that had been converted to condominiums and to prepare for an

expected mass exodus back to the rental market by those who had been foreclosed on. But

that didn’t happen. Instead, people moved into the shadow rental market where condos and

single-family homes are rented instead of sold, often at a less expensive rate than apartment

communities. Other people doubled up with other family members, friends or roommates.

The rising vacancy rate at some apartment communities has been enough to send

them into foreclosure, and more are on the verge, particularly those acquired at the height of

the real estate market with adjustable rate loans. But those bank-owned communities could

be an incentive for investors to move back into the market, because they can buy foreclosed

apartment communities for 30 percent of their earlier value and can bring them up to the

market rate standard for about $10,000 to $20,000 per unit. Developers buying foreclosed

apartment communities, along with the much more narrow development pipeline for new

communities, which includes 520 units in 2010 and none in 2011, will help Jacksonville’s

market correct itself, experts said. However, because of the reputation Jacksonville’s

apartment market has now as a higher risk city for lenders to invest in, it will likely take it

longer to recover.

Although the subject’s one- and two-bedroom units are within the size range of the

comparables and are competitively priced in comparison to the comparables. However, the

efficiency and studio units are well below the size range. Although these units have per

square foot rents toward the high end of the market, the monthly rents are well below the

comparables. Based on our analysis of the comparables and the rent roll, it appears that the

current quoted rents for the subject are well supported. Therefore, we used the quoted rents

in our valuation.

Rental Income Conclusion

Based on our analysis of the comparables, the current quoted rents appear generally

reasonable. These rents are also supported within the provided rent roll.

OCCUPANCY

As shown in the chart below, physical occupancy at the subject is 93%. Historically

the property has experienced occupancies in the low to mid 90’s. Occupancy at the

comparables ranges from 36% to 92% and the weighted average occupancy is 76%.

However, the low comparable is undergoing renovations and is still in lease-up. If excluding

this comparable the weighted average is 90%. The subject offers the smallest units in the

market and has corresponding lower rents, which is why it is able to outperform the market in

terms of occupancy.

In our analysis we used stabilized physical occupancy of 92%. This is a largely based

on their current and recent historical occupancies.

SUBJECT CHARACTERISTICS AND MARKETABILITY

The subject is a 350-unit apartment complex on 10.83 acres. It is located along Hare,

India, and Jasper Avenues just east of Arlington Road in the city of Jacksonville, Duval

Market Analysis

County, Florida. This location is less than 0.50 mile south of the Arlington Expressway and

about four miles east of downtown Jacksonville and I-95. The complex consists of 27 one-

and two-story apartment buildings and was reportedly constructed between 1963 and 1969.

The unit mix includes studio, efficiency, and one- and two-bedroom units ranging from 320 to

1,000 square feet. Property amenities include onsite management, pool, fitness center,

laundry facility, and a pool. The buildings feature traditional design with painted stucco over

concrete block exterior walls and built-up roofs. The property is in overall fair to average

condition. According to the provided rent roll, there are 23 vacant units. The subject property

is perceived as ‘Class C’ apartment complex. Overall it is in fair to average condition and

suffers some deferred maintenance.

The metro area's long-term outlook remains good, which will only be bolstered by its

growing prominence as port city. Given all of these factors, it seems that there would be

moderate interest in the investor market for the subject if it were to be placed on the market.

Given the overall value of the asset, it would likely appeal to local or regional investors, but its

size could attract some institutional players.

REASONABLE EXPOSURE AND MARKETING TIMES

Exposure time is always presumed to precede the effective date of appraisal. It is the

estimated length of time the property would have been offered prior to a hypothetical market

value sale on the effective date of appraisal. It assumes not only adequate, sufficient, and

reasonable time but also adequate, sufficient, and reasonable marketing effort. To arrive at

an estimate of exposure time for the subject, we considered direct and indirect market datagathered during the market analysis, the amount of time required for marketing the

comparable sales included in this report, broker surveys, as well as information provided by

national investor surveys that we regularly review. This information indicated typical exposure

periods of twelve months or less for properties similar to the subject. Given this information,

we estimate that an exposure period of twelve months or less, if it was aggressively marketed.

