For a long term hold, time and my value add will create my spread. 

A lot of times it is pulling value from thin air.

I think it would give it a little bump in value but it all depends on the buyer.

I just got a notice from the MD department of assessments & taxation that the value of my property will increase from 120k to 261k , spread out over 3 years equally.This is a ridiculous increase of 118%.

Looking my insurance policy it mentions that I can opt for settlement under Actual Cash Value vs Replacement Cost. 

. - Value add - How much does it cost to build additional storage units? 

It feels like the focus has shifted from creating value to chasing quick payouts, with little regard for the end buyer.

The mortgage guy told me the other house would be treated as an ADU and give me no real value towards the value of my future mortgage.Not sure if that helps much?

While it might feel like an extra charge to tenants, these packages often provide value that indirectly benefits the property owner as well—like reduced maintenance calls or ensuring the property is better protected.In my experience managing a large portfolio of properties, these fees are becoming more common due to the thin margins in property management.

My budget is in the $200-250K range.Please feel free to let me know if additional details would help, and thank you in advance for your time and advice!
