Code of Federal Regulations, Title 12, as amended by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board.
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 22
(1) ‘As Is’ means 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, or qualifications as of the date of appraisal.
(2) ‘Value as Complete’ or ‘Value Upon Completion’ means the market value of
a property with all proposed construction, conversion, or rehabilitation
hypothetically completed, or under other specified hypothetical conditions as of the
date of appraisal. With regard to properties wherein anticipated market conditions
indicate that stabilized occupancy is not likely as of the date of completion, this
estimate of value shall reflect the market value of the property as if complete and
prepared for occupancy by tenants.
(3) ‘Prospective Future Value Upon Completion’ means the prospective future
value of a property on the date that construction is completed, based upon market
conditions forecast to exist as of that completion date.
The purpose of the appraisal analysis was to develop an opinion of the Current Market
Value of the Fee Simple interest in the subject property 'As Is’, as of the effective date,
December 13, 2019.
The following are the pertinent dates to the valuation, viewing, and appraisal reporting of
the subject property:
Definition of Value
The definition of ‘Market Value’, as defined by the Office of the Comptroller of
Currency (OCC) under 12 CFR, Part 34, Subpart C-Appraisals, 34.42 Definitions, the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRS) and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation in compliance with Title XI of FIRREA, as well as by the
Uniform Standards of Appraisal Practice as promulgated by the Appraisal Foundation, is
as follows.
Market value means the most probable price which 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 passing of title from
seller to buyer under conditions whereby,
2. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what
they consider their own best interest;
5. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold
unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions
granted by anyone associated with the sale.
Racial, religious, and ethnic factors are deemed unreliable predictors of value trends or
price variance.

“A 100-year flood is a flood that has a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in
any given year. A base flood may also be referred to as a 100-year storm and the area
inundated during the base flood is sometimes called the 100-year flood plain.
The term "100-year flood" is misleading. It is not the flood that will occur once every 100
years. Rather, it is the flood elevation that has a 1- percent chance of being equaled or
exceeded each year. Thus, the 100-year flood could occur more than once in a relatively
short period of time. The 100-year flood, which is the standard used by most Federal and
state agencies, is used by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) as the standard
for floodplain management and to determine the need for flood insurance. A structure
located within a special flood hazard area shown on an NFIP map has a 26 percent
chance of suffering flood damage during the term of a 30-year mortgage.
Zone VE
Zone VE is the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the 100-year
coastal floodplains that have additional hazards associated with storm
waves. BFEs derived from the detailed hydraulic analyses are shown at
selected intervals within this zone. Mandatory flood insurance purchase
requirements apply.
Zones B, C, and X are the flood insurance rate zones that correspond to
areas outside the 100-year floodplains, areas of 100-year sheet flow
flooding where average depths are less than 1 foot, areas of 100-year
stream flooding where the contributing drainage area is less than 1
square mile, or areas protected from the 100-year flood by levees. No
BFEs or depths are shown within this zone.”

Zoning Description
The subject property is zoned R-3, Multi-Family Residential District by the City of
Niceville.
The R-3 district is a cumulative zoning district established to provide locations for
multiple family dwelling units and mobile home parks. Any use permitted within the R-2
(one and multiple family dwelling district) is also permitted. Permissible uses include
multiple family dwellings up to 15 dwelling units per acre, including apartment buildings,
boarding houses and tourist homes.
Allowable non-residential uses include hospitals, professional offices for medical and
dental clinics, attorneys, engineers & architects, nursing and convalescent homes, nursery
schools, child care centers and churches.
Based on the allowable density of 15 dwelling units per acre, the subject 4.84 acre site
‘As If Vacant’ would allow a maximum of 72 units. The subject property consists of 62
residential attached units, therefore the property is within the allowable density per
zoning.
Zoning Map
The property appraiser is responsible for identifying, locating, and fairly valuing all
property, both real and personal, within the county for tax purposes. The ‘market’ value
of real property is based on the current real estate market, and is determined by market
participants. The property appraiser has the legal responsibility to study the transactions
of market participants and appraise real property accordingly.
At least once every three years, the county property appraiser or a staff appraiser will
visit and inspect each property. Additionally, individual property values may be
adjusted between visits in light of sales activity or other factors affecting real estate
values in the subject neighborhood. Sales of similar properties are typically used as
strong indicators of value in the real estate market.
Each August, the Property Appraiser sends a "Notice of Proposed Taxes," to all property
owners to notify them of the taxable value of their property. Taxable value is the
assessed value less any exemptions. The TRIM notice also gives information on
proposed millage rates and taxes as estimated by community taxing authorities, and when
and where these taxing authorities will hold public meetings to discuss tentative budgets
to set your millage tax rates.
The property appraiser only assesses all property in the county and is neither a taxing
authority nor a tax collector. Three separate government entities, each having unique and
distinct roles, determine the tax bill of any property in their jurisdiction.
First the property appraiser annually appraises all property in their respective
county at the market value as of January 1 each year.
Second, each taxing authority within the county sets their own millage rate based
on the amount of tax dollars necessary to fund their annual budget.
Finally, the tax collector takes the amount of taxes due in order to bill and collect
all taxes levied within the county.

