It is part art and part science.Many of our rental properties are almost identical down to the finishes and cabinets (and in the same suburbs of Milwaukee) and I get a 10% swing on appraisals - at least 5% in either direction.

Even with identical facts.

It's not like comparing apples to apples where you can view one 4 unit building against another unless you are building identically permitted buildings on parcels that share the same site conditions.

The seller doesn't have the borrower's driver license or any identity verification paperwork.

Either A) the gf's mother stole her identity and impersonated her on the loan application, B) she's lying to you and is going along with it, or C) the inquiry is unrelated to the mother's loan.

The identical rates of change suggest that, although rents drifted downward, landlords have avoided increasing the relative value of incentives packages used to attract and retain lessees.

Tenant(s) Government Issued ID: typically, this will be a driver’s license to prove the identity of the tenant(s).

But when analyzing my portfolio, I have to assess each house independently to identity outperformers/laggards.

Hey pawaroon I'm almost in your identical situation.

I have 4 identical units of property where all the units need a little work to be on top. 3 units are occupied and 2 of them are paying way below market rent.
