In preparing a stabilized pro forma for an apartment building, an appraiser analyzes the property's 5-year history and market data. The appraiser concludes a long-term, typical vacancy and collection loss of 6% is supportable. To correctly develop the stabilized effective gross income estimate, the appraiser should apply this 6% rate to which of the following?

Correct Answer

C) The market-derived estimate of potential gross income at market rents.

In a stabilized pro forma for market valuation, vacancy and collection loss is applied to the market-derived estimate of Potential Gross Income (PGI) at current market rental rates, reflecting the property's earning capacity as if it were typically occupied. PGI is the total income the property would generate at 100% occupancy at market rates.

Answer Options
A
The property's average historical gross income over the prior five years.
B
The property's projected income based on current leases in place.
C
The market-derived estimate of potential gross income at market rents.
D
The net operating income before capital expenses are deducted.
