    Answered Questions

    Commerical or residential property, which has more value?

    The most prudent way to determine this is to have a highest and best use assessment completed. I would recommend engaging a top-performing agent and/or local, seasoned appraiser to aid you in that determination. It would be difficult to answer that question without having that input, even based on the summary you provided. Good luck! -Derek
