B

The
property
address
is
4629
East,
Lake,
Harriet,
Parkway
Minneapolis,
my
sister
and
I
own
this
home,
although
neither
one
of
us
resides
in
Minnesota
now
its
own
home.
We
grew
up
in
I'm,
a
Washington
High,
School
grad,
as
well
as
University
of
Minnesota,
but
I
managed
to
fall
in
love
with
a
New
Yorker,
and
that's
that's
where
I
am
now,
although
we
hope
to
move
back
to
Minneapolis
once
our
girls
are
launched,
the
home
46:29,
we
believe,
is
the
first
home
built
on
the
lake.
H
It's
like
an
old-fashioned
lake
home
like
the
lake
homes,
used
to
look
on
Lake
Minnetonka,
it's
relatively
small.
It's
a
2,200
square
foot
home
was
with
four
bedrooms
full
bath.
Upstairs
a
half
bath
downstairs.
It
had
a
remodel
when
my
parents
bought
it
in
the
60s
and
since
then
it
hasn't
had
any
additional
work
done
to
it.
H
The
you
know,
I
took
note
of
this
stepped-up
estimated
market
value
from
765
to
over
a
million
dollars
in
and
put
it
in
the
context
of
the
house
next
door
that
sold
last
year,
which
which,
which
I
included
you
know
as
an
attachment.
I,
don't
know
a
few
members
have
that
in
front
of
you,
but
it
is
a
home
that
that
is
on
a
lot.
That
is
almost
exactly
the
same
size.
It
is.
H
It
is
over
three
times
the
square
footage
it
has
has
four
bedrooms
and
five
baths
and
it
sold
last
year
for
a
million
three
and
I.
It
just
struck
me
when
I
looked
at
this
valuation,
given
the
fact
that
most,
if
anyone
bought
our
home,
it
would
likely
be
a
teardown
and
somebody
would
do
new
construction.
It
struck
me
that
that
a
house
next
door
selling
for
a
million
three
and
our
old
home
being
valued
at
over
a
million
dollars
was,
was
excessive.

Hello
Amy
Gagne,
my
address
at
my
office
is
4915
West
35th
street
suite
102
st.
Louis
Park
Minnesota,
five
by
four
one,
six,
the
unit
that
we're
thinking
about
right
now
and
I'm
with
mr.
Paz
Sela
who's,
the
owner
of
sell
investments,
3701
Westlake,
Street
and
I'm
gonna.
Let
mr.
solo
speak
with
you.
Thank
you,
hello,.
M
M
3701
one
Westlake
Street
built
in
the
60s
18
unit,
building
all
one-bedroom
units
roughly
about
725
750.
Where
fruit
you
guys
assessed
that
building
at
a
million
850
in
2019
and
20
the
valuation
jump
to
2
million
127,
which
is
almost
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
close
to
$300,000
increase,
which
is
about
18
19
percent
increase.
We
do
believe
that
the
price
went
up
from
19
to
20,
but
we
don't
believe
that
it
went
up
by
300,000
close
to
$300,000
by
18
percent.
I.
B
L
J
L
B
L
L

N
N
What
we're
appealing
about
basically
is
this
is
that
the
we
feel
that
the
assessed
valuation
of
six
hundred
sixty
eight
thousand
five
hundred,
which
was
the
same
value
that
was
on
last
year's
statement.
His
excessive
is
high
in
that
looking
at
the
houses
on
our
block
and
surrounding
us
are
very
similar
in
size
of
roughly
twenty
one
to
twenty
two
hundred
square
feet
according
to
the
property
evaluation
and
therefore
they're,
four
bedrooms,
they're
all
one
half
full
bath,
one
half
bath,
etc,
etc.
N
On
in
nineteen,
in
2017,
our
assessed
valuation
was
five
thousand
or
five
hundred
seventy
six
thousand
five
hundred
and
the
increase
to
six
sixty
eight,
it
is
a-
was
a
16%
increase
on
it.
