| Prianka | Why is B false? |
| mordja | The sales price of comparable properties is used to determine the capitalisation rates on comparable properties which is an input into the formula. If it is not an input then it is the input of an input....drawing a long bow here. I do however agree with the other answers so it is probably the least true. |
| saltnvinegar | why is 'A' true?? |
| JimM | A is true because interest payments on any mortgage are ignored in the calculation. |
| udhay | why D is true,tax effect is considered in the income approach |
| hoyleng | B) is a sales comparison approach |
| Inaganti6 | @udhay NOI is different from NI. NI considers tax NOI doesn't. |
| 923029 | B is false because you could have bought the same property for half the price 10 years ago or today. Regardless of when you bought it ... the income approach values it going forward like the DCF for equities. |
I used your notes and passed ... highly recommended!
