Valuation of a Commercial Property in Minessota
I am inheriting a small home 100 miles south of Minneapolis. It's value is $160k. It was purchased 13 years ago for $150k.
A sibling is receiving a commercial property. It's value is UNKNOWN. It was purchased 13 years ago for $55k.
My sibling thinks it is not fair that I am receiving more. No problem. I want to be fair. He says the property is worth $55k because it is in a flood zone. The property, however, has returned $12,000 per year in income for the past ten years after my father fixed it - hundreds of hours of labor plus about $20k. It has three or four small units, not sure.
Anyway, what is a simple evaluation for that property? I have read about cap rate, etc. Is 10% a good number? Or too high? I know there are many parameters such as location, etc., but this is a very vague question.