We
do
not
have
a
first-floor
bathroom.
We
have
a
1
car
attached
garage
on
a
partially
finished
basement,
which
contains
my
Mike
mancave
on
it.
You
know
letter
that
I
said
I
said
that
that
valuation
should
be
in
the
neighborhood
of
six
hundred
and
forty
thousand
give
or
take
I
think
that's
a
little
high
for
it.
N
I
just
tried
to
relate
the
property
north
of
us
at
fifty
130
Fremont
sold
in
2019.
It's
the
same
size,
one
four
bedrooms,
one
and
a
half
bath
with
a
two-car
garage,
that's
sold
for
four
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars
within
is
an
initial
asking
price
of
five
hundred
twenty
five
thousand
on
it,
its
market
value
for
twenty
twenty
one.
It's
going
to
be
five
hundred
and
thirty
nine
thousand
the
house
to
the
to
the
south
of
us
as
an
assessed
valuation
of
seven
hundred
and
two
thousand
five
hundred
dollars,
but
it
has
two
bedrooms.
N
Excuse
me
four
bedrooms,
two
baths,
one
of
the
first
floor
also
as
two-car
garage
we
have
a
one
car
garage,
I
may
repeat
on
that
across
the
street,
from
us
at
50,
39
to
Fremont,
there's
a
house:
it's
on
the
market
currently
on
the
market.
Again,
four
bedrooms,
one
bath
does
not
have
a
bath.
On
the
first
floor,
it
has
an
assessed
valuation
of
five
hundred.
N
Seventy
seven
thousand
five
hundred
the
initial
asking
price
when
it
was
put
on
up
for
sale
in
the
fall
with
six
hundred
twenty-five
thousand,
it
has
been
reduced
to
six
hundred
thousand.
It
was
reduced.
Excuse
me
to
six
hundred
thousand
is
currently
on
the
market.
At
five
hundred
and
fifty
nine
thousand
across
the
street
from
us
directly
across
there's
also
a
house
and
a
similar
to
ours,
except
that
it
has
a
first-floor
bathroom
and
it
has
a
two-car
garage.
N
We
feel
that
the
bathrooms
not
having
a
bathroom
on
the
first
floor
and
having
a
one
car
garage,
are
mitigating
factors
that
would
reduce
the
value
of
our
house
on
it.
That's
about
all
I've
got
disabled
for
right
now.
If
you
have
any
questions
well,
let
me
add
one
thing
in
the
we
in
the
next-door
neighbor
flyer
that
comes
out,
we
received
a
the
late.
The
last
value
shows
the
estimate
by
by
Keller.
N
B
B
B
L
M
As
I
said
before
any
of
this
morning,
we
have
about
eight
properties
on
University
Avenue,
South
East.
Most
of
them
are
rented
to
lower-income
and
student
student
housing.
This
is
one
of
our
smaller
unit
size,
building
it's
30
unit.
Building
again
it
was
built
in
the
60s.
The
text
value
in
2019
was
two
million
seven,
forty
nine,
let's
say
750
from
the
number
and
in
2020
it's
jumping
to
3
million
to
99,
let's
say
3,
3
million
three
hundred
over
22%.
M
We
feel
that
the
2019
reflect
better
valuation
of
this
building.
We
understand
about
increases,
but
we
don't
feel
that
more
than
five
or
six
percent
increase
from
19
to
20s
warranted
a
rental
this
building
or
anywhere
between
$850
to
950
I.
Don't
think
that
we've
done
any
major
in
order
to
D
into
any
major
renovations
or
replace
kitchens.
We
do
maintain
the
buildings,
they're
well
maintained,
and
that's
it
for
this
one.
It's
just
their
jump
of
almost
500
over
half
a
million
dollars.
$550,000
is
just
I.
M

M
B
M
M
L
B
Okay,
oh
no
I
got
a
better
understanding.
Thank
you
with
no
other
questions.
