Working on a Duplex REO. The place is a total mess. All of the copper pipes were ripped out of the ceiling and walls, electrical ripped out along with the typical missing A/C, kitchen and appliances, flooring and such.

This client requires an 'AS IS' value. So my main question, is how to determine rent schedules for a property that is basically un-rentable. I am waiting for a call back from the client to discuss the possibility of CB4 but don't think they will buy it.

Suggestions?

Dont do an income approach.
 
I agree with PE - the income approach is not applicable if a property is not rentable
 
If you do an income approach and base it on the repaired condition of the units is rentable be use to deduct the rent loss for the time they are being repaired and the time it will take to rent them out. Of course you would also deduct the cost of repairs and the market reaction to the present considtion to arrive at an " as is " value.

Overall I would agree with the first two posts and indicate it is not in rentable condition and the potential buyer of the property in its current condition would purchase the property based on the market data approach.
