@Allan Tualla, maybe first think about how property values are determined/estimated.
For 1-4 unit residential properties, comparative sales are used to estimate value. So, property condition is the #1 factor.
For commercial and 5+ residential units, income determines value. So, it isn't just about condition. You can add value literally by just raising rents or reducing expenses such as by appealing tax assessments without changing the physical property at all!
@Kevin Sobilo Thank you so much! Ill keep this in mind!