We'll
move
on
to
your
next
property

LLP,
please
state

and
then

L
M
Pretty
much
the
same
same
point:
at
a
waste
Oh
nineteen,
the
value
was
a
million
eight
eight
eight,
it's
jumping
in
twenty
two,
two
million
to
two
six
six,
which
is
over
20
percent
increase.
We
we
understand
that
they
should
be
an
increase,
but
we
don't
believe
that
this
property
went
up
twenty
percent
in
value
about
twenty
four
units
about
650
square
foot
unit,
so
they're
on
the
smaller
size.
M
L
B
L
B
A
But
at
that
time
the
appraiser
said
she
couldn't
change
2019.
That
I'd
have
to
appeal
that
and
then
I
had
some
medical
issues
arise
and
different
things
that
did
not
get
2019
appealed.
So
2019
stayed
at
that
one
point:
three:
seven:
four
five
and
then
2020
test
eight
at
that
number.
Two
that
value
seems
high
again,
that's
a
16%
increase
off
of
the
2017
value.
I
included
some
sales
for
the
period
of
October
of
2018
to
September
of
2019
I
believe
that
straight
period,
so
appeal
for
2020.
A
A
The
value
is
seems
overvalued
and
then
also
one
of
the
comps
I
listed
on.
There
is
actually
that
next-door
neighbor
they
sold
their
house
for
1.2
million
and
it's
being
torn
down.
So
if
you
consider
that
is
the
land
value,
that
lot
is
over
twice
as
big
as
my
lot
and
I
have
a
easement
to
use
the
driveway
in
that
lock.
My
light,
isn't
even
big
enough
to
have
a
driveway
on
so
I
think
that
also
impairs
the
value.
A
But
if
you
were
to
take
that
1.2
million
and
and
say
my
Lots
half
the
size,
six
hundred
thousand
for
the
land
value.
My
current
plan
value
assessments
is
eight
hundred
and
thirty,
two
thousand
seven
hundred.
So
that
seems
a
couple
hundred
thousand
high
and
then
the
building
assessed
value
to
also
is
ninety
thousand
higher
than
it
was
back
in
2017.
That
would
be
Oh
2018
when
it
was
reduced.
Nineteen
thousand,
when
the
appraiser
she
came
through
the
house
and
we
haven't
done
any
renovations
since
then.
A
A
Stairs
the
outside
stairs
I,
don't
know
if
that
should
be
factored
in
or
not.
That
was
about
$7,500,
but
that
was
a
repair
to
keep
the
property
up
and
you
know
we'll
be
doing
some
landscaping
this
year
and
we
plan
to
do
the
remodels.
But
in
the
meantime
you
know
the
value
seems
high
compared
to
other
comparables
in
the
neighborhood,
for
given
the
size
of
the
house
and
the
size
of
the
lot.
A
A
A
B
B
O
I,
hello,
everybody,
my
name
is
Jade
plank
I'm,
the
property
owner
property
address
is
1007,
26th,
Avenue,
Northeast
and
I
am
defeating
the
psst
Lu.
As
this
projected
assessment
is
three
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand.
They
saw
in
fair
market
value,
air
assessment,
I
purchased
this
property
September
of
2018
or.
J
O
2019,
so
just
a
couple
months
ago,
purchased
it
on
the
open
market
it
was
listed.
There
were
eight
offers
on
this.
I
was
the
highest
and
I
was
accepted
at
two
hundred
and
seventy
two
thousand
dollars
so
based
on
that
under
open
market,
it's
worth
272
I
did
include
the
Ulta
settlement,
real
estate
settlement
to
show
my
purchase
price
at
272
without
any
concessions
to
the
board.
P
I
B
B
It
is
well
the
board
will
consider
an
act
on
those
appeals
that
were
made
between
the
foreign

period.

Are
there
any
questions
or
discussions
from
board
members
related
to
this
property
or
member
bland.