Overview
Okaloosa County, FL
Location:
Okaloosa County is located in the Florida panhandle west of Walton County and east of
Santa Rosa County. It contains an area of approximately 936 square miles, or 5100,000
acres, of which 267,000 acres (45%) are held by the federal government and 61,000 acres
(10%) are held by the State of Florida. As depicted by the darker beige color on the
above map, a large proportion of the land area of Okaloosa County is encompassed by
Eglin Air Force Base.
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 57
This large military–controlled land area essentially bisects Okaloosa County into two
sections; the southern section is comprised of the greater Fort Walton Beach area, and the
cities of Niceville and Destin, while the northern section is comprised of the city of
Crestview and surrounding areas. In general, development in the southern end of the
county is of a higher density than in the northern part of the county, where the abundance
of land allows for lower densities. The county seat is Crestview.
Geography
Elevations range from sea level to 235 feet above sea level. According to the U.S.
Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 2,802 km² (1,082 mi²). 2,423 km² (936 mi²)
of it is land and 379 km² (146 mi²) of it (13.53%) is water. Fort Walton Beach and two
United States Air Force bases (Eglin AFB and Hurlburt Field) are located in the south.
Okaloosa County is the sole county in the Fort Walton Beach-Crestview-Destin
Metropolitan Statistical Area.
History
Okaloosa County was created in 1915. It took the Legislature several years to approve
the creation of Okaloosa County from parts of Santa Rosa and Walton Counties. On
September 7, 1915 the issue was settled. Credit was given to state representative, W.H.
Mapoles from Laurel Hill, later known as the ‘Daddy of Okaloosa County.’ Milligan was
made the temporary county seat and on March 6, 1917 a county election made Crestview
the permanent county seat. Crestview was named because it is located on the crest of a
high ridge on the forks of the Shoal and Yellow Rivers. The 1920 census of the county
gave a county population of 9,360 persons. Okaloosa reaches from the Alabama state
line to the Gulf of Mexico. The county was formed by taking 12 miles in width from
Santa Rosa and Walton counties and is 24 miles wide and 40 miles long and contains 998
square miles.3
Prior to World War II the county was oriented around rural endeavors. Timber, farming,
and isolated fishing camps were the main economic forces (excluding Prohibition era
stills, alcohol import, and carry-over gambling). The varied exigencies of the war
resulted in the federal forests being consumed by military needs and expanded. This has
continued to the present, and spawned the initial growth and development of the southern
portion of the county. Today, the south part of the county is a mosaic of military land,
unincorporated communities and incorporated entities. Most of the growth in Okaloosa
County has been in the southeastern end of the county along the beaches and in
Crestview in the north end. Areas such as Fort Walton Beach have very little vacant land
available for development.

A November 2017 article in the Northwest Florida Daily News7 describes a 52 acre
mixed use parcel at 1900 Lewis Turner Boulevard currently going through the approval
process with the City Council of Ft. Walton Beach. The project’s rendering, known as
“Freedom Beacon Park” depicts about 300 multi-family units, a 102-room hotel, 55,000
SF of retail/commercial space, 160,000 SF of office space and a 4-acre central commons
area. The site is located on an acreage parcel leased from Eglin Air Force Base on a 50-
year ground lease.
New developments8 in the Destin, Florida area include “1900-Ninety-Eight,” a luxury 16-
unit condo complex constructed in 2017 on Scenic Highway 98 in Destin, and a Whole
Foods grocery store added in 2016 to Destin Commons. Landmark Center developed and
opened a 112 room Hilton hotel called Hilton Garden Inns in 2017, which also contains
commercial and recreational spaces, as well as 24 loft -style apartments at 223 Miracle
Strip Parkway in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. The Jay Odom Group9 has constructed an
80,000 SF, multi-story Class A office and retail building known as JG Plaza in Ft. Walton
Beach and added many national franchises to their recently acquired and renovated
255,000 SF Uptown Station Shopping Center of Ft. Walton Beach in 2016 and 2017,
including a Starbucks, Zaxby’s and Baskin Robbins as built-to-suit outparcels.
The uses in North Okaloosa County are primarily residential with a trend toward large
homesteads with farming and agricultural use. Additionally, much of North Okaloosa
County is within the boundary of the Blackwater River State Forest, as area set aside for
recreation and conservation, where development will not be occurring.

ENVIRONMENTAL FORCES
Climate
As previously mentioned, Crestview is the County Seat of Okaloosa County and is
representative of the County. The illustration below shows the annual average
temperature of climate conditions in Crestview are generally mild and warm with
temperatures ranging from an average overnight low in January of 37 degrees to 92
degrees in July11. Average rainfall ranges from a low of 3.90” in October to a high in the
month of July when the average rainfall is about 7.17”.

Transportation Systems
Okaloosa County is traversed by Interstate 10 which runs east to west. State Highways
include Highway 4, Highway 90, Highway 98 (east / west) as well as Highway 85 (north
/ south).
Airports in Okaloosa County include Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport and Bob Sikes
Airport. There are no train stops in Okaloosa County, although there is discussion of
reinstating Amtrak train service, which had a stop in Crestview before Hurricane Katrina
interrupted service in 2005.
Immediate Area
Like most coastal counties in the panhandle of Florida, Okaloosa County development is
driven by tourism and its proximity to military bases. Tourist attractions are limited to
the beaches of Destin and Ft. Walton Beach along the Gulf of Mexico. Military
installations in Okaloosa County include Hulbert Field, Eglin Air Force Base and Duke
Field.
In summary, it appears that Okaloosa County is ahead of the rest of the state of Florida
for projected growth in Population, Households, Families, and Owner Housing Units.
The following data extracted from the CCIM Site to Do Business outlines the projected
and present demographics and market area information for the 1-3-5 mile rings from
the subject location.

