Property Valuation

In South Dakota, the 'gross income multiplier' (GIM) method of valuing commercial property differs from the 'gross rent multiplier' (GRM) in that:

AGIM uses annual income while GRM uses monthly income
BGIM typically uses all gross income from the property (not just rental income), making it more applicable to diverse commercial properties✓ Correct
CGRM is only used for apartment buildings while GIM is only for office buildings
DThere is no practical difference between GIM and GRM

Explanation

The GIM uses total gross income from all sources (rent, parking, vending, etc.), making it more appropriate for commercial properties with diverse income streams.