E
F
Think
in
that
case,
when
you
see
a
discrepancy
like
that,
I
think
the
Assessor
is
kind
of
implying
that
it's
a
teardown
and
they
value
it.
The
whole
thing
of
them
just
subtract,
the
land
value
and
that's
how
you
end
up
with
the
building
value,
I'm,
not
sure
it's
terribly
insightful,
but
maybe
someone
on
the
Assessors
team
can
comment
on
their.
I
Chair
anderson
and
board
members,
it
is
correct.
We
are
focused
on
the
total
market
value,
not
they
break
down
between
the
land
value
in
the
building
value.
As
you
know,
we
value
properties
and
utilizing
mass
appraisal
techniques
and
we
did
adjust
land
values
this
year.
In
some
areas
they
were
rather
significant
because
the
land
hadn't
been
seen
any
adjustments
in
several
years.
So
we
mr.
tinker
is
correct
in
that
we
set
a
total
value,
and
in
this
case
it
was
a
reallocation,
then
between
the
land
value
in
the
building
value.

Mr.

J

Great
great,
basically
I
outlined
a
value
that
I've
gotten
from
the
realtor
and
then
outlining
repairs
that
they're
recommending
to
do
to
get
it
up
to
the
250
that
she's
saying
that
I
could
sell
the
property
for
otherwise
it
would
be
closer
to
235
and
that's
your
first
sheet.
Basically
with
the
market
analysis.
Okay,.
B
J
I
also
have
had
other
companies
come
through
for
just
what
they'd
buy
the
house
out
outright
for,
like
you
know,
we
buy
ugly
houses
that
sort
of
thing
and
homestead
road
came
through
with
a
risk
of
an
offer,
but
not
even
at
two
hundred
thousand.
So
they
basically
said
that
they,
this
isn't
a
type
of
property
that
they
would
buy,
that
they
actually
advised
me
in
a
self
through
a
realtor
as
well.
If
I
were
going
to
do
that.
B
R
J
B
J
B
J
B
P
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
silver:
anima
I
am
the
owner
at
twenty
five.
Twenty
eight
feels
very
Avenue
South.
My
wife
and
I
also
lived
on
the
property
and
appreciate
the
time
to
give
me
this
opportunity
to
discuss
this
concern
that
I
have
about
the
valuation.
It's
not
only
about
the
proposed
value
that
I
am
doubtful
of.
Also
the
previous
year
is,
in
my
opinion,
a
little
bit.
P
Of
course,
I've
submitted
a
couple
of
documents,
also
some
comps,
and
some
of
them
are
not
comparable
of
due
to
their
size
or
other
details,
but
this
is
kind
of
the
best
that
we
were
able
to
do
and
actually
stay
in
our
neighborhood,
compare
it
to
the
houses
that
have
been
sold.
Basically,
our
house
is
and
has
been
listed
as
a
four-bedroom
and
they're.
One
of
the
rooms
actually
is
a
den
or
an
office.
It's
not,
it
doesn't
have
a
closet
and
it
doesn't
really
work
as
a
bedroom.
P
I
think
what
I'd
like
to
really
emphasize
is
the
the
property
we
brought
in
in
December,
and
it
had
been
on
the
market
since
September
and
I
am
aware
of
the
fact
that
there
were
no
other
offers
than
ours
that
we
made
late
November,
because
we
simply
we
liked
the
house,
and
we
want
to
be
close
to
the
to
downtown
and,
like
I
said
it
was
the
only
offer
and
we
would
have
loved
to
wait
a
little
bit
longer
to
have
better
leverage
for
for
bidding
for
what
we
actually
thought.
It
would
be
worse.
P
We
paid
five
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
for
it,
and
at
that
point
we
had
already
sold
our
condos
to
livre.
We
we
had
to
move
and
if
we're
really
talking
about
the
the
values
that
are
given
to
that,
we
paid
the
property
taxes
on
being
the
fair
market
value,
the
market
value
that
I
could
actually
sell
it.
