People are extremely friendly and our foodie scene punches way above its weight.  

It's definitely a flawed comp method on it's own but if buyers and sellers put weight on it, then it needs to be considered.  

However, this risk needs to be weighted against other risks of managing properties remotely since doing it from ON has its own issues (can't do even smallest of repairs on your own, can't check on the condition of the units, can't even show them to tenants in person to evaluate those tenants when you are first renting to them, etc).

Now, that doesn't guarantee the qualified use will be met but it at least holds much more weight.

Typically these windows operated with a series of weights that are located under the trim and roughly 4” to the right and left of the windows.

Is there a rickety old deck that could collapse under the weight of 4-5 housemates and their friends?

On chairs, you’ll need to look at weight limits, because I’ve seen a lot with a low 225 lb limit.
