You$$re called out of an investment committee meeting at your real estate company for an important phone call. Stepping back into the meeting you find you$$ve missed the initial description of the Subject Property, but a heated debate on which Comparable Properties should be used to evaluate the property is underway.

Glancing at a handout your analysts have prepared,

Q$5($a$).$ Your four partners each have a different opinion as to which TWO comparable properties are the best fit for your analysis. Based on each of their selections, which criteria of comparability is each partner giving the greatest weight:

Tom Comp B & D

Donna Comp A & E

Ron Comp D & A

Ann Comp B & E

Selected Comps: Size, Market Conditions, Net Operating Income, Property Type, Locale, Age & Condition $($ only pick one for each person $)$

Q$5($b$).$ April, ever the contrarian, insists that Comp C is the almost certainly the best fit. What two specific attributes of the Subject Property would, if true, would strongly support April$$s case?

Q$5($c$).$ The group turns to you to break the tie. Based only on the information provided above, select the most prudent answer for you to give:

A$.$ "They$$re all close enough. Let$$s just average the data from all of them.$$

B$.$Without knowing anything about the Subject Property, it$$s impossible to say which of these comps would be most appropriate.$$

C$.$There$\text{'}$s just too much variation among the comps provide a meaningful picture. We can$$t make a decision without finding additional sales comps.$$
