As far as the county assessor's office is concerned the project was completed, as the additional finished square footage shows in their records.

My gut tells me small square footage (due to not really being desirable) and large square footage (due to being beyond my current level) would not be effective.Very possibly, I can imagine (1) and (2) are directly related.Looking forward to hear perspective on vacant land marketing/deals!

Curious if I'm paying taxes on the sale by unit or sq footage occupied or? 

Optional need: a bulkhead into the basement if owner occupier lives upstairs so as to avoid having to go through the lower unit to access the basement.When seller was owner occupier of lower unit, the Rent he collected for upper unit included all utilities (gas for heat/cook stove, electric) except trash removal and cableHere are the numbers I used:Total Square Footage: 1,800 sq/ftAsking price: 340,000Annual property taxes: 6600 Purchase Price: 325kAfter Repair Value 325,000 ?

Russel from what i saw and from what our realtor (he is an investor as well) said is that the 500-550K are for the row houses that can only be converted to two condo's due to the limited square footage.

Adding huge deck with panoramic views, but no additional sq footage.

Few options beyond mailers/calls to people with equity:Adding square footage: Great in high-dollar markets like San Diego, Palm Springs, Orange and Los Angeles.

(Based on square footage)We depreciate 50% of the property as a rental based on square footage.

S2 said the smell was so unbearable he could only record the 2 minutes of footage he did inside the home and had to wash it off him when he got home.

I looked what is on the local MLS and it varies from 170k-400k for the same square footage.
