Most MS jurisdictions allow appeals in a narrow annual window after assessments mail. Consult your local assessor's office for specific appeal requirements, as procedures and evidentiary standards vary by jurisdiction. Many areas require comparable sales data, though timing and geographic scope requirements differ.
Successful appeals reduce the assessed value for the appeal year and often reset the baseline for future years. Even a 10% reduction compounds over a decade of ownership.
A cap rate is just NOI divided by price; it bakes in zero assumptions about the market, asset class, or capital structure. Two properties with identical 6% cap rates can have wildly different risk profiles depending on lease maturity, tenant credit, and capital reserve needs. Cap rate is a quick screening tool, not a buy signal.
Underwriting purely on cap rate is the most common reason new investors pay above-market prices. The same investors then blame "the market" when their projected returns do not materialize three years in.
The buy-vs-lease decision for owner-occupants leans on three factors most spreadsheets undercount: (1) tenant-improvement amortization that lease holders expense and owners capitalize, (2) opportunity cost of the down payment, (3) the fact that most growing businesses outgrow space in 5-7 years and end up subleasing the wrong building.
The "ownership creates equity" intuition is real but smaller than the operational flexibility cost for businesses still finding their footprint. A 5-year lease is often cheaper than a 10-year mortgage on the wrong square footage.