A reasonable marketing time is the period a prospective investor would forecast to sell

the subject immediately after the date of value, at the value estimated. The sources for this

information include those used in estimating reasonable exposure time, but also an analysis of

the anticipated changes in market conditions following the date of appraisal. Based on thepremise that present market conditions are the best indicators of future performance, a

prudent investor will forecast that, under the conditions described above, the subject property

would require a marketing time of twelve months or less. This seems like a reasonable

projection, given the current and projected market conditions.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE

24

In appraisal practice, the concept of highest and best use is the premise upon which

value is based. The four criteria that the highest and best use must meet are: legal

permissibility; physical possibility; financial feasibility; and maximum profitability.

Highest and best use is applied specifically to the use of a site as vacant. In cases

where a site has existing improvements, the concluded highest and best use as if vacant may

be different from the highest and best use as improved. The existing use will continue,

however, until land value, at its highest and best use, exceeds that total value of the property

under its existing use plus the cost of removing or altering the existing structure.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE AS THOUGH VACANT

The subject zoning district is primarily intended for medium density residential. The

existing use is a permitted use and given the surrounding current uses a zoning change to amore intense use would be unlikely. The site is generally suitable for virtually all permitted

uses, with the only significant limitation being site area. Due to the sites’ location it is ideally

suited for multifamily development. While some other uses such as single-family residential

might also be financially feasible, it seems likely that an apartment complex would produce the

highest land value. The existing apartment complex is a form of the highest and best use of

the site as if vacant. However, maximum density permitted for the subject site if it were vacant

would be 20 units per acre, which is well below the density of the existing improvements.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE AS IMPROVED

The subject is used in the operation of an apartment complex, which is permitted

under the subject’s current zoning by the City of Jacksonville, however the subject it is

nonconforming in terms of density and parking. The improvements are well suited for their

intended use. It is possible the improvements could be converted to another use entirely, if

the costs were justified. This seems highly unlikely, however. Our investigation indicates that

there is fairly strong demand in the market for apartments. Given that use of the subject

improvements is basically limited to the current or a similar use physically, and the fact that the

improvements are financially feasible, we conclude that the existing apartment use is

consistent with the maximally profitable use. We conclude that the highest and best use of the

property is for continued use as an apartment complex.

APPRAISAL METHODOLOGY

25

Three basic approaches to value are typically considered. The cost, sales

comparison, and income capitalization methodologies are described below.

• The cost approach is based on the premise that an informed purchaser will pay nomore for the subject than the cost to produce an equivalent substitute. This approach

is particularly applicable when the subject property is relatively new and represents thehighest and best use of the land, or when relatively unique or specializedimprovements are located on the site for which there exist few sales or leasecomparables. The first step in the cost approach is to estimate land value (at itshighest and best use). The second step is to estimate cost of all improvements.Improvement costs are then depreciated to reflect value loss from physical, functionaland external causes. Land value and depreciated improvement costs are then addedto indicate a total value.

• In the sales comparison approach, sales of comparable properties, adjusted fordifferences, are used to indicate a value for the subject. Valuation is typicallyaccomplished using physical units of comparison such as price per square foot, price

per square foot excluding land, price per unit, etc., or economic units of comparisonsuch as a net operating income (NOI) or gross rent multiplier (GRM). Adjustments areapplied to the physical units of comparison. Economic units of comparison are notadjusted, but rather are analyzed as to relevant differences, with the final estimatederived based on the general comparisons. The reliability of this approach isdependent upon: (a) availability of comparable sales data; (b) verification of the data;(c) degree of comparability; and (d) absence of atypical conditions affecting the saleprice.

• The income approach involves an analysis of the income-producing capacity of theproperty on a stabilized basis. The steps involved are: analyzing contract rent andcomparing it to comparable rentals for reasonableness; estimating gross rent; making

deductions for vacancy and collection losses as well as building expenses; and thencapitalizing net income at a market-derived rate to yield an indication of value. Thecapitalization rate represents the relationship between net income and value.

Related to the direct capitalization method is discounted cash flow (DCF). Inthis method of capitalizing future income to a present value, periodic cash flows (whichconsist of net income less capital costs, per period) and a reversion (if any) areestimated and discounted to present value. The discount rate is determined byanalyzing current investor yield requirements for similar investments.

Since investors are active in the marketplace for properties similar to the subject, the

income approach is particularly applicable to the appraisal. We performed direct

capitalization. The sales comparison method of analysis simulates investigations of a typical

buyer for properties like the subject. Therefore, this approach was employed for this

assignment. We did not employ the cost approach, as the age of the improvements suggests

physical depreciation, which is difficult to quantify. It should also be noted that investors of

income producing properties typically do not perform a cost approach, as they are most

concerned with the income characteristics of the asset.

INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH

26

The income capitalization approach to value is based upon an analysis of the

economic benefits to be received from ownership of the subject. These economic benefits

typically consist of the net operating income projected to be generated by the improvements.

There are several methods by which the present value of the income stream may be

measured, including direct capitalization and a discounted cash flow analysis. In this section,we used the direct capitalization method. We initially estimated potential rental income,

followed by projections of vacancy and collection loss and operating expenses. The resultant

net operating income is then capitalized into a value indication based on application of an

appropriate overall capitalization rate.

POTENTIAL GROSS RENTAL INCOME

Willow Lakes

 

Based on our analysis of the comparables in the Market Analysis, the current quoted

rents appear generally reasonable. These rents are also supported within the provided rent

roll. The annualized rent indicated on the provided rent roll is 96% of our estimate of effective

rental gross income (PGRI less vacancy), which indicates reasonableness.

MISCELLANEOUS OTHER INCOME

Other Income in the apartment market is derived from forfeited deposits, pet fees,

application fees, late payment fees, laundry and vending machines, etc. During 2007, 2008,

and 2009 historical other income levels for the subject were $96, $96, and $172 per unit,

respectively. The 2010 budget indicates $139 per unit. Based on this, we used $125 per unit

in our analysis.

VACANCY AND COLLECTION LOSS

As noted previously, the subject currently has 23 vacant units indicating an occupancy

level of 93%. Historically, the property has maintained occupancies in the low to mid 90’s and

the comparables are mostly experiencing occupancies ranging from the mid 80’s to mid 90’s.

The subject is able to outperform the market as it has smaller units and corresponding lower

rents relative to the market. We used a combined physical vacancy and collection loss of 8%

in our analysis. This is discussed in more detail in the market analysis section of this report.

EXPENSE ANALYSIS

In deriving an estimate of net income, it is necessary to consider various expenses and

allowances ascribable to the operation of a property of this type. Operating statements for the

2007, 2008, and 2009 were provided and are summarized on the following page. In addition,we were provided a 2010 operating budget prepared by the selling broker. In estimating

expenses and allowances, we gave primary consideration to the actual operating expenses of

the subject. In addition, we also reviewed industry standard expenses as published in the

2009 edition of the Income/Expense Analysis – Conventional Apartments published by IREM

(Institute of Real Estate Management).

The subjects consolidated historical operating data and IREM data are summarized in

the following charts. Historical operating data for each property is presented in the addenda.

Real Estate Taxes

As discussed in the Property Analysis, actual 2009 taxes were $76,005 or $217 per

unit. We used a rounded $77,000 in our analysis, or $220 per unit.

Insurance

IREM indicates a range of $177 to $216 per unit, and a median of $324 per unit for the

Southeast Region, but a median of $347 per unit for Jacksonville. Although insurance rates

have been falling in recant years, subsequent to the dramatic rise resulting from the 04/05

hurricanes the property has had claims. During 2007, 2008, and 2009 historical insurance

expenses for the subject were $474, $322, and $235, respectively. The 2010 budget

indicates $234 per unit. Based on the above we used $250 per unit in our analysis.

Income Capitalization Approach

Management Fee

Management expense for an apartment complex is typically negotiated on a percent of

collected revenues (effective gross income, or EGI). This percentage typically ranges from

3.0% to 5.0%, depending on the size of the complex and its position in the market. In other

words, a large, upscale property might be managed at the lower end of the cost range.Similarly, a very small apartment complex requires minimal, part-time management.

IREM indicates a range of 3.0% to 4.3%, and a median of 3.7% for the Southeast

Region. This equates to a range of $282 to $413 per unit, and a median of $282 per unit.

Historically, the subject has not incurred management expenses, but the 2010 budget

prepared by the selling broker indicates 3% and $166 per unit. Based on the above, we used

a management fee expense of 5.0% of EGI, which equates to $258 per unit. .

Utilities

This expense covers all energy costs related to the leasing office, vacant units, and

common areas, including exterior lighting. It also typically includes trash removal and

water/sewer costs for apartments. In the subject's case, all utilities except water/sewer are

separately metered.