The definition of ‘highest and best use’ is presented unabridged in the definitions section
of this report. However, in brief, highest and best use refers to the reasonably probable
and legal use of vacant land or an improved property, which is legally permissible,
physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the
highest value, i.e. maximally productive.12
Objective analysis and interpretation of market data leads to an informed opinion of that
use. However, the estimate of highest and best use should not be interpreted as a
provable fact. A typical highest and best analysis evaluation process and pertinent
questions which aid in the elimination of possible alternatives are presented below.
1. Permissible Use. What uses are permitted by zoning and other legal restrictions?
What are the land use controls that will govern the site? Uses that are legally
permissible are those allowed under current or likely zoning and those that could
meet building codes. In addition, local communities may have restrictions on
public utility loads, traffic creation, access restrictions, and so on, all of which
must be considered when selecting legally permissible uses
2. Physically Possible Use. To what use is the site physically adaptable? What is an
appropriate improvement given architectural / engineer study? Unless prohibited
by soil or subsoil problems or land size constraints, it is physically possible to
place most potential improvements on the site. Usually this test, if performed first
or second, will not significantly reduce the number of potential uses.
3. Feasible Use. Which possible and permissible use will produce any net return to
the owner of the site? Should the land be developed, and if so, what kind of
improvement should be built? If an improvement should be constructed, what is
the type and characteristics of an ideal improvement?
Uses that are considered economically or financially feasible are those that
potentially would logically produce net operating income and net resale price
levels high enough to adequately support construction of the potential
improvement and provide the investor with a reasonable profit. Implicit to this
analysis is that riskier projects require higher profit levels to induce potential
developers to undertake the burden of coordination of land, labor and capital.
12
The Appraisal of Real Estate, Fourteenth Edition
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 69
(i.e., the highest present worth)? If there are existing improvements on the
property should they be maintained in their current state or should they be altered
to more closely resemble the ideal improvement?
Although these criteria are generally evaluated sequentially, the resulting conclusion of
highest and best use should be identical regardless of the order of application of the
above tests.
Implied within this definition is that the estimation of the highest and best use for a
particular property results from the appraisers' judgment and analytical skill with respect
to the market for that particular property.
However, the highest and best use of a specific parcel of land is not just a matter of
subjective opinion; rather, highest and best use is indicated by supply and demand forces
within the market where the property is located, availability of capital, supply of
alternative investments, need for additional products or services within a community, and
other factors.
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 70
The highest and best use ‘As If Vacant’ recognizes among all reasonable, alternative
uses, the use that yields the highest present land value after payments are made for labor,
capital, and entrepreneurial coordination.13
We have evaluated the most probable uses for the subject parcel, ‘As If Vacant’ given the
current market for residential medium density land and recent development activity in the
subject market area.
Legally Permissible
The subject property is zoned R-3, Multi-Family Residential Zoning District by the City
of Niceville. Allowable non-residential uses include hospitals, professional offices for
medical & dental clinics, attorneys, engineers & architects, nursing and convalescent
homes, nursery schools and child care centers, churches.
The maximum allowable density by current zoning is 15 dwelling units per acre allowing
a maximum of 72 dwelling units on the subject 4.84 acre site ‘As If Vacant’ (4.84 acres x
15 allowable units per acre = 72.6).
We are unaware of any private deed restrictions which would further limit use of the
subject parcel(s) beyond those uses restricted by the current zoning designation.
Thus, use of the subject property for a variety multi-family residential and commercial
development is considered legally permissible.
Physically Possible
The subject property is essentially level, well drained, and at road grade. Soil and subsoil
conditions nearby appear compatible with residential commercial development. All
utilities required for commercial and residential use are presently at the site.
The size and dimensions of the site are sufficient to allow a wide variety of legally
permissible uses. The shape of the site is rectangular and the dimensions are adequate to
support commercial/residential development and the shape does not limit utility.
Transportation of construction materials or labor to the site is estimated to be relatively
simple due to the central location of the site within the overall market. Access and
visibility to the site is good from College Boulevard.
13
The Appraisal of Real Estate, Fourteenth Edition
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 71
Financially Feasible
Multifamily residential development is legally permissible and physically possible for the
subject site, and the proximity of the state college makes complementary uses in support
of this institution the most likely use of the subject property.
This characteristic of the subject combined with the subject’s location on a secondary
arterial roadway in an area of surrounding predominantly residential improvements
provides an inherent market for multifamily residential development, as this would be a
complimentary transitional use in support of neighboring properties. Market conditions
are stable in the subject market area.
Therefore, it is the opinion of the appraiser that the most financially feasible use of the
subject property ‘As if Vacant’ is for medium density residential development to a
configuration which utilizes the site to its maximum potential.
Maximally Productive
Considering the legally permissible, physically possible, and financially feasible uses for
the subject site, we consider multi-family development on the subject 4.84 acre site to be
the maximally productive use of the land.
The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Fourth Edition defines the highest and best use
‘As Is’ is the use that should be made of a property as it exists. An existing improvement
should be renovated or retained as is so long as it continues to contribute to the total
market value of the property, or until the return from a new improvement would more
than offset the cost of demolishing the existing building and constructing a new one.
Legally Permissible
The subject property is zoned R-3, Multi-Family Residential Zoning District by the City
of Niceville. Allowable non-residential uses include hospitals, professional offices for
medical & dental clinics, attorneys, engineers & architects, nursing and convalescent
homes, nursery schools and child care centers, churches.
The maximum allowable density by current zoning is 15 dwelling units per acre allowing
a maximum of 72 dwelling units on the subject 4.84 acre site ‘As If Vacant’
(4.84x15=72.6); therefore, the subject 62 units are within the allowable threshold.
We are unaware of any private deed restrictions which would further limit use of the
subject parcel(s) beyond those uses restricted by the current zoning designation.
Physically Possible
The subject improvements consist of eight multi-family apartment buildings which house
62 residential units, plus one additional support structure: an office with coin-operated
laundry facility/office/maintenance building. All utilities required for multifamily use are
on site. The property features surface parking sufficient for the current use. All
improvements are adequately situated on the site and, thus, are considered to be
physically possible.
Thus, continued use of the subject in the current configuration as a multi-family property
is physically possible 'As Is', with ongoing maintenance and updating of the residential
units as necessary.
14
The Appraisal of Real Estate, Fourteenth Edition
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 73
Financially Feasible
Demand for multi-family improvements in the market area is considered to be stable to
appreciating, with the potential for increased financial return as market conditions are
anticipated to improve alongside improvement in the residential and commercial sectors
of the market.
According to the rent roll provided by the Client, approximately 100% of the rental
housing was occupied in October 2019 and the student athlete housing is typically
occupied on a seasonal/school year basis providing definitive evidence of the financial
feasibility of the subject ‘As Is’ at this location for residential rental use.
Overall occupancy in the market for apartments is good, and population and job growth
in the area is anticipated to create stable demand for such properties in the future. As
such, continued use of the improvements as an apartment complex is deemed financially
feasible.
The value opinion derived from the Sales Comparison and Income approaches to value
each indicate that the existing building improvements 'As Is' contribute significant value
to the underlying land, and the return on investment at the appraised value meets the
threshold for financial feasibility for income-generating investment property.
Therefore, continued use of the subject as a multi-family property for third party tenant
occupancy is deemed financially feasible 'As Is'.
Maximally Productive
The alternatives of addition, demolition, expansion, modernization, or conversion to
alternate uses have been considered within the legal, physical, and financially feasible
parameters. Several alternatives exist, but the alternative of continuing to utilize the
present improvements with continued preventative maintenance is considered to be the
most appropriate option.
Renovation
Recent updating to the subject building improvements was performed in 2007-
2008, with additional updates in the form of exterior building paint and porch
railing repairs in 2019. Appraiser viewing of the interior and exterior of the
improvements revealed overall average condition with no items of deferred
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 74
Downsizing
Downsizing is another option available to a potential purchaser of the subject
property. However, the subject improvements have substantial remaining
economic life and downsizing would diminish current value. We also consider
that the current occupancy of the subject is 100%, ‘As Is’, which is considered
good for the local market, and indicates that the current number of units are being
readily absorbed for occupancy by the local market. Thus, downsizing is not a
viable option for the subject property.
Subdividing
The subject buildings are specifically designed and configured on the subject site
area so as to provide for logical ingress / egress and traffic flow, as well as
adequate unit parking and grassy common areas. The residential units are 1/2/3
bedroom, 1 and 2 bathroom units, with typical kitchen appliances, and washer /
dryer hookup or washer / dryer in unit. Thus, subdividing is not considered to be
a viable option, without extensive renovation / addition of new bathrooms. This
would diminish the unit size below what is typical of the local market.
Demolition
Demolition would extinguish the existing value attributable to the improvements
as indicated in the sales comparison and income approaches to value and no other
use is considered to have the capacity to generate a return high enough to justify
new development and construction at this time.
The appraisal analysis is based on analytical techniques that may encompass anticipation
of costs to be incurred, and benefits to be derived in the future; however, the subject is
appraised as described in this report, including only those assumptions also described in
this report.
This appraisal analysis has been conducted, and the appraisal report was prepared in
conformance with the requirements of Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA).
The depreciated replacement or reproduction cost of the improvements is then added to the
value of the site resulting in a value indication of the fee simple interest in the property.

