Property Valuation

In South Dakota, an appraiser estimates the 'cost to cure' a deferred maintenance item at $5,000. If the repair adds $8,000 in value, the appraiser would classify this as:

AIncurable physical deterioration
BCurable physical deterioration (deferred maintenance)✓ Correct
CExternal obsolescence
DFunctional obsolescence

Explanation

Deferred maintenance is curable if the cost to fix ($5,000) is less than the value added ($8,000). Since fixing it is economically justified, it's classified as curable physical deterioration.