Today.
P
We
are
in
an
old
house
that
was
built,
1908
I,
believe,
and
there
are
quite
a
few
original
things
in
the
household
that
will
need
significant
repair
in
the
future
and
basically,
where
the
block
also
is
between
25th
and
26th
and
Pillsbury.
It
has
gotten
very
busy
parking
is,
is
it's
very
tricky
because
of
the
apartment
buildings
that
we
are
so
surrounded
with
and.
P
P
P
F
B
B
O
Name
is
Jade
plank
the
property
address
of
610
Van
Buren,
Street,
Northeast
Minneapolis,
so
I
had
sent
over
some
documentation
want
to
make
sure
the
board
has
a
I
have
peel
comps
with
explanations
all
run
through,
as
well
as
a
desktop
appraisal
that
was
completed
in
March
of
2019,
with
an
estimated
value
of
three
hundred
fifty
one
thousand
that
also
listed
ten
comps
in
that
same
zip
code,
an
area
of
Northeast
Minneapolis
that
were
all
sold
recently
with
bedrooms,
bathrooms
and
square
footage.
We.
O
So
on
the
appraisal,
you'll
state
that
when
the
bank
said
March
of
2019,
they
estimated
the
value
at
three
hundred
and
fifty
one
thousand
based
on
information
and
comps
in
the
area.
You'll
see
that
there
were
properties
listed
on
the
same
block.
Two
blocks
over
that
were
average
square
footage
about
the
same
or
larger
that
sold
in
that
same
price
range
biggest
thing.
For
me,
as
this
is
a
two
unit,
duplex
I
did
include
comps
for
all
of
the
duplexes
in
the
area.
This
property
has
not
had
significant
updates
since
I
bought
it.
O
O
It
only
has
one
furnace
for
both
units,
so
they
are
not
separated.
It
is
also
located
pretty
much
right
off
Central,
Avenue
and
Northeast,
which
is
very
busy.
Has
a
bus
stop
right
there.
So
at
times,
they'll
have
people
walking
in
and
out
at
the
bus.
Stop
in
your
yard
has
three
bars
located
within
half
a
block
at
and
most
of
the
time
have
parked
in
front
of
your
house,
so
may
accept
something
very
bad.
O
If
you
look
at
the
comps
that
I
have
included
in
the
list,
these
are
all
properties
that
have
sold
in
the
themes
that
cold
sigh,
five,
four
one
three
within
the
last
six
months
to
a
year,
so
the
first
one
that
was
ten
eleven
nineteen,
a
veneer
of
2019.
So
just
recently
for
three
hundred
and
thirty
nine
thousand
that
property
actually
has
more
bedrooms
than
my
property.
K
G
O
Six
thousand
in
November
of
twenty
twenty
twenty.
Second,
that
has
a
whole
square
footage
of
three
hundred
and
thirty,
two
or
three
thousand
three
hundred
and
thirty-two
square
feet.
That
would
make
that
over
eight
hundred
square
feet
larger
than
mine
lot.
Size
is
also
larger,
and
that
also
has
one
more
bedroom
and
has
been
fully
remodeled
and
rehabbed.
With
all
new
kitchens
bathrooms
appliances,
electrical
and
separating
two.
L
K
O
Sold
for
355
again
same
zip
code
about
the
same
approximate
square
footage,
but
this
property
has
seven
bedrooms,
so
that
would
be
three
bedrooms
larger
than
mine
and
sold
through
355
721
Adams
sold
for
407
on
April
3rd
of
this
year,
six
bedrooms.
So
that
would
put
that
with
two
more
bedrooms:
three
bathrooms,
which
is
another
bathroom,
and
it
was
over
600
square
feet
more
and
a
lot
size
was
2700,
more
square
feet,
736
Quincy
sold
in
April
twenty
twenty
three
hundred
fifty
three
thousand
similar.
It's
an
up-and-down
duplex
mine.
