In developing an income approach for a stabilized property, an appraiser estimates potential gross income based on market rent. Which of the following best describes the relationship between potential gross income and effective gross income?
Correct Answer
A) Effective gross income is potential gross income minus vacancy and collection loss plus other income.
Effective Gross Income (EGI) is defined as Potential Gross Income (PGI) minus vacancy and collection losses plus any other income (such as from vending machines, parking, or laundry facilities). Operating expenses and replacement reserves are deducted from EGI to arrive at Net Operating Income. Thus, option A is the correct, complete definition per standard income capitalization principles.
