Property Valuation

An appraiser determines that a Missouri industrial property's highest and best use is residential development rather than its current industrial use. The appraiser should:

AAppraise it based on current industrial use only
BAppraise it based on its highest and best use as if converted to residential, adjusting for conversion costs✓ Correct
CAverage the industrial and residential values
DOnly consider current income for value

Explanation

If highest and best use differs from current use, the appraiser values the property at its highest and best use, potentially with deductions for conversion costs (demolition, remediation). Current use value would also be considered as an alternative scenario.
