An engineered
approach to
fractional interest valuation
by
Dennis A. Webb
What you get in 2.0
The valuation professions have been working with fractional interest valuation 1.0, a body of knowledge that has been developed for operating companies over many decades. But the 1.0 methods were never designed for real estate ownership; they still hold applications for real estate holding entities and tenancy-in-common as an afterthought.
​
This book presents what is essentially an engineered approach to valuing fractional interests; it ends the 1.0 era and takes a bold look ahead with version 2.0. This is a practice upgrade that builds on decades of work on marketability discounting, public partnership trading and option pricing, adapting each specifically for real estate entities. Reliance is placed primarily on income methods using public limited partnership and REIT market returns.
​
The result is a coherent and explainable process that supports all of the factual and circumstantial variations that can be faced by real estate holding entities. Version 2.0 is complete, coherent, transformative, and built for the success of the next generation.
