Now, sometimes the GLA on public record is erroneous, in which case the appraiser will have to reconcile their measurements with what has been recorded but usually there is a explanation for the difference.Along with the overall square footage there should also be a certificate of occupancy on file which will describe the legal use of the property.

I was going to wait until a verdict was issued but oh well.Read this from last year.....https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/92/topics/226...Now for my part......Bought a tax certificate in Feb 2017 (I think).  3 unit apartment building, all 2/1.Sold it to another investor.