The Sales Comparison Approach compares sales of similar properties with the subject
property. Each comparable sale is adjusted for its inferior or superior characteristics. The
values derived from the adjusted comparable sales form a range of value for the subject.
By process of correlation and analysis, a final indicated value is derived.
The income approach is recognized as a reliable approach for estimating the value of
‘income producing’ property to an investor. The income approach consists of methods,
techniques, and mathematical procedures that an appraiser utilizes to analyze a property’s
capacity to generate income and convert income into an indication of present value either
by capitalizing the current income at a market capitalization rate, or discounting the
future cash flows into a present value estimate using an appropriate yield (discount) rate.
The appraisal process emulates the actions of the market, and the income approach is
most applicable when the probable buyer would be an investor or prospective owner
occupant. Two techniques associated with the income approach are direct capitalization
and discounted cash flow analysis.
The appraisal process concludes with the Final Reconciliation of the values derived from
the approaches applied to arrive at a single estimate or range of market value opinions.
Different properties require different means of analysis and lend themselves to one
16
The Appraisal of Real Estate, Fourteenth Edition
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 77
approach over the others. As such, in the reconciliation appropriate weight is given to the
most applicable and/or reliable indications of value to arrive at a conclusion.
The appraiser then weighs the relative significance, applicability, and defensibility of
each value indication and relies most heavily on the approach that is most appropriate to
the nature of the appraisal problem.

Valuation Analyses
Cost Approach: The cost approach to value has not been developed in
this appraisal assignment. In consideration of the
current actions of market participants in the local
market, as well as the actual age of the building
improvements, the Cost approach to value is not
considered necessary to the derivation of a credible
value opinion for the subject property ‘As Is’.
Omission of this approach to value is not considered to
negatively affect the credibility of the final value
opinion contained herein.
Improved Sales Comparison The Sales Comparison approach has been utilized in
Approach: this appraisal assignment for the subject property in
'As Is' condition. This valuation considers the Fee
Simple interest.
The Sales Comparison Approach is based on the premise that a buyer would pay no more
for a specific property than the cost of obtaining a property with the same quality, utility,
and perceived benefits of ownership. Integral to the sales comparison approach are the
principals of supply and demand, balance, substitution and externalities. The following
steps describe the applied process of the Sales Comparison Approach.
• The most pertinent data is further analyzed and the quality of the transaction is
determined.
• The most meaningful unit of value for the subject property is determined.
• Each comparable sale is analyzed and, where appropriate, adjusted to equate with
the subject property.
• The value indication of each comparable sale is analyzed and the data reconciled
for a final indication of value via the Sales Comparison Approach.
The Sales Comparison Approach was employed to derive an opinion of the of the subject
property, in ‘As Is’ condition as of December 13, 2019.
Ideally, the subject would be compared to sales of similar properties in the subject market
area which are of the same approximate size, location, utility, and quality as the subject
property. Sales were discovered which were similar to the subject property in these
respects but are not necessarily exactly identical to the subject property. Those
comparables chosen were deemed to be the best available in terms of commonly
compared property characteristics.
Typically, comparable sales are reduced to a unit of comparison. The unit of comparison
represents the unit which is consistently used in the market to derive pricing decisions.
Analysis of sales throughout the subject market area indicate many possible units of
comparison, however, the predominant unit of comparison utilized by market participants
when purchasing property similar to the subject is ‘price per residential unit’.
The unit of comparison utilized in this sales comparison analysis is ‘price per
residential unit’, inclusive of land.