O
However,
the
property
has
been
recently
updated
with
new
paint
citing
water
here,
rough
furnace
and
appliances
with
completely
separated
utilities,
so
1811
Quincy,
Soldier
396
in
the
summer
property,
was
completely
updated
with
all
new
mechanicals,
a
new
two-car
garage
with
separated
Souls
from
a
rental
income
standpoint,
and
it
was
completely
rehabbed
all
the
way
down
to
the
studs.
And
it's
a
lot
size
is
2700
square
feet
more
than
mine.
So
just
giving
you
guys
comparables
to
take
a
look
at
I,
have
disputed
my
property
taxes
with
Buster
a
few
times
in
the
last
few
years.
O
Last
year
my
property
tax
went
up
10%
when
the
Minneapolis
area,
Realtors
market
report
for
Northeast,
went
up
five
and
a
half
percent
the
year
before
my
property
tax
went
up
11%
when
that
same
neighborhood
went
up
nine
point
four
and
a
year
before
that
mine
went
up
20%
when
the
Northeast
area
went
up.
7.1%
I
have
not
done
anything
significant
to
my
property
to
raise
that,
and
in
addition
to
that,
this
would
be
another
18%
increase
based
on
from
last
year
to
this
year,
I've.
S
K
O
G
Q
O
B
B
B
O
B
B
Q
B
B
Q
Q
Okay,
so
on
the
second
page
there
is
a
and
I
I
do
have
them
written
on
there.
But
if
you
look
at
the
second
page
at
the
very
top,
that's
the
only
area
that
is
finished
in
the
basement
and
then,
when
you,
when
you
go
from
that
top
area
that
says
finished
basement
in
it,
then
you'll
see
the
next
area
says
unfinished
basement
unheated
finished
basement.
Q
So
in
there
there
are
cement
floor
and
there
is
electricity
in
there,
and
but
none
of
the
rest
of
the
basement
is
heated
only
that
one
area
that
says
finished
basement
is
heated
and
so
the
rest
has
cement
floors
and
is
unheated
and
the
furnace
that
is
in
there
in
the
house
has
been
in
the
house
since
I
bought
it
30
years
ago.
So
that
also
does
need
updating,
but
we're
listing
along
with
it
as
it
is
so.
Q
The
square
footage
that
you
have
is
wrong
in
the
first
place
and
I
mean
in
even
if
I,
if
even
if
we
added
every
single
inch,
your
square
footage
does
not
match
reality.
You've
got
way
too
much
square
footage
in
this
house
and
then
so.
That's
the
first
two
pages
outline
how
much
square
footage
there
is
in
there
and
I
wasn't
sure
how
you
organize
what's
finished
and
what
isn't
finished.
So
that's
why
I
went
into
such
detail,
telling
you
what
what
was
unfinished
and
what
was
unheated
in
that
lower
level.
Q
O
Q
Thank
you
so
much
that
so
little
time
so
I,
the
other
pages
I
sent
you
are
photos
of
the
condition
of
the
house
and
the
lastly
are
is
Market.
Analysis
that
I
have
had
done
with
the
comp
say
is
stating
how
much
this
house
would
be
worth.
I
was
thinking
about
selling
at
last
year,
so
that
is
over
a
year
old,
but
so
I
just
think
that
your
your
value
is
really
high,
like
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Hi.
B
Q
B
Q
B
T
My
name
is
Mary
Ellen
rantin,
my
address
is
three
one.
One,
eight
Cleveland
Street
northeast
and
I
am
appealing
my
current
property
valuation
for
my
2021
taxes,
based
on
some
comparables
that
I've
seen
recently,
there's
been
a
couple
of
foams
sold
within
a
few
blocks,
and
one
actually
right
on
my
block
in
the
past.
T
Well,
actually,
a
few
months,
the
home
at
31:51,
Cleveland
Street,
which
is
just
right
up
the
street
from
me,
was
built
in
1940,
so
similar
age,
similar
square
feet.