The IREM chart indicates that total annual utilities expenses generally range from

$358 to $698 per unit, and the median is $542 per unit. Utility expenses can vary widely by

location and property condition and the IREM indications are as likely to be a reliable indicator

as the historical figures. During 2007, 2008, and 2009 historical utilities expenses for the

subject were $358, $358 and $602 per unit, respectively. The 2010 budget indicates $492 perunit. We used $500 per unit in our analysis.

Salaries and Labor

This expense covers all payroll and labor expenses, including direct and indirect

expenses. The taxes and benefits portion of this expense also includes the employer's portion

of social security taxes, group health insurance and workman's comp insurance. In addition,

employees typically incur overtime pay at times.

The IREM expense chart reflects combined salaries and administrative expenses in arange of $892 to $1,661 per unit, and the median is $1,263 per unit for the Southeast Region.

However, IREM reports a median of $1,183 for Fort Lauderdale. During 2007, 2008, and

2009 historical salaries and labor expenses for the subject were $669, $471, and $700 per

unit, respectively. The 2010 budget indicates $768 per unit. We used $750 per unit in our

analysis.

Income Capitalization Approach

31

Maintenance and Repairs

This expense category includes the cost of minor repairs to the apartment units,

including painting and redecorating. Interior maintenance amounts to cleaning, electrical

repairs, exterminating, contract labor for painting, and plumbing repairs. Exterior maintenance

amounts to painting, and replacement or repairs to parking lots, roofs, windows, doors, etc.Maintenance and repairs expenses vary considerably from complex to complex and from year

to year due to scheduling of repairs and accounting procedures. Apartment owners often list

replacement items under "maintenance and repairs" for more advantageous after-tax

considerations.

Data obtained from IREM reports a range of $256 to $588 with a median of $389 for

combined maintenance & repairs and painting & redecorating. During 2007, 2008, and 2009

historical maintenance and repairs expenses for the subject were $371, $292 and $327 per

unit, respectively. The 2010 budget indicates $511 per unit. Given that these figures likely

include landscaping and amenities costs, which we consider in a separate category, they arelikely somewhat low for appropriate long term maintenance and repairs. We used $400 per

unit in our analysis.

Landscaping and Amenities

Landscaping, or grounds maintenance, includes normal grounds landscaping and

maintenance. Routine pool maintenance is typically performed by the maintenance personnel

at larger complexes. IREM indicates a range of $209 to $354 per unit, and a median of $271

per unit for the Southeastern region. During 2007, 2008, and 2009 historical landscaping

expenses for the subject were $0, $0 and $109 per unit, respectively. The 2010 budget doesnot include landscaping. These costs are likely included in maintenance and repairs. The

property has some amenities and the landscaping is limited and very basic. In addition, the

property does enjoy some operating cost savings due to its lack of interior streets, as it is

served by city streets. Still, some ongoing expense would be anticipated. Based on this, we

used $100 per unit in our analysis, which seems more appropriate for the subject given its

limited grounds maintenance requirements and limited amenities.

Advertising and Promotion

This expense category accounts for placement of advertising, commissions, signage,

brochures, and newsletters. Advertising and promotion costs are generally closely tied to

occupancy. If occupancy is considered high and the market is stable, then the need for

advertising is not as significant. However, if occupancy is considered to be low or occupancy

tends to fluctuate, then advertising becomes much more critical. IREM does not separately

report advertising expenses. During 2007, 2008, and 2009 historical advertising and

Income Capitalization Approach

33

CAPITALIZATION OF NET OPERATING INCOME

Generally, the best method of estimating an appropriate overall rate is through an

analysis of recent sales in the market. The following table summarizes capitalization rates

extracted from the apartment sales presented in the sales comparison approach.

Capitalization rates reflect the relationship between net operating income and the

value of receiving that current and probable future income stream during a certain projection

period or remaining economic life. In selecting an appropriate capitalization rate for the

subject, we considered those rates indicated by recent sales of properties which are similar to

the subject with regard to risk and duration of income, quality and condition of improvements,

and remaining economic life. Primary factors that influence overall rates include potential for

income increases over both the near and long terms, as well as appreciation potential.

Adjustments for dissimilar factors that influence the utility and/or marketability of a

property, such as specific location within a market area; land/building ratio; functional

efficiency, quality, and condition of improvements; and specific features of the building and

land improvements, are inherently reflected by the market in the form of varying market rent

levels. As rent levels form the basis for net income levels, the market has, in effect, already

made the primary adjustments required for those factors, and any significant adjustments to

overall rates based upon these dissimilarities would merely distort the market data.