Elements of Comparison
The following ten basic elements of comparison should be considered in sales
comparison analysis:
1.) Real property rights conveyed: fee simple, leased fee, leasehold, fractional
interest, etc.
6.) Location: corner, major traffic artery, city/county, interior lot, etc.
9.) Use: zoning, future land use, building codes, government control, etc.
On the following page is a sales comparison grid displaying the subject property, the
comparables and the adjustments applied.
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 88
Property Rights
This analysis considers the fee simple property rights of the subject. Each
property was conveyed or is anticipated to convey in fee simple ownership by
Warranty Deed instruments. No private deed restrictions have been imposed on
the subject or comparable sales which would limit their utility for use similar to
the subject. As such, no adjustment is necessary to this category of comparison.
Financing
All comparable sales reportedly sold or are anticipated to sell with cash to the
seller and/or cash equivalent financing at market rates. Therefore, no adjustment
for financing was required for these comparables.
Conditions of Sale
All comparable improved sales were arm’s length, ‘normal’ transactions, with no
undue pressure or duress on the part of the seller or purchaser involved in the
comparable sale transaction. No adjustments are necessary to this category of
comparison.
Location
The location of each comparable sale relative to the subject was considered with
respect to proximity to typical neighborhood amenities and major thoroughfares.
Comparables 1 and 4 were deemed inferior and were adjusted upward
accordingly. All remaining comparables are considered to have similar location
characteristics as compared to the subject and no adjustment is necessary.
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 90
Construction
The subject complex features two story wood and concrete frame with vinyl
siding exterior duplex buildings. Each comparable is considered similar to the
subject regarding quality of construction, and as such no adjustment is necessary
to this category of comparison.
Condition
The subject and all comparable sales were contrasted for condition of the
improvements. This line item adjustment is primarily being utilized to account
for differences in condition not directly attributable to long-lived incurable
deterioration, which was adjusted for previously in the age category.
Comparables 1, 3 and 5 were considered inferior with regard to condition and
were adjusted upward. Each remaining comparable is in similar overall condition
as compared to the subject, and no adjustment is necessary to this category of
comparison.
Zoning
The subject property carries a commercial zoning designation which allows for a
wide variety of commercial and residential uses. Each comparable features a
zoning designation which similarly allows for multi-family residential uses, and
as such no adjustment is necessary to this category of comparison.
Functional Utility
The subject property exhibits average overall functional utility for use as a multi-
family residential development. Comparable #3 has superior functional utility
being comprised of 10 each townhome units which are legally saleable to
independent owners. Comparable #5 has inferior functional utility being a
master-metered project without independent power and water metering and was
adjusted upward. Each remaining comparable project is considered similar to the
subject regarding functional utility, and as such no adjustment is necessary to this
category of comparison.
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 91
View / Access
The subject and each of the comparables exhibit average access and visibility
characteristics for a residential development, thus no adjustment is necessary to
this category of comparison.
Amenities
The subject property ‘As Is’ features limited amenities such as typical kitchen
appliances, washer / dryer in unit, or use of the on-site laundry facility, and
central air conditioning units in each unit. Each comparable property is
considered to have similar amenities as compared to the subject, and no
adjustment is necessary to this category of comparison.

Refined Range
Eliminating One
Highest and One
Full Range of Value Lowest Most Similar
The sales comparison analysis indicated a full range of value per unit of the subject property
of between $63,875 and $81,480, with an average of $71,454, and median of $71,367. The
standard deviation for the full range of adjusted sale data was $6,660.
If we refine the range by eliminating the one highest and one lowest adjusted per unit value,
the resulting indicated range of adjusted value per unit is $67,388 to $73,160, with an average
of $70,638 and a median of $71,367. The standard deviation for the refined range was
$2,954.
We consider each comparable analyzed to be a good substitute for the subject property.
Comparables #2, #3 and #4 are considered the most similar as sale #3 is in the Niceville
market and sales 2 and 4 required the lowest gross adjustments of the array, and are therefore
considered the most similar to the subject. The average adjusted per unit value for these most
similar comparables indicates a central tendency of value of approximately $75,000 per unit.
Thus, the final per unit value opinion for the subject property ‘As Is’, as of the effective date
of this appraisal is $75,000 per unit. This is based on the rounded average indicated by the
full and refined range of comparables, with additional weight given to the average of Closed
Comparables #2 and #4, the most similar comparables.
The following chart summarizes the reconciled value for the subject property ‘As Is’ from
our preceding analyses.

Income Approach
The Income Approach to value is based on the principle of anticipation, i.e. the value of
property correlates to the present worth of the future rights to benefits to be received by
the owner. Income approach analysis considers the property from an investor's point of
view, the basic premise being that the amount and quality of the income stream are the
basis for value of the property.
The income approach is applied by projecting a net income stream through analysis of the
subject historical data, comparable property’s income and expense information, and
historical income expense information for similar properties in the subject market area.
The estimated net income is then converted to a value indication utilizing either the
process of direct capitalization analysis, discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis (yield
capitalization), or a combination of these methods.
Applicability: DCF (Yield) analysis is generally used when the net income of the
property is forecast to be variable, when the property is of a sufficient size and
investment value to cause market participants to evaluate purchase decisions
based on DCF, or when specifically requested by the client in an assignment.
Given the nature of the subject property, a discounted cash flow analysis was not
employed in this appraisal analysis, as market participants typically do not utilize DCF
methodology when evaluating purchase decisions for properties such as the subject.
Direct Capitalization
Conversion of a net income to a present value dollar estimate is called
capitalization. Direct capitalization is a method used to convert an estimate of a
single year's income expectancy into an indication of value in one direct step,
either by dividing the income estimate by an appropriate rate or by multiplying
the income estimate by an appropriate factor. This technique employs
capitalization rates and multipliers extracted from sales. Only the first year's
income is considered. Yield and value change are implied, but not identified.

EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 95
Direct Capitalization is utilized in this appraisal given the subject market environment,
the small size of the subject property in the local market, and the tendency for market
participants to use direct capitalization analysis when evaluating purchase decisions
for similar property.
The steps involved in capitalizing the subject's net operating income are as follows:
• Develop the subject's Potential Gross Income (PGI) through analysis of the
subject’s actual historic income and an analysis of competitive current market
income rates.
• Estimate and deduct vacancy and collection losses to develop the Effective Gross
Income (EGI).
• Develop and subtract operating expenses to derive the Net Operating Income
(NOI).
• Divide the net operating income by the capitalization rate for an estimate of value
through the income approach.
In this appraisal, as the interest being appraised is the fee simple interest (i.e. income
stream at market rents) we will primarily concentrate on the position of the currently
contracted income stream as compared to our market-derived estimate of rents and
expenses to the income approach. The income and expense history of the subject
property as provided by the property owner is discussed below.
Thus, per current rent roll, the total potential annual income from contracted apartment
units rental income equates to an annual income of approximately $335,520, and the
property is currently 100% occupied. Monthly rent ranges from $850 to $995, with an
average of $901.94 per month rounded to $902 per month.
A copy of the current rent roll provided is included in the addenda of the report.
Additional Income items such as Nonrefundable Deposits and Late Fees have not been
included in any documents provided. Thus, for purposes of our analysis, we will utilize
an estimated amount of 1.0% of gross rental income for these additional income items.
This is conservative and considers typical additional income items as observed by the
appraiser in the broader market, and the 100% occupancy of the subject.
For the subject 32 units that are student occupied as Raider Housing, we have not been
provided any income, as these units are provided rent free to students of the college.
We note that some of the expenses are higher than typical for the 62 units due to the
owner-paid expenses for Raider Housing which would typically be a tenant cost, such as
Cox Cable, and some of the Electric expenses. We will reduce this expense amount
accordingly.
The expense of Property Taxes is lower than typical, due to the tax-exempt status of the
college ownership entity, over the Raider Housing portion of the subject. We will
increase this expense amount accordingly.
Other expense items such as maintenance, legal and professional fees, and insurance
costs will remain the same.
The expense amount for Management is based on a percentage of gross sales, and
therefore will be self-adjusting in relation to the effective gross income.
We note that for appraisal purposes, the expense line items of Reserves for Replacement
will also be included in the analysis.
We have researched the local market for multi-family properties with unit size,
configuration, and amenities that are similar to the subject, in order to derive an estimated
market rent rate for the subject residential unit type, for comparison with the current rent
roll for the subject ‘As Is’.
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 98
We have also compared the reported expenses with those of comparable properties whose
data is located in our work files, whenever this information was made available, in order
to determine if the reported expenses are typical of the market, and indicative of adequate
management.
The Market Rent analysis is located below and on the following pages.
Market Rent
The appraiser has researched the local market area in order to derive potential subject
market rent. Rents for potential competing projects within the subject market area are
presented following. We have identified several rentals from which to derive market rent
in the general vicinity of the subject.

