One thing that seems to be uniform through out all my readings and studying is how important it is to set your criteria for what you want in a property and stick to it.

.#3 USPAP (Uniform Standards of the Professional Appraisal Practice) is the rule book which all appraisers must follow.

Example: costs associated with buying uniform items.

Obviously prices don't increase uniformly each year, some years the price may go up, some years it may go down, but if we track the prices long enough, by definition the price will trend to the average unless there are outside factors involved (Detroit collapsing, or the shifting demographics away from the midwest and towards the coastal and southern regions). 

@Jeremy Anan You're best bet it to call the Fire Marshall's office to get clarification based on the uniform fire code.

They kept arguing for purchase price as opposed to uniform and equal for the neighborhood.

so I can speak to some of the resources available to those who wear the uniform.

Not too many people are willing to play around with an armed guy in uniform out there.

It also clears any misunderstanding about who pays what.When you have multiple tenants with different type of leases to deal with, you quickly realize that the more uniform your leases are, the easier is to manage your tenants.

TLDR: In a 2 bedroom basement rental unit that is kinda nice, in a nice area, with all amenities, but nowhere near executive...what would be the monthly rental impact of having a uniform floor vs having a different floor in one of the bedrooms?
