Special-Use & Going-Concern Property Appraisals
Follow Us
Do you need more than a conventional real estate appraisal?
Some commercial properties cannot be accurately evaluated by looking only at the land and building. Special-use and going-concern assignments may involve equipment, FF&E, operating systems, permits, contracts, or other components that contribute to the value of the property.
- Hotels & resorts
- Car washes
- Gas stations/convenience stores
- Assisted living facilities
- Nursing homes
- Laundromats
- Funeral homes
- Recreational-use properties
- Marinas
- Other special-use commercial properties
Special-use and going-concern properties often require a broader valuation perspective than a conventional real estate appraisal. These assignments may involve income-producing operations where value is connected not only to the land and buildings, but also to equipment, FF&E, operating systems, permits, contracts, or other components that support the business use of the property.
RPM-AVS provides appraisal and consulting services for complex commercial properties where real estate, machinery and equipment, tangible personal property, and business-related components may need to be identified, classified, and analyzed.
These reports may support financing, litigation support, estate and gift planning, transaction advisory, financial reporting, purchase price allocation, and other assignments where asset identification and appraisal methodology must be clearly documented.
Our appraisal experience in both commercial real estate and machinery and equipment valuation supports assignments where multiple asset classes must be clearly reviewed, allocated, and reported for the intended use of the assignment.
Special-use assignments may involve several asset classes, including:
- Real estate
- Land and site improvements
- Buildings and utility infrastructure
- Machinery and equipment
- Furniture, fixtures and equipment
- Vehicles and support assets
- Permits, licenses, and contracts
- Franchise or flag affiliation
- Business-related intangible components
- Going-concern considerations
- Operating systems and specialty equipment
- Other tangible personal property
Examples of Special-Use and Going-Concern Properties
RPM-AVS assists with appraisal assignments involving properties where the real estate, operating assets, equipment, FF&E, and business-related components may need to be separately identified and analyzed.
Hotels &
Resorts
Hotels and resorts may involve land and improvements, guest-room FF&E, restaurant and recreation equipment, reservation systems, franchise affiliation, and operating components tied to a recognized flag or brand.
Gas Stations & Convenience Stores
These properties may combine site and building value with petroleum equipment, fuel systems, retail FF&E, permits, branding, and operating income generated by integrated fuel and store functions.
Car Washes
Car wash assignments may involve specialized wash equipment, tunnel systems, water reclaim systems, site improvements, customer traffic patterns, and business-related operating assets.
Assisted Living Facilities
These assignments may involve land and improvements, resident-care equipment, furnishings, licensing considerations, operating systems, and the economics of an ongoing care-related enterprise.
Laundromats
May involve leasehold or real estate interests, washers and dryers, payment systems, support equipment, and customer-driven business value.