Rent Comparable #1
Rent Comparable #1 represents the contracted monthly rent rate for multiple 2 Bedroom
1 Bathroom units within a multi-building quadplex development located on John Sims
Parkway South in Valparaiso. These buildings were constructed in 1954, with a younger
effective age due to updating, and are two stories.
Each unit contains approximately 750 SF and are serviced by window air conditioning
units. Contract rent for these units is $795 per month, with the tenant responsible to pay
all utilities directly.
Rent Comparable #2
Rent Comparable #2 represents the contracted monthly rent rate for both 2 Bedroom 1
Bathroom and 1 Bedroom 1 Bathroom unit types within a larger apartment complex on
College Boulevard.
The 1 Bedroom units contain approximately 600 - 700 SF, and contract rent for these
units is $850 - $945 per month. The 2 Bedroom units contain approximately 800 - 817
SF, and contract rent for these units is $875 - $1,050 per month. This rent rate includes
landlord-paid water, sewer, and garbage pickup. This complex includes a swimming
pool, laundry building, and grilling / picnic areas.
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 100
Rent Comparable #3
Rent Comparable #3 represents the contracted monthly rent rate for multiple 2 Bedroom
1.0 Bathroom triplex units located on Hickory Avenue in Niceville.
Each unit contains approximately 754 SF and feature central heat and air conditioning.
Contract rent for these units is $895 per month, with the tenant responsible to pay all
utilities directly, while the landlord pays sewer.
Rent Comparable #4
Rent Comparable #4 represents the contracted monthly rent rate for multiple 3 Bedroom
2 Bathroom townhome units located on 46th Street in Niceville.
Each unit contains approximately 1,230 SF, and feature central heat and air conditioning,
as well as first floor fireplace and in-unit washer and dryer connections. Contract rent for
these units ranges $975 to $1,150 per month, with the tenant responsible to pay all
utilities directly.
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 101
Rent Comparable #5
Rent Comparable #5 represents the contracted monthly rent rate for multiple 1 Bedroom
1 Bathroom units located on Chicago Avenue in Niceville.
Each unit contains approximately 450 SF, and features central heat and air conditioning.
Contract rent for these units is $595 per month, with the landlord paying water, sewer,
and garbage pickup.
In summary, the contracted market rents for the 1 Bedroom units ranged from $595 to
$945 per month; those for the 2 Bedroom units ranged from $875 to $1,050 per month;
and market rent rates for the 3 Bedroom units ranged from $975 to $1,150 per month.
Per the current rent roll provided, contracted rent rates for the College Courtyard
Apartments containing 1/2/3 Bedroom units ranged from $850 to $975, with an average
rent of $902 per unit. Thus, it appears that the contracted rent rates for these units are
well within the range of currently attainable market rent rates as exhibited by the
comparables.
For the Raider Housing units, we anticipate that the 1 Bedroom units containing 550 SF
would likely command a rate at the low end of the range, due to lack of amenities, and
tendency for tenants to pay majority of utility expenses. Thus, we anticipate an
applicable market rent rate of $700 per month for these units.
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 102
The 2 Bedroom units containing 700 SF would likely command a rent rate slightly lower
than that of the College Courtyard apartments, due to the size, and thus we anticipate an
applicable market rent rate for these units of $850.
The 2 Bedroom 2 Bathroom units containing 850 SF are somewhat superior to the
College Courtyard counterparts of the same size due to the second full bathroom, though
inferior to the 3BR College Courtyard Apartments, and therefore we anticipate a rent rate
of approximately $875 per month.
The comparable set varies with regard to unit size and project amenities. However, the
appraisers have researched and analyzed sufficient data in the local market to
determine that the current contracted rent rates for the subject residential units are
typical of the local market, and therefore consistent with currently attainable market
rent.
As such, we will utilize the current average monthly rent rate per Residential Unit per
the provided rent roll for the 30 College Courtyard Apartment units, and our previously
developed opinion of currently attainable market rent rates for the 32 Raider Housing
units in our income projection.