All of the comparables are located in Jacksonville, Florida. The transactions are

composed of five sales that occurred between February 2009 and January 2010. The

properties were built between 1967 and 2002. They range in size from 68 to 400 units and

have an average unit size range of 889 to 1,169 square feet. The sales have overallcapitalization rates from 6.50% to 10.25%, with an average of 8.40%. The low end of the

range is indicated by the newest property and the high end is indicated by the smallest.

The 1st  Quarter 2010 Korpacz Real Estate Investor Survey  prepared by Price-

property is likely a non-institutional grade property. We also examined the 1st Quarter 2010

investor survey from RealtyRates.com, which indicates that current overall capitalization rates

range from 5.04% to 13.71%, with an average of 9.32% for all types of Apartments.

Based on all these considerations and considering the location of the subject, we are

of the opinion that the typical investor would select an overall rate of between 8.00% and

9.00% for use in this analysis.

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH

35

The sales comparison approach provides an estimate of market value based on an

analysis of recent transactions involving similar properties in the subject's or comparable

market areas. This method is based on the premise that an informed purchaser will pay no

more for a property than the cost of acquiring an equally desirable substitute. When there are

an adequate number of sales involving truly similar properties, with sufficient information forcomparison, a range of value for the subject can be developed. In the analysis of sales,

considerations for such factors as changing market conditions over time, location, size,

quality, age/condition, and amenities, as well as the terms of the transactions, are all

significant variables relating to the relative marketability of the subject property. Any

adjustments to the sale price of comparables to provide indications of market value for the

subject must be market-derived; thus, the actions of typical buyers and sellers are reflected in

the comparison process.

There are various units of comparison available in the evaluation of sales data. The

sale price per unit and effective gross income multiplier (EGIM) are most commonly used forapartments. Analyses of both are presented in this section.

We discovered five recent comparable sales in Jacksonville. The summary chart

IMPROVED SALES SUMMARY

 

DISCUSSION OF THE COMPARABLE SALES

All of the comparables are located in Jacksonville, Florida. The transactions arecomposed of five sales that occurred between February 2009 and January 2010. The

properties were built between 1967 and 2002. They range in size from 68 to 400 units and

have an average unit size range of 889 to 1,169 square feet. The sales have overall

capitalization rates from 6.50% to 10.25%, with an average of 8.40%. The low end of the

capitalization rate range is indicated by the newest property and the high end is indicated by

the smallest. The sales price per unit range is $31,250 to $95,000and the corresponding NOI

per unit ranges from $2,400 to $6,175. Reported effective gross income multipliers range 5.51

to 5.56, but this information was only available on two of the comparables.

SALE PRICE PER UNIT/NOI ANALYSIS (AS STABILIZED)

While some general observations can be made, isolating physical and locational

adjustments in the comparison of income producing comparable sales can be very subjective.

This is particularly true when the comparables are drawn from different locations. Most

investors believe that all these factors are already accounted for in the rental that an income

property can achieve and, thus, place most reliance upon net income characteristics as the

basis for adjustment. This is based upon the assumption that tenants shop and compare, and

rent paid in the open market automatically reflects differences in the age and condition of

improvements, location, construction, size, amenities, and various other factors.

As shown on the previous summary chart, the comparables indicate a range of sale

price per unit from $31,250 to $95,000. This range generally indicates a direct relationship

between net income and sales prices, i.e., the higher the net income the higher the sale price

per unit. As noted above, NOI levels of the comparables range from $2,400 to $6,175. The

low end of the range is indicated by the comparable with the lowest per-unit price. This

suggests that at the subject’s lower projected stabilized income levels, the subject's value

likely lies below the price per unit range indicated by the comparables.

To further illustrate, we analyzed the net operating income (NOI) generated by each

comparable as compared to the subject’s projected stabilized income that is estimated in the

income capitalization approach. Basically, by developing a ratio between the subject’s and

the comparable’s net operating income, an adjustment factor can be calculated for each of the

individual sales. This factor can then be applied to the comparable’s price per unit to render

indications for the subject. This process illustrates an attempt to isolate the economic

reasoning of buyers. In general, it is a fundamental assumption that the physical

characteristics of a project (location, access, design/appeal, condition, etc.) are reflected in the

net operating income being generated, and that the resulting price per unit paid for a property

has a direct relationship to the net operating income being generated.

