Plus everyone puts too much weight on the $/sf cost... because that doesn't include land development, paved parking lots, curbing, stormwater sewers, possible retention pond, civil engineer, architect, etc.  

They are worth their weight in gold. 

Add in the fact that this is Memorial Day weekend, and REI activity today and Monday is lighter than normal as well.

So as far as a starting point for market values county appraisals hold some weight. 

I'll check out the site and weight my options.

Personally I don't put much weight into that.  

Don't forget to contact your insurance company - as breed/weight restrictions can vary from carrier to carrier.I usually suggest adding a section in the lease that is a notice to the tenant that the insurance on the property will NOT cover the tenant's personal belongings or their temporary housing in the event of a catastrophe.

I would put less weight on school district for 1 BR and 2BR - your target audience will not be a family with kids in school age, maybe a baby.Approach it from the other side: how much is your target audience bringing home net every month?

Sounds like a big deal.For those of you with experience on flat roofs--popular in Baltimore--how do you feel they'll handle the weight of all this predicted snowfall?

Always leaned towards lighter/ whiter colors but a darker color may hide more.
