Insurance Appraisal, What is it? An insurance appraisal documents the estimated cost to rebuild improvements to a property after a catastrophic event such as fire, storm or flood. Market value, land value and depreciation which are typically part of a mortgage-based appraisal are not considered. The Replacement Cost New (RCN) estimate of a properties improvements can be obtained in (3) ways: 1) Your Insurer pays an expert to estimate RCN 2) Your Insurer uses "in house" cost estimating software 3) Property owner pays an expert to estimate RCN Pros & Cons of each method 1) Good IF you get a say in who the contracted "expert" is 2) Good IF Insurer spends adequate time in the RCN estimate 3) Best IF you are looking for "peace-of-mind" by knowing that you are not under-or-over insured.

Attached is an example of how to organize and present rental income data to a lender, broker or appraiser in the process of ordering an appraisal or listing a property for sale. In my (35) years of appraising commercial real estate appraisal experience, I have seldom been provided with the required information in a clear and concise format. Please note that rents are without sales tax. To remove sales tax from a given rent, say a $1,000 / month rent, simply divide the rent by the sales tax, for example, if the sale tax is 7%, dividing by the monthly rent of $1,000 by 1.07 gives you $934.58. This is the monthly rental amount to be shown in the table. The website for Central Florida Appraisal Consultants (CFAC) is https://www.cfappraisal.com/
