How Single-Family Investment Properties Are Valued

Investment property appraisals involve more than just assessing a home’s physical condition. Appraisers consider:

1. Sales Comparison Approach (Market Value Analysis)

  • Examines recent sales of similar rental homes in the area.
  • Adjusts for property size, condition, and features.
  • Considers location, school districts, and neighborhood desirability.

2. Income Approach (Rental Market Analysis)

  • Analyzes rental income potential based on local market rates.
  • Compares occupancy trends, lease agreements, and property expenses.
  • Calculates capitalization rates (Cap Rate) and gross rent multipliers (GRM).

3. Cost Approach (Replacement Value Assessment)

  • Estimates property replacement costs based on land value and construction costs.
  • Accounts for depreciation and remaining useful life of the home.

A combination of these methods ensures an accurate, well-rounded valuation that reflects both market value and investment performance.
