If you divide the sale price by the gross income potential of the sold properties you derive a Gross Rent Multiplier. The average G.R.M. for these five sales is 7.64. Also, every year we survey all apartment owners to find out their gross rents. The 1984 average for all 2 bedroom units in 4- plexes was $359.00 per month per unit. Since Mr. Shutte has declined to supply his actual gross rents, we will use the Brooklyn Center City Average of $359.00 per month per • unit. This equates to $17,232.00 per year average gross income. Using our indicated G.R.M. of 7.64 times our estimated gross income of $17,232, we derive an indicated property value on each building of $131,600.00 (rounded). We must adjust the actual indicated value by the same average sales ratio we have for the other properties which for 1985 values is 92.4 percent. $131,600 X .924 = $121,600.00. This would be the indicated Assessors 1985 Market Value. Recommendation I recommend that the 1985 Estimated Market Value on the above listed properties be decreased from $126,500.00 to $121,600.00. • COMPARABLE APARTMENT SALES Sale Gross Avg.Rent # Price # Property Date Price Income GRM Per Unit Units Per Unit 1. 4715 France 11/84 $128,500 $18,000 7.14 $300.00 5 $25,700 10- 118 -21 -31 -0015 2. 4408 - 69th Ave. 7/84 129,000 17,040 7.57 355.00 4 32,250 27- 119 -21 -33 -0016 3. 5001 Ewing Ave. 6/83 145,000 19,080 7.60 397.50 4 36,250 10- 118 -21 -13 -0042 4. 4204 Lakebreeze Ave. 1/83 168,000 18,960 8.86 395.00 4 42,000 10- 118 -21 -32 -0053 5. 4806 Twin Lake Ave. 1/83 130,000 18,480 7.03 385.00 4 32,500 10- 118 -21 -32 -0061 Averages 7.64 $366.50 $33,740 Subjects 85 Value 6719 Humboldt $126,500 4 $31,625 35- 119 -21 -11 -0007 6721 Humboldt 126,500 4 6 31, 25 35- 119 -21 -11 -0008 6715 Humboldt 126,500 4 31,625 35- 119 -21 -11 -0009 6717 Humboldt 126,500 4 31,625 35- 119 -21 -11 -0010 R i• A Sfa SUBJECT f 6719 Humboldt Avenue No • 111 • F ` � S 6721 Humboldt No • • 111 { SUBJECT ■ Hum boldt Avenue No • • 111• IP {.. i� r y 6717 Humboldt No • D' 11 1 C OMPARAB LE 4715 France Avenue North M - 4 1 r.

We will use an income approach to value since the property is a Title II Classification, which is government subsidized housing which is taxed at 20% of value instead of 34% as are regular rental apartments. Since it has this special classification, direct comparable sales will be difficult to find. Income Approach • 1984 Gross Income = $ 332,971 Operating Expenses = 110,622 Net Operating Income = $ 222,349 (Before Taxes & Debt Service) We can capitalize the Net Operating Income into value by using the indicated cap rate from the comparable sales, adding the effective tax rate. Indicated Cap Rate = 8.33% *Effective Tax Rate = 2.31% Overall Rate = 10.64% Net Operating Income °/, Overall Rate = Value $222,439 */v .1064 = $2,089,700 — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — • *(Title II Tax Rates) One may also use the gross rent multiplier technique as an indication of value. • Gross Income X Gross Rent Multiplier = Value $332,971 X 6.805 = $2,265,800 Using the indicated capitalization rates and gross rent multipliers from our twelve comparable sales, we arrive at a range of value between $2,089,700 and $2,265,800 dollars. I am willing to concede to the lower value. To this value, we must apply our level of assessment ratio that we have on other types of properties, which for 1985 is 92.4 %. $2,089,700 X.924 = $1,930,800. Recommendation The Assessor's recommendation is to increase the 1985 market value from $1,729,400 to $1,930,800. • COMPARABLE SALES Sale # Sale Sale Indicated Gross Rent Units Location Date Price Cap Rate Multiplier 1. 54 3907 -11 - 65th Ave. 1/85 $1,500,000 Unknown 6.74 Brooklyn Center 2. 168 Westbrooke II 11/84 4,582,000 10.6 5.82 Hopkins 3. 159 Oregon Estates 10/84 5,000,000 9.1 5.48 Golden Valley 4. 60 2700 -40 Rosalyn Ct. 8/84 2,000,000 Unknown 6.21 Golden Valley 5. 22 Ryan Lake Apts. 5/84 604,500 7.77 6.12 Brooklyn Center 6. 58 Willow Lane Apts. 1/84 1,550,000 Unknown 6.66 Brooklyn Center 7. 23 4440 Parklawn 12/83 1,400,000 6.2 9.70 Edina 8. 107 Rhode Island Chateau 11/83 4,100,000 6.8 7.40 St. Louis Park •9. 126 Engels Estates 10/83 3,815,000 8.06 5.50 Brooklyn Park 10. 23 Lilac Apartments 6/83 730,000 8.05 8.85 Brooklyn Center 11. 126 Lancaster Village 12/82 2,833,700 10.00 4.92 Plymouth 12. 29 Char Lin Apts. 12/82 950,000 8.43 8.23 Hopkins 8.33 6.805 • SUBJECT • I Victoria Townhouses PID #34- 119 -21 -21 -0026 i • Victoria Townhouses PID #34 - 119 -21 -21 -0026 SUBJECT • Y l Victoria Townhouses • PID #34- 119 -21 -21 -0026 t' • Victoria Townhouses PID #34 - 119 -21 -21 -0026 LAW OFFICES ESTES PARSINEN & LEVY A PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION 100 SOUTH FIFTH STREET JOHN ..PARSINEN SUITE 1100 E.

