Limitations and assumptions
- Real properties differ in location, condition, leases, zoning, title, taxes, financing, vacancy, capital needs, environmental risk, and market liquidity. Forecasts and ratios are not appraisals, loan offers, tax opinions, or investment advice.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
