The appraisal has been developed, and this report has been prepared, with the intent of complying with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation, FIRREA, and has also been prepared in conformance with The Appraisal Institute’s guidelines for demonstration appraisal report writing.

The property contains 530 rental units (currently, 511 residential and 19 commercial units) and was constructed in 1966. At the time of inspection, the improvements were considered to be in very good condition. As of the effective date of value, the property was reportedly 99% occupied. The purpose of the appraisal is to estimate the market value of the Fee Simple interest in the subject property on “As Is” basis as of January 1, 2008.
