In Alaska, the 'income approach' is least appropriate for which type of property?

AA 20-unit apartment complex
BAn owner-occupied single-family residenceCorrect
CA triple-net leased retail strip center
DA small mixed-use building with retail and apartments

Why An owner-occupied single-family residence Is Correct

Answer B: An owner-occupied single-family residence

The income approach is least appropriate for owner-occupied single-family residences because they are not typically purchased for their income-generating potential. Most homebuyers are not investors analyzing rental income — they use the sales comparison approach instead.

Exam Tip: Property Valuation

Valuation questions focus on the three approaches to value: sales comparison, cost, and income. Know which approach is best for which property type. The income approach uses cap rate and NOI — memorize these formulas.
