to value a property, what are you looking at, land size, elevation, location, size of each unit, etc?

We have a beautiful condo on the 3rd floor of a non-elevator building.

I feel like if I left a gap above the door and the window, although the elevation would line up it seems like the window would look weird.Anyone have any other thoughts?  

In some cases this was impossible (foundation elevations for revised flood elevations) or impractical since it would involve almost total demo.

One clue is to look at pricing of similar houses on Homeaway and see if they have some elevated rates for events.

I want to be able to make a good offer based on the elevation.

The living areas are above the flood elevation, the basement would potentially flood.My plan for the rental is to pay off the debt quickly, so I can eliminate the flood insurance.

Alternatively, the value of this house might go up a bit because it's probably in the top 50% of elevations (13.3 feet) on the peninsula.

I didn't even think to mention, I have a two bedroom rental and it is my best cash flowing rental (although not just because it is a two bedroom).I was three bedrooms and they took one out to put in an elevator!

Typically, they are 25 minutes from downtown Golden, and are at higher elevations which are in a more rural environment and sometimes have dirt roads.
