# Property Assessor Underwriting Rules
|
||||
|
||||
## Goal
|
||||
|
||||
Turn messy property data into a fast investor or buyer decision without pretending precision where the data is weak.
|
||||
|
||||
## Practical heuristics
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Use the most comparable comp set first
|
||||
- For condos: same-building active and sold comps first.
|
||||
- For houses or townhomes: same subdivision or immediate micro-area first.
|
||||
- Expand outward only when the close comp set is thin.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Fixed carrying costs can kill a deal
|
||||
High HOA, insurance, taxes, or unusual maintenance burden can make a property unattractive even when price-per-sqft looks cheap.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Waterfront, coastal, older, or unusual properties deserve extra skepticism
|
||||
Assume elevated insurance, maintenance, and assessment risk until proven otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. DOM and price cuts are negotiation signals, not automatic value
|
||||
Long market time helps the buyer, but a stale listing can still be a mediocre deal if the economics are weak.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Unknowns must stay visible
|
||||
If reserve studies, bylaws, STR rules, assessment history, lease restrictions, or condition details are missing, list them explicitly as unresolved diligence items.
|
||||
|
||||
## Minimum comp stack
|
||||
|
||||
For each property, aim to collect:
|
||||
- target listing facts
|
||||
- same-building or same-micro-area active listings
|
||||
- sold listings if available
|
||||
- nearby similar properties
|
||||
- rent or lease signals when investment analysis matters
|
||||
|
||||
## Carry framework
|
||||
|
||||
At minimum, estimate:
|
||||
- P&I
|
||||
- taxes monthly
|
||||
- HOA monthly if applicable
|
||||
- insurance assumption or uncertainty note
|
||||
- effective carry range after maintenance / vacancy / property friction
|
||||
|
||||
If the listing already provides an estimated payment, use it as the starting point, then explain what it leaves out.
|
||||
|
||||
## STR / rental notes
|
||||
|
||||
Never assume STR viability from location alone. Confirm or explicitly mark as unknown:
|
||||
- HOA restrictions
|
||||
- minimum stay rules
|
||||
- city or building constraints
|
||||
- whether the micro-location is truly tourist-driven or just adjacent to something attractive
|
||||
|
||||
## Verdict language
|
||||
|
||||
Use one of these:
|
||||
- `Buy` — pricing and risk support action now
|
||||
- `Pass` — weak economics or too much unresolved risk
|
||||
- `Only below X` — decent candidate only if bought at a materially lower basis
|
||||
|
||||
## Suggested memo template
|
||||
|
||||
### Snapshot
|
||||
- Address
|
||||
- Source links checked
|
||||
- Price / type / beds / baths / sqft / HOA / taxes / DOM
|
||||
|
||||
### Market read
|
||||
- Same-building or same-area active inventory
|
||||
- Nearby active comps
|
||||
- Any sold signals
|
||||
|
||||
### Economics
|
||||
- Base carry
|
||||
- Effective carry range
|
||||
- Rent / STR comments when relevant
|
||||
|
||||
### Risk flags
|
||||
- HOA or fixed-cost burden
|
||||
- insurance / waterfront / age
|
||||
- reserves / assessments / restrictions if relevant
|
||||
- liquidity / DOM
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommendation
|
||||
- Fair value range
|
||||
- Opening offer
|
||||
- Ceiling offer
|
||||
- Final verdict