There
is
a
listed
at
1521.
Mine
was
listed
at
fifteen
thirty
four,
when
I
purchased
it
in
April
of
2018,
both
three
bedrooms,
one
bath
and
that
sold
in
the
past
month
or
so
for
two
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars.
T
The
other
property
that
I
have
been
watching
was
at
32
42,
Garfield
Street,
which
is
just
a
few
blocks
west,
that
sold
in
March
of
2024
to
84
nine
that
also
had
three
bedrooms
and
a
bathroom.
The
property
at
Garfield
also
had
a
deck,
and
the
thing
that
the
two
properties
that
I've
just
referenced
have
that
mine
doesn't
have
is
a
solid,
stable,
two-car
garage
in
the
back
of
the
property.
I
do
have
a
garage
that
would
be
large
enough
for
two
cars.
T
It
has
currently
has
a
single
plus
size
door
on
it,
but
the
subfloor
the
slab
is
heaving
and
the
structure
is
not
salvageable.
I've
had
somebody
look
at
it
and
it
just
needs
to
be
torn
down
and
rebuilt.
So
my
thought
is
that
if
I
were
going
to
compete
with
these
other
listings,
not
that
I
plan
to
sell
it,
but
if
I
were
I
would
need
to
have.
T
T
So
with
that
I
thought
I
would
appeal
and
hopefully
get
that
a
little
closer
to
what
I
think
would
be
reality
which
is
I'm
guessing
someone
in
the
two
80s
that
I
could
possibly
ask
for
my
house
I'm,
hoping
that
it
would
be
worth
more
I'm
assuming
it
would
be
worth
more
than
what
I
paid
for
it
two
years
ago,
but
again,
I
haven't
made
any
improvements,
with
the
exception
of
replacing
a
water
heater
and
some
corroded
plumbing
lines
in
the
basement.
So
that's
it.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Okay,.
B
T
B
B
U
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Tim
sheets:
I
am
the
owner
occupants
of
condo
2
9
0
Market
Street
unit
502
minneapolis,
5,
5,
4,
5
I,
appreciate
you
taking
the
time
to
hear
this
out,
I
think
to
start
it's
important
that
I
know
that
I
have
been
a
full-time
licensed
real
estate
agent
for
the
past
12
years.
This
is
an
owner
occupied
condo,
so
the
data
I
believe
is
quite
a
bit
simpler
than
some
of
the
case.
If
you've
heard
prior
to
me,
so
I
will
keep
it
real
simple.
U
There
are
six
main
floors
in
my
building
for
3
through
8
the
floors
6
7
&
8
have
unobstructed
views
facing
north
floor
3
4,
&
5
that
parking
lot
affected
views,
units,
Oh
and
oh
3
on
each
floor
are
exactly
the
same.
They
are
each
1295
square
feet.
The
o3
units
which
I
do
not
have
I,
have
a
no
two
units
are
considered
more
desirable
because
they
do
not
have
a
shared
balcony.
I
have
a
divider
on
my
balcony
that
I
share
with
the
old
one
units.
U
There
are
a
couple
of
things
that
make
the
sales
price
fluctuate.
In
my
building,
the
main
one
being
the
number
of
parking
spots
that
are
in
the
underground
garage,
most
of
them
have
to
mine
only
has
one
they
do
not
have
separate
PID
numbers
as
many
of
the
kind
of
do
down
here.
So
the
only
way
to
note
that
is
through
the
MLS,
so
the
last
time
they
parking
stall
has
traded
I'm
in
the
building,
the
sale
price
of
thousand
dollars.
U
So
I'm-
assuming
for
this,
that
that's
roughly
the
price
other
than
that
they
are
exactly
the
same
other
than
which
second
bedroom
is
either
a
wide-open
lock
or
actually
a
closed-off
bedroom.
The
close
up
better,
obviously
being
more
desirable
for
those
who
have
kids
so
I
just
want
to
talk
about
the
sales
prices
of
them
all.
