Property Valuation

In Tennessee, a property that has been appraised for $350,000 but is currently under a lease that is below market rent would likely be valued:

AAt $350,000 regardless of the lease
BAt a discount reflecting the impact of the below-market lease on the property's income and marketability✓ Correct
CAt an amount above $350,000 because leased properties are more valuable
DOnly using the cost approach

Explanation

A below-market lease reduces the property's effective income below market potential. The lease'd fee interest (property encumbered by below-market lease) is typically valued at a discount to the fee simple market value.