Vacancy @ 3.50% $22,662
Effective Gross Income (EGI): $624,827 97.9%
Other Income
As previously discussed, additional income items such as late fees and non-refundable
pet deposits are included in our analysis in the amount of 1.5% of PGI, noting that this
income is directly related to occupancy.
Thus, for purposes of this appraisal, we will utilize an anticipated 3.5% vacancy and
collections loss for the subject, which takes into account that there is some rent loss
during turnover. We note that this rate is within the typical percentage indicated by the
local market for property similar to the subject.
Interior Utilities
Typically, each residential tenant pays the interior utilities of electricity, cable, internet,
and sometimes water, sewer, and garbage for that unit directly, thus this expense is
passed through to the tenant and does not pose an expense for the owner / landlord.
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 104
We have included an allocation of $6,000 annually for common area utilities and tenant
turnover electrical.
Taxes
The 2019 taxes for the subject property were reported as $20,343 (rounded) and we have
utilized the full amount here for the subject property, plus an estimate for the Raider
Housing parcels in the amount of $15,000, for a total of $35,000 (rounded).
Insurance
The insurance costs for the subject has been reported by the property owner as $27,049
for 2019. This is in-line with other similar properties in the market area, thus, we have
utilized this amount here rounded to $28,000.
We recognize that the subject has just been extensively renovated to a condition which
lowered the effective age. Therefore we have utilized a somewhat modest reserve
amount of 2.5%.
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 105
For example, if a property sells for $500,000, and has a stabilized NOI of $50,000, the
indicated capitalization rate is 10%.
Four methods are generally recognized for estimating an appropriate capitalization rate
for use in direct capitalization analysis. These four methods are:
• A 48 Unit apartment complex located at 859 Gibson Road in Fort Walton Beach
sold on October 1, 2018 for $3,650,000 which was just below the list price. The
gross income was reported to be $417,600. When deducting 5% for vacancy and
collection loss and 37.5% for operating expenses, the result is an NOI of
$256,000. When applying the NOI to sales price of $3,650,000, the result is a
computed overall capitalization rate of 7.02%,
The mortgage variables are used to build the mortgage constant (RM), which is the total
amount of the payments made in one year, expressed as a percentage of the original loan
amount.
The equity cap rate is the annual return to the investor, expressed as a percent of the
original amount invested. The annual return to the investor is also known as the equity
dividend rate; it is the profit remaining after debt service and all other expenses.
After Debt Service Profit / Equity Investment = Equity Cap Rate (RE)
Note that the equity cap rate is not the same (usually, that is) as the equity yield rate. The
equity yield rate reflects the total return to the investor over the life of the investment.
Factors such as appreciation and mortgage pay down affect and usually increase this
return to a point higher than the equity dividend rate. In markets where substantial
appreciation is expected, investors will often accept a low or even negative equity
dividend rate, anticipating a compensating payoff when the property is eventually sold. In
markets where little appreciation is expected, much more weight is given to the annual
equity dividend.
Formula:
RM x M = rate
RE x (1-M) = rate
= Cap Rate (Ro)
The prime rate as of the effective date of this evaluation was 4.75%. Competitive fixed
rate loans for properties similar to the subject are typically at prime plus 1/2 to 2 percent,
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 108
however, some commercial lenders are not willing to lend below floor rates of 5.00% to
6.00%. No local commercial lender will extend to long term amortization.
We typically utilize a rate that is applicable for an investment period of 5 years. Thus,
we will use a rate of 5.25% in our calculations, with a 75% loan to value and a 20 year
amortization term.
The debt capitalization rate (or mortgage constant) for a typical loan made at 5.25% for
20 years is 0.0808613.
Equity dividend (capitalization) rates in the local market range from 8-12%. We estimate
an equity dividend rate of 9.00% in the local market for property such as the subject.
Items 1 through 3 are discussed above under the Band of Investment section. In this
method it is also used to develop the mortgage constant (RM). The debt coverage ratio is
the factor by which income exceeds debt on an annual basis.
Formula:
Debt Coverage Ratio x Loan to Value Ratio x Mortgage Constant = Ro
or: DCR x M x RM = Ro
We have researched mortgage rates and terms typical for the subject within the market
area as noted above. The table below details the Band of Investment and Debt Coverage
Ratio Analyses calculations.
The Debt Coverage Ratio Analysis indicated an appropriate capitalization rate per the
preceding assumptions of 8.19%.
In consideration of the condition and age of the subject multi-family property, we would
estimate an applicable capitalization rate above the national average indicated by the
survey data. It is noted that this survey includes a multitude of institutional-grade
multifamily properties which trade a capitalization rates at the low end of the range and
therefore skew the data as it relates to local, investor-oriented property such as the
subject.
Appraiser notes regarding national market indicators and their applicability in the
subject market area:
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 110
While national market indicators provide insight into the motivations of market
participants in major metropolitan areas, these indications of capitalization rates must be
counter-balanced with the indications of comparable-sale-based capitalization rate
indications, as well as traditional methods of capitalization rate estimation via the debt
coverage ratio and mortgage-equity analysis methods.
It is the opinion of the appraisers that these indications, while useful to trend broad
momentum in the real estate market for particular property types as a whole, are often
influenced by institutional investors whose weighed average cost of capital allows
investment at lower discount rates and internal rate of return thresholds than would be
acceptable to the individual investor.
Nevertheless, these indications are considered relevant to the valuation of the subject
property, and the derivation of an appropriate capitalization rate when analyzed in
concert with the other derivation methods presented in this appraisal analysis.
As such the appraisers will accord appropriate weight to these indications, noting that
their applicability may be somewhat macroeconomic in nature as compared to more local
indications of minimum investment parameters for property purchased by investors in the
local area.
The market extracted capitalization rates of multi-family properties in the broader market
indicated a market extracted rate of 8.25% would be applicable.
The Debt Coverage Ratio Analysis indicated an appropriate capitalization rate per the
preceding assumptions of 8.19%.
The Realty Rates Investor Survey, dated 3rd Quarter 2019, indicates going in
capitalization rates for Apartments – Garden/Suburban Townhouse ranged from 4.31% to
11.79% with an average of 7.79%.

Final Reconciliation
The process of reconciliation involves the analysis of each approach to value. The quality
of data applied, the significance of each approach as it relates to market behavior and
defensibility of each approach are considered and weighed. Finally, each is considered
separately and comparatively with each other.
Value Conclusion
Land Value: Not Utilized
Land Valuation
An opinion of value for the subject underlying land has not been developed in this
appraisal assignment in conjunction with non-application of the cost approach per
reasoning below.
Cost Approach
The cost approach to value has not been developed in this appraisal assignment. In
consideration of the current actions of market participants in the local market, the Cost
Approach to value is not considered necessary to the derivation of a credible value
opinion for the subject property ‘As Is’. Omission of this approach to value is not
considered to negatively affect the credibility of the final value opinion contained herein.
The unit of comparison was price per residential unit, and we have applied adjustments to
account for differences between the subject property 'As Is', and those characteristics of
the comparables.
We assign secondary weight to the value indication from the sales comparison analysis
as the field of comparable data is considered adequate to derive a credible opinion of
value, however, the subject is recently renovated and there is a relative shortage of
properties in the subject market area which are of a similar quality.
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 113
Income Approach
The income approach is based on the principal of anticipation. This is a positive for the
reliability of this approach as the forecast income and expenses for the subject are reliable
and supportable, based on actual contract rents in place and market rents and historical
operating expenses. We analyzed the subject property contracted rent rates and they were
deemed to be consistent with currently attainable market rents of similar type properties.
The value indication derived from the income approach has received primary weight as
compared to that of the sales comparison approach in our reconciliation, noting the
recent renovations, increases in rent, and apparent demand for the subject apartment
units in the market.
Exposure Time
The opinion of value derived as a result of the analyses in this appraisal report revolves
largely around the time estimated necessary to sell the subject, given market conditions
and conditions / characteristics of the property leading up to the date of value.
Exposure time is retrospective from the effective date of value of the appraisal report.
Value Conclusion
Based on the data and analyses developed in this appraisal, we have reconciled to the
following value conclusions, as of December 13, 2019, subject to the Limiting

