You can make a modest assessment of someone's buying power from this conversation.

Development costs help determine what I developer can pay you for a site.Additionally you need to know if water, sewer, power are easily available to the site and would you need to upgrade all the lines to larger ones to make it work. 4 acres away is a universe in commercial to another commercial corridor.

I was able to do it from an adjoining unfinished laundry, so I did not have to open the wall.Making sure the lower and upper bath have good ventilation (powerful, working exhaust fan).

Its ONE decent variable to use (of many) as long as the sizes of your comps are similar, but there are many other variables, such as exact location (near rr tracks, power lines, etc), number of bathrooms, garage/storage space, etc.

For instance, motion detectors, window/door magnetic switches, glass break detectors, security lighting, timed interior lighting, interior/exterior cameras, backup power, etc can be combined to the extent of your preference and budget.

Bear with me here:Raleigh population: 423,719 (local unemployment 3.6% = 407, 945 employed407,945 * $53,653 aver local salary = $21.9b total annual income of area50,000 AMZ jobs * 100,000 aver salary = $5b incremental annual income from AMZ$5b / $21.9b = 22.8% increase in annual income from AMZNow......I realize that not ALL of these 50,000 AMZ jobs will be injected into the Raleigh economy in one year, but if it takes two years, thats roughly an 11% increase and three years 7.6% (holding local area income stagnant over that time frame, which it wouldn't be)If you broaden the same calculations above to include all of Wake County, the numbers are obviously less impactful (8.5% annual increase in County-wide income in one year), but not immaterial IMO.Another simplistic way of looking at this is the average AMZ salary of $100k is almost twice that of the average Raleigh salary ($53k), so the argument could be made that that's almost like adding 7,500 jobs (as measured by purchasing power) to the local area.Again, I realize these are VERY simplistic arguments and it wouldn't take much to poke holes in it if you really want to parse it, but I do think it makes a solid case for it being a material impact on our local area here in RaleighThat said, I'm certainly not suggesting anyone invest here locally based on just that alone.

But I know I get more CapEx buying power with a fourplex vs. a single family.Example...

That also means that there's water/sewer hook-up and possibility to rehook up power. 

I've tried Purple Power degreaser in a few spots around the house, and it works.
