There was an instance before of one investor I knew who bought a house at auction.When the city annexed the area years ago houses had the option of connected to the street sewer and the city did it but it costs many thousands of dollars.This particular property owner connected to the street themselves without telling the city.So the new owner buys it and city wants to impose unknown usage charges and fines for years of illegal hook up.The property was having bathtub and drain issues and at first the new buyer couldn't figure out what was going on.The previous owner didn't also decommission the old sewage tank properly.The city worked with them to refix the line but they still had to pay reduced fines etc.

But, maybe house quality doesn't matter to renters as much as own baths, garages, storage, etc.Perhaps I shouldn't be including utilities.

No clue what so ever.So if we adjust the values with just the sqft:Comp 1: -$29454.96 = $100,545.04 (Minus 1 Bed Plus 1 Garage)Comp 2: +$6368.64 = $114,868.64 (Minus 1 Bed and Minus 1 Bath)Comp 3: -$15523.56 = $114,476.44 (Minus 1 Bed)Comp 4: -$23617.04 = $107,382.96 (Minus 1 Bed Plus 1 Garage)Okay, here's some more calculations assuming a 1 bed or bath is worth $1,500 and a 1 car Garage is worth $2,500 on top of the previous calculations.
