Domenic, I've never quantified things as exactly as I think you're asking for when I've done comps, though I think appraisers do use more of that kind of precise adjustment.I'm sure this answer will frustrate you, but doing comps is unfortunately, at least in my experience, as much an art as a science.I usually focus on trying to get the comps as close as possible on the dimensions that matter most to buyers/renters.

Finally, there's a business district in the center of town with museums, restaurants, art galleries, etc.Ok, that's the quick and cursory overview of the city, I left a LOT out. 

Hello,I'm just starting the process of being a landlord for the first time - i'm wondering if most landlords are still doing the old fashioned "mail the check in" or if any of you use autopay/electronic deposit options?

We are scheduled to be in SA next week (June 12) and in between meetings with many of your most excellent arts institutions, we would also like to check out the local real estate BP community!

I would not use PayPal, here is a good article: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/1714/14000-should-you-collect-rent-electronically-online.

@Art Perkitny Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for!

Trading stocks is an art, it takes skill, and information. 

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.Software does have extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

I suspect this is more of an art than a science and would love to hear some different ideas. 

Property management platform Appfoliio, which is very good, will automate this for you and automatically calculate and bill the tenants, and they can pay electronically.