The fair market value is $661,100.00 and such value has • been increased to $731,000.00 for the taxes payable in 1986. Kensington Investments, Inc. and Neil Brastad have reviewed the values with me for the purpose of filing a tax protest in 1985 and 1986 and filing the appropriate notices to preserve the right to appeal in 1986. The substance of our concern is that the property is leased to Northwestern Bell. The net income avaiable to the property is less than $65,000.00. At an 11% capitalization rate, our value of the property would be approximately $610,000.00. Additionally, sales y, ratio for Hennepin County is no more than 85% and, under the equalization and non-discrimination 4 b y arguments, we are entitled to have such value reduced to a value on the Real Estate Tax Statements for the taxes payable in 1985 and 1986 of $518,500.00. Neil Brastad will be contacting you directly to discuss this matter; however, we have recommended that he file the appropriate tax appeals and notices at the local levels.

This letter is intended to comply with the requirements of Minnesota Laws 1984, chapter 502, article II, section 2 (Minn. Stat.

PHILIP MUNISHOR May 21, 1985 City Assessor City of Brooklyn Center 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55430 Gentlemen: The undersigned is in receipt of a Notice of Real Property Assessment Valuation for premises known and numbered as 4315 68th Avenue North, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and legally described as the east 83 feet of Lot 3, Block 2, Northtown Plaza, Second Addition, Hennepin County, Minnesota, your identification number 34 119 -21 -22 -0010. This notice indicates a 1985 market value of the property at $160,500.00. This letter will constitute formal . notice of protest of that valuation. Although I am unfamiliar with comparable sales in the area, I do know that the property returns to the owners a gross annual rental of $17,250.00. Since any prudent investor would demand at least a 12 -1/2% return on property of this type and character, this would give an indicated value of $138,000.00. The improvement on the property is not in good condition (the roof needs replacement) and was originally constructed to minimum standards. If this letter is not sufficient for the protest in question or if further review is needed either before the Brooklyn Center Board of Equalization or the Hennepin County Board of Equalization, please advise forthwith concerning the procedure and the times which will be appropriate.

Some of the reasons for the incorrect valuation include: - lack of current rental information. • - lack of current information as to effective rental rates, particularly in light of quoted rental rates. As you are well aware, the valuation of a large commercial property is difficult. My request to you is that we be allowed adequate time to present our information to the Assessor's office in a professional and thorough manner.

Brookside Enterprizes, Inc., is a successor to a corporation called 2810 Inc., a Minnesota corporation.

Therefore, Brookside Enterprizes, Inc., filed its letter of May 21, 1985, based upon their lessee's interest in the property and for the purposes of preserving their right to appeal the evaluation of January 2, 1985, to the Tax Court for the State of Minnesota.
