For comps there's a really great rule of thumb...never cross a major street.

Of course, they have not done a CMA, have no idea about recents sales and comp values, so they just grab a number out of thin air based upon some anecdotal info ("I heard another house 3 streets over sold for $200K, so...").I REALLY appreciated your info @Terry Evans - I love that kind of testing and hearing the results of it.  

And then for some reason there is an apartment that is accessible from the other street so that's the 4th address for the same physical building.I am wondering what is required from a tax perspective and what is recommended from a sanity and business perspective for tracking expenses and reporting them to the IRS due to the different addresses?

The neighbor directly across the street has a grandma who needs a place but can only afford $500 a month.

Both units are 1 bedroom apartments, with walkable attack, basement, private deck, private off street parking and a common yard approximately 1 acre.

My concern is they may not rent as quickly and are they less popular. 

If it was not a street bike maybe I would do differently but I thank everyone for giving me your thoughts , it helps to identify angles I have not thought of.

And it looks like there was a house down the street that sold for $535,000.
