FAQ About Property Valuations & Appraisal

Is ACI offer a free valuation for any property?

Yes, ACI Apartments offers a free apartment building or any property valuation. We evaluate according to the current market value of your property, whether it is a rental property or a multifamily apartment.

A tax assessment reflects assessed value for tax purposes, not market value. A bank appraisal is typically ordered during a loan process and can be conservative. Our valuation reflects what a buyer would actually pay in today’s market, based on live transaction data.
ACI Apartment just needs the basic property details: unit count, unit mix, current rents, and recent capital improvements are enough to start. We can refine the estimate further with a rent roll or income statement if you have one.
or any type of property, i.e., a multifamily apartment or rental property, we do instant valuations. If you want a thorough valuation, then you may call us on our given numbers at any time.
No. Many owners request a valuation simply to understand their equity position or to plan for a future sale, refinance, or 1031 exchange.
Given how much cap rates and financing conditions have shifted recently, we recommend San Diego multifamily owners revisit their valuation at least annually, or after any major market shift.
