When an appraiser is adjusting a comp to match the subject property, he or she will use an adjustment based on the difference in square footage.

Hello everyone , can someone share what I could use as the square footage multiplier for a medium and heavy rehab in Fairfield county, CT ? 

I wanted to use the camera footage as evidence in a civil case against the tenant.I was initially told that it would take 2 weeks to get the footage to me, then that blew out to several months, and now finally 6 months later they finally get back to me and tell me the footage doesn't exist, even though the initial report said cameras were activated.That footage would have shown that the tenant was making threats to damage my property (which she made good on).Do I have any recourse on the police for failing to provide the footage on a timely basis?

I have noticed quite a few posters lately that are requesting help, opinions, prices and information on their properties where a good answer would require either the square footage, the location or both....and they provide neither.

My thinking immediately turned to researching local rental costs per square foot to determine income potential with triple the current square footage.

Figuring out the true cost will heavily depend on the type of dig down, depth, and total square footage. 

Aloha Jinxiang,  did the plumber walk you through the camera footage? 

Whether it’s reconfiguring layouts, adding square footage, or converting single-family homes into multi-unit rentals, the goal is to unlock value where others don’t see it.Distressed properties aren’t for everyone, but for those willing to put in the work, they offer some of the best returns in real estate. 

I agree with the notes above but will also caution you to make sure you're very conservative in your underwriting for the multi-family properties with more square footage.

- Renting it Out: The likely rent I'd get in this area will cover half my mortgage payments at the moment- Add Square Footage: Taxes will likely go up significantly- Build an ADU: Overall ROI will likely not offset much since it'll still be counted as value tied to the one house- Selling Off Land: Sits on .5 acre that I might be able to sell.
