That being said, the overall participation appears to be on the rise, at least when comparing early June to now.

For example if my comparable has one more bedroom, how can I calculate to find out how much 1 more bedroom would cost? 

The whole cost should be pretty minimal (compare to 300k) and result in a decent stream of income which should offset most of my current mortgage (the whole house hacking kind of deal).

Compared to our long-term rentals, the cashflow was significantly higher.

I received a lot of "No's" before I found a group that said "Yes" to that element. 

Are there any websites out there that can find and calculate comps near your subject property without you having to do all the work looking for yourself? Something where you just plug in whatever information it requir...

All this assumes the windows are not a common element and are your responsibility( and they probably are).

The staged property has historically commanded about 8-10% more in rent over my comparable rentals and I have never put a sign in the yard.

@Ivan Chavez if you really want to go above and beyond: clean out gutters, inspect all appliances (or at least those you provide) ice and vinegar in the disposal, check stove elements and use oven cleaner, run vinegar or bleach through the washer, vinegar or bleach in the dishwasher, clean the dishwasher strainer, check light bulbs in vent hood and change charcoal filter, electrical system check-make sure gfci work with a tester (not the button), check all bulbs, fans, and outlets, plumbing check for leaking toilets, dripping p traps under the sinks, you can also check resistance on electrical water heater elements to make sure they aren't busted.

I don't know how it works out, but sometimes it appears the lender's desire to do the deal factors in.One other spot of good news is every commercial appraisal I've had done recently is an average of three approaches: income, cost to build, and comparable sales.
