What makes them similar is lot size, square footage, bedroom count, bathroom count, parking, and other amenities.But another huge factor that I don't see mentioned, is that it's clear to me appraisers are also putting a lot of weight on the contract price.I can't explain why, perhaps an appraiser can weigh in here.

Bogdan Naescu My tenant wants a dumpster - good or bad idea ?
1 April 2023 | 9 replies
The trash trucks are huge and make a very loud wining, banging, beeping, diesel engine revving, sounds--sometimes before dawn.Sometimes they leak smelly drippings from their loads, that someone will have to deal with cleaning up.Sometimes they blow hydrolic lines and mess up the parking lot, and someone will have to deal with them (trying to) get them to clean that mess up.Anything outside the dumpster does not get picked up.The dumpster area should be sanitized from time to time if there is food waste or grease on the pavement (who will do that, and who will pay for it, and who will ensure it is being done as scheduled).You may want to fence it off, the dumpster company may require an pre open fence gate, and may not close it upon leaving--someone will have to prepare the gate for pickup and secure it when done.If you have a lot of Hobo's in the area begging, expect them to discover it's fenced area as a night time sleep spot and latrine area--do you have security to boot them, some one will have to do this (and clean up any physical mess left behind as a gift).The route to the dumpster will have to handle the weight of the dumpster truck, or it will crumble the path over time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?