1. Unless otherwise noted in the body of the report, we assumed that title to the property or
properties appraised is clear and marketable and that there are no recorded or unrecorded
matters or exceptions that would adversely affect marketability or value. We are not
aware of any title defects nor were we advised of any unless such is specifically noted in
the report. We did not examine a title report and make no representations 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.
3. Unless otherwise noted in the body of this report, we assumed: that any existing
improvements on the property or properties being appraised are structurally sound,
seismically safe and code conforming; that all building systems (mechanical/electrical,
HVAC, elevator, plumbing, etc.) are, or will be upon completion, in good working order
with no major deferred maintenance or repair required; that the roof and exterior are in
good condition and free from intrusion by the elements; that the property or properties
have been engineered 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, as currently 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. We did not retain
independent structural, mechanical, electrical, or civil engineers in connection with this
appraisal and, therefore, make no representations relative to the condition of
improvements. Unless otherwise noted in the body of this report no problems were
brought to our attention by ownership or management. We were not furnished any
engineering studies by the owners or by the party requesting this appraisal. If questions
in these areas are critical to the decision process of the reader, the advice of competent
engineering consultants should be obtained and relied upon. It is specifically assumed
that any knowledgeable and prudent purchaser would, as a precondition to closing a sale,
obtain a satisfactory engineering report relative to the structural integrity of the property
and the integrity of the building systems. Structural problems and/or building system
problems may not be visually detectable. If engineering consultants retained should
report negative factors of a material nature, or if such are later discovered, relative to the
condition of the improvements, such information could have a substantial negative
impact on the conclusions reported in this appraisal. Accordingly, if engineering
consultants report negative findings, we reserve the right to amend the appraisal
conclusions reported herein.
4. All furnishings, equipment and business operations, except as specifically stated and
typically considered as part of real property, have been disregarded with only real
property being considered in the appraisal. Any existing or proposed improvements, on-

Finally, this report shall not be advertised to the public or otherwise used to induce a third
party to purchase the property or to make a “sale” or “offer for sale” of any “security”, as
such terms are defined and used in this Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Any third
party, not covered by the exemptions herein, who may possess this report, is advised that
they should rely on their own independently secured advice for any decision in
connection with this property. We shall have no accountability or responsibility to any
such third party.
14. Any value estimate provided in the report applies to the entire property, and any pro
ration or division of the title into fractional interests will invalidate the value estimate,
unless such pro ration or division of interests has been set forth in the report.
15. Any distribution of the total valuation in this report between land and improvement
applies only under the existing program of utilization. Component values for land and/or
buildings are not intended to be used in conjunction with any other property or appraisal
and are invalid if so used.
16. The maps, plats, sketches, graphs, photographs, and exhibits included in this report are
for illustration purposes only and are to be used only to assist in visualizing matters
discussed within this report. Except as specifically stated, data relative to size or areas of
the subject and comparable properties was obtained from sources deemed accurate and
reliable. None of the exhibits are to be removed, reproduced, or used apart from this
report.
17. No opinion is intended to be expressed on matters that may require legal expertise or
specialized investigation or knowledge beyond that which is customarily employed by
real estate appraisers. Values and opinions expressed presume that environmental and
other governmental restrictions/conditions by applicable agencies have been met,
including but not limited to seismic hazards, flight patters, decibel levels/noise envelopes,
fire hazards, hillside ordinances, density, allowable uses, building codes, permits,
licenses, etc. No survey, engineering study or architectural analysis was provided to us
unless otherwise stated within the body of this report. If we were not supplied with a
termite inspection, survey or occupancy permit, no responsibility or representation is
assumed or made for any costs associated with obtaining same or for any deficiencies
discovered before or after they are obtained. No representation or warranty is made
concerning obtaining these items. We assume no responsibility for any costs or
consequences arising due to the need, or the lack of need, for flood hazard insurance. An
EQ 190416 – College Courtyard Apartments/Raider Housing – NWF State College Foundation Pg. 120
agent for the Federal Flood Insurance Program should be contacted to determine the
actual need for Flood Hazard Insurance.
18. Acceptance and/or use of this report constitutes full acceptance of the Assumptions and
Limiting Conditions and extraordinary assumptions set forth in this report. It is the
responsibility of the Client, or client’s designees, to read in full, comprehend and thus
become aware of the aforementioned assumptions and limiting conditions. We assume
no responsibility for any situation arising out of the Client’s failure to become familiar
with and understand the same. The Client is advised to retain experts in areas that fall
outside the scope of the real estate appraisal/consulting profession if so desired.
19. We assume that the subject property will be under prudent and competent management
and ownership; neither inefficient nor super-efficient.
20. We assume that there is full compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local
environmental regulations and laws unless noncompliance is stated, defined, and
considered in the appraisal reports.
21. No survey of the boundaries of the property was undertaken. All areas and dimensions
furnished are presumed correct. It is further assumed that no encroachments to the realty
exists.
22. All value opinions expressed herein are as of the date of value. In some cases, facts or
opinions are expressed in the present tense. All opinions are expressed as of the date of
value, unless specifically noted.
23. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992.
Notwithstanding any discussion of possible readily achievable barrier removal
construction items in this report, we did not perform a specific compliance survey and
analysis of this property to determine wither it is in conformance 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 ADA. If so,
the fact could have a negative effect on the value estimated herein. Since we have no
specific information relating to this issue, nor are we qualified to make such an
assessment, the effect of any possible non-compliance was not considered in estimating
the value of the subject property.
24. The value estimate rendered in this report is predicated on the assumption that there is no
hazardous material on or in the property that would cause a loss of value. We were not
provided with an Environmental Assessment Report. Further, we are not qualified to
determine the existence or extent of environmental hazards. If there are any concerns
pertaining to environmental hazards for this property, we recommend that a qualified
engineer perform an assessment.
