  The Valuation of Skilled Nursing Facilities Webinar

  Kevin Bradshaw

  Valuation of skilled nursing facilities (SNF) offers a unique appraisal challenge as they are almost always owner operated but are bought and sold for their ability to generate income.

This Webinar will illustrate how assessors can develop an income capitalization approach for skilled nursing facilities by the use of practical examples. Although the emphasis will be on the income approach, the cost and sales approaches will be also be discussed and reviewed. The presentation will also provide data sources that can be of use to the front line assessor.

  Complex Property Valuation: Hotels and Drugstores Webinar

  Tim Wilmath and Ken Engel

  More than any other property types, hotels present the challenge of separating business value from the going concern to determine the value of the real estate. This presentation provides methods for creating mass appraisal models to value hotels, which incorporates techniques for removing both business and personal property value from the going concern. All three approaches to value are discussed, and reliable sources of data for model creation are presented. The past two decades have given rise to the growth of corner drugstores at a staggering pace. This presentation examines the business model developed by the four major drugstore companies, Walgreens, Eckerd, CVS and Rite Aid, that allowed the drugstore chains to act as tenants in build-to-suit-stores. To help assessors understand the many ways to estimate their market values, valuation factors affecting drugstores are examined, including development and sale-leaseback issues.