The chart below depicts the calculations involved in developing adjustment factors tobe applied to the respective price per unit for the comparables employed.

After adjustment, this analysis indicates a price per unit range for the subject from

$21,223 to $33,250 per unit, with a mean of $26,607. Sale One required the least adjustment

and indicated an adjusted price of $28,438. Considering the above, we estimate the value of

the subject within a range of $25,000 to $30,000 per unit. Our estimate of value for the

subject property, based on a price per unit method is shown below.

EFFECTIVE GROSS INCOME MULTIPLIER ANALYSIS (AS STABILIZED)

EGIM is the other applicable unit of comparison used in this analysis. It establishes

the relationship between the effective gross income of a property and its sale price. Effective

gross income is the total annual amount that a property would produce after deductions for

vacancy and credit loss. This is a reliable yardstick of comparison when extracted from

market data that exhibits a high degree of uniformity, particularly with respect to location, risk,

age, financing, anticipated vacancy, and expense ratios.

EGIM analysis is most appropriate when operating expense ratios (OER) of the

comparables are similar. Typically, the lower the expense ratio, the higher the EGIM will be.

Conversely, a higher expense ratio will result in a lower multiplier.

Our comparables indicated effective gross income multipliers (EGIM) ranging from

5.51 to 5.56, but this information was only available on two of the comparables. Our estimate

of income and expenses for the subject property resulted in an expense ratio of 58%, which is

at the high end of the range indicated by the comparables, 37% to 58%. In theory then, the

approximate EGIM for the subject should be at the lower end or below the range. This EGIM

analysis generally possesses the inverse relationship between the OER’s and EGIM’s. After

consideration of the comparable sales, and the indications of expense ratio and EGIM from

each, we estimate the appropriate EGIM for the subject should be 5.5.

Sales Price Per Unit Analysis $9,500,000

Effective Gross Income Multiplier Analysis $9,500,000

Both methods of analysis are commonly used in the market and each provides amutually supportive value indication. However, the sales price per unit analysis is typically

seen as being less subjective and therefore more reliable. Therefore, we conclude an

estimate of value at $9,500,000, or $27,143 per unit.

RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE ESTIMATES

39

We were asked to estimate the “as is” market value of the fee simple interest in the

site and existing improvements for the subject property. We used two of the three traditional

methods of analysis in this appraisal of the fee simple interest in the subject apartment

complexes. These methods include the sales comparison and income approaches to value.

In our opinion, the sales comparison and income approaches are applicable to this

analysis because: ample market data was available for analysis; and because the subject is

an income producing property that can be traded in the market, based on its ability to produce

cash flow and a resulting yield.

Our analysis produced the following value indications.

FINAL VALUE ESTIMATESWillow Lakes

Approach Value Estimate

Income Approach $9,000,000

Sales Comparison Approach $9,500,000

As shown, the sales comparison and income capitalization approaches indicate a fairly

narrow range of value for the subject. Given that the subject is an income producing property

that would be bought and sold with that in mind, the income approach is the most reliable

methodology. Our concluded opinion of fee simple value is as follows:

Estimate of “As Is” Market Value of the Fee Simple Interest in the Willow LakesApartments, as of March 3, 2010

NINE MILLION DOLLARS$9,000,000

Our value estimates are subject to the assumptions and limiting conditions stated

throughout the report.

We did not examine a title report and make norepresentations relative to the condition thereof. Documents dealing with liens, encumbrances, easements,deed restrictions, clouds and other conditions that may affect the quality of title were not reviewed.Insurance against financial loss resulting in claims that may arise out of defects in the subject property’s title

should be sought from a qualified title company that issues or insures title to real property.

2. We assume that improvements are constructed or will be constructed according to approved architecturalplans and specifications and in conformance with recommendations contained in or based upon any soilsreport(s).

3. Unless otherwise noted in the body of this report, we assumed: that any existing improvements on theproperty or properties being appraised are structurally sound, seismically safe and code conforming; that allbuilding systems (mechanical/electrical, HVAC, elevator, plumbing, etc.) are, or will be upon completion, ingood working order with no major deferred maintenance or repair required; that the roof and exterior are ingood condition and free from intrusion by the elements; that the property or properties have beenengineered in such a manner that it or they will withstand any known elements such as windstorm,hurricane, tornado, flooding, earthquake, or similar natural occurrences; and, that the improvements, ascurrently constituted, conform to all applicable local, state, and federal building codes and ordinances. We

are not engineers and are not competent to judge matters of an engineering nature.

