My point was that, as you pointed out, it isn't black and white. 

@Stuart M.Tax law is mostly grey, not black and white.All purchase cost plus all rehab costs go into basis and begin depreciation when placed in service.Taxes, in an opinion of at least one of my colleagues, are deductible even during the rehab.

A little bit looser of a HOA and Property Manager per tenants, but their budget is in the black and I'll be quick to call out any funny business.

Using 17 comparable transactions from November 2020 to present day, which  a include a neighboring city with (ballpark) similar price correlations, the price per buildable square foot was $116.I advocate that because the Pandemic was by definition a Black Swan event, and that particular market has proven to be resilient despite rate hikes, with condominiums gaining an excess of 13% year over year , that it would be more accurate to use in comparables only transactions that took place over the last year, leaving 7 of their original 17.
