Valuating real estate has fewer variations than business because analysis is limited to similar projects within the region (as opposed to the same businesses running across the country and overseas) and fewer variable inputs (wages, supply chains, distribution chains, marketing campaigns, etc.), but still presents challenges because the analyst needs to know what data to include and how much weight is given, and what presumptions to make.
