What Would a 6.0% Appreciation Rate in Atlanta Mean?
December 27th, 2008Here's another Atlanta property that was submitted by a user that we will use as a teaching tool for our Atlanta, Georgia Real Estate Resources real estate investors. The property address, in case you want to look into it in more detail is: 812 Braemar Ave SW, Atlanta, GA 30311.
In this particular example, let's take a look at what happens to the value of the property over a number of years from appreciation.
| Years From Now | Value |
| Assumed Appreciation Rate: 6.0% | |
| At Purchase | $100,700 |
| Year 1 | $106,742 |
| Year 2 | $113,147 |
| Year 3 | $119,935 |
| Year 4 | $127,131 |
| Year 5 | $134,759 |
| Year 6 | $142,845 |
| Year 7 | $151,416 |
| Year 8 | $160,501 |
| Year 9 | $170,131 |
As you can see from the table above, if we assume an appreciation rate of 6.0% per year, then the property value eventually reaches $170,131 after 10 years.
Absentee Owners, or owners that own property in Atlanta, but have their tax bill sent to an address other than the property address, can be a great source of both motivated sellers and investor buyers. In the page on how to send out Absentee Owner Postcards on the Real Estate Investor Cookbook, you can find my own personal tips for working with Absentee Owners.
