Westchester, although one of the hottest markets, has a ton of upside with opportunities for both cash-flow and equity. 2-4 family properties in Westchester are the 2nd most affordable in the NYC Metropolitan area (next to Suffolk County) making it easier to find cashflow opportunities when compared to the boroughs and other suburbs like Nassau.A client of ours in Westchester recently purchased a < $800K 2-family with a detached 3-car garage which brings in additional rental income - from a local business owner with commercial vehicles.

You can find comparable sales in 2017 and use that dollar/acre figure to arrive at the fair market value then.