Unless otherwise noted in thebody of the report no problems were brought to our attention by ownership or management. We were notfurnished any engineering studies by the owners or by the party requesting this appraisal. If questions inthese areas are critical to the decision process of the reader, the advice of competent engineeringconsultants should be obtained and relied upon. It is specifically assumed that any knowledgeable andprudent purchaser would, as a precondition to closing a sale, obtain a satisfactory engineering report relativeto the structural integrity of the property and the integrity of building systems. Structural problems and/orbuilding system problems may not be visually detectable. If engineering consultants retained should reportnegative factors of a material nature, or if such are later discovered, relative to the condition ofimprovements, such information could have a substantial negative impact on the conclusions reported in thisappraisal. Accordingly, if negative findings are reported by engineering consultants, we reserve the right toamend the appraisal conclusions reported herein.

4. All furnishings, equipment and business operations, except as specifically stated and typically considered aspart of real property, have been disregarded with only real property being considered in the appraisal. Anyexisting or proposed improvements, on- or off-site, as well as any alterations or repairs considered, areassumed to be completed in a workmanlike manner according to standard practices based upon informationsubmitted. This report may be subject to amendment upon re-inspection of the subject property subsequentto repairs, modifications, alterations and completed new construction. Any estimate of Market Value is as ofthe date indicated; based upon the information, conditions and projected levels of operation.

5. We assume that all factual data furnished by the client, property owner, owner’s representative, or personsdesignated by the client or owner to supply said data are accurate and correct unless otherwise noted in theappraisal report. We have no reason to believe that any of the data furnished contain any material error.Information and data referred to in this paragraph include, without being limited to, numerical streetaddresses, lot and block numbers, Assessor’s Parcel Numbers, land dimensions, square footage area of theland, dimensions of the improvements, gross building areas, net rentable areas, usable areas, unit count,

room count, rent schedules, income data, historical operating expenses, budgets, and related data. Anymaterial error in any of the above data could have a substantial impact on the conclusions reported. Thus,we reserve the right to amend our conclusions if errors are revealed. Accordingly, the client-addresseeshould carefully review all assumptions, data, relevant calculations, and conclusions within 30 days after thedate of delivery of this report and should immediately notify us of any questions or errors.

6. The date of value to which any of the conclusions and opinions expressed in this report apply, is set forth inthe Letter of Transmittal. Further, that the dollar amount of any value opinion herein rendered is based uponthe purchasing power of the American Dollar on that date. This appraisal is based on market conditionsexisting as of the date of this appraisal. Under the terms of the engagement, we will have no obligation torevise this report to reflect events or conditions which occur subsequent to the date of the appraisal.

Assumptions And Limiting Conditions 

However, we will be available to discuss the necessity for revision resulting from changes in economic ormarket factors affecting the subject.

7. We assume no private deed restrictions, limiting the use of the subject property in any way.

8. Unless otherwise noted in the body of the report, we assume that there are no mineral deposits orsubsurface rights of value involved in this appraisal, whether they be gas, liquid, or solid. Nor are the rights

associated with extraction or exploration of such elements considered unless otherwise stated in thisappraisal report. Unless otherwise stated we also assumed that there are no air or development rights ofvalue that may be transferred.

9. We are not aware of any contemplated public initiatives, governmental development controls, or rentcontrols that would significantly affect the value of the subject.

10. The estimate of Market Value, which may be defined within the body of this report, is subject to change withmarket fluctuations over time. Market value is highly related to exposure, time promotion effort, terms,motivation, and conclusions surrounding the offering. The value estimate(s) consider the productivity andrelative attractiveness of the property, both physically and economically, on the open market.

11. Unless specifically set forth in the body of the report, nothing contained herein shall be construed torepresent any direct or indirect recommendation to buy, sell, or hold the properties at the value stated. Such

decisions involve substantial investment strategy questions and must be specifically addressed inconsultation form.

12. Unless otherwise noted in the body of this report, we assume that no changes in the present zoningordinances or regulations governing use, density, or shape are being considered.