I
bought
mine
at
a
foreclosure
auction
three
years
ago
for
two
hundred
sixty
seven
thousand
and
some
change
after
fees,
I
have
put
no
significant
money
into
it
other
than
a
new
washer
and
dryer
and
some
paint.
U
So
let's
talk
about
the
sale.
The
most
applicable
sale
was
my
immediate
neighbor
who
sold
a
year
ago
and
Mark
the
exact
same
unit
without
the
shared
deck
it
had
two
garage
stalls
rather
than
one
and
it
had
the
closed
in
bedroom
rather
than
the
open
bedroom
that
I
have
that's
sold
in
multiple
offers
for
three
hundred
and
thirty
three
thousand
dollars.
So
if
I
subtract,
20
thousand
for
the
parking
spot,
a
nominal
amount
for
the
bedroom
being
closed
in
I
have
to
make
mine
to
be
comparatively
about
three
ten.
U
When
we
go
up
the
floors
with
the
better
views
unit,
703
had
a
net
sales
price
of
three
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
that
also
had
to
closed
in
bedrooms,
as
well
as
to
drop
sauce
a
little
bit
older
of
the
sale
in
November
of
2017
unit
803.
The
penthouse
floor
of
my
building
sold
in
July
1958
unit
also
had
to
closed
in
bedrooms
as
well
as
two
garage
stalls.
U
So
that
being
said,
I
think
if
I
were
to
list
mine
the
best-case
scenario
we're
looking
at
three
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars,
it's
almost
impossible
to
purchase
an
additional
parking
space
because
it's
limited
parking
and
no
one
wants
to
give
them
up.
I
mean
not
sure
what
other
information
might
be
helpful
to
you.
But
I
certainly
am
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
that
may
exist
all.
B
U
Well,
the
penthouse
floor
of
the
regular
style
building,
so
there
are
two
floors
above
floor
eight
each
unit
floor.
Nine
is
its
whole
own
unit,
okay,
so
that's
an
1,800
square
foot
penthouse!
It's
completely
irrelevant,
to
my
say,
on
the
unit
above
that
as
a
2,800
square
foot,
penthouse
owned
by
a
Viking.
U
Salt
briefly
came
on
the
market
for
a
listing
price
of
three
hundred
and
fifty
nine
thousand
a
few
months
ago
and
cancelled
the
listing
because
of
inactivity.
So
the
the
other
item
is,
is
the
last
time
that
a
unit
at
o2
or
an
O
3
unit,
no
matter
how
many
parking
stalls
has
sold
anywhere
near
that
price
is
when
they
were
built
back
in
2006,
so
otherwise
the
highest
sale
price
of
beads.

We're
gonna
structure
our
appeal
kind
of
following
the
same
structure
as
a
recommendation
letter
that
our
realtor
sent,
which
is
attached
to
our
materials.
It's
going
to
relate
to
the
market
condition.
At
the
time
the
house
was
first
listed,
the
condition
of
the
property
and
the
current
comparative
market
analysis
that
he
was
able
to
do
for
us.
So
we'll
start
with
the
market
condition.
At
the
time
the
house
was
first
listed
in
April
of
2019.
V
It
was
a
seller's
market
and
the
Tangletown
neighborhood
had
an
average
of
33
days
on
market
and
our
sellers
went
on
in
2019,
which
is
the
peak
period
of
the
year
for
full
price
at
six
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
in
May
they
reduced
to
$5.99
and
July.
They
took
another
reduction
to
575
and
in
October
after
long
period
of
no
reduction,
the
sellers
accepted
515,000
plus
$15,000
in
closing
costs.
So
when
Tangletown
usually
sells
at
full
price
in
33
days,
our
house
was
on
the
market
for
a
hundred
and
forty-five
days.
V
We
also
would
like
to
refer
to
the
condition
of
the
property
and
our
inspection
report
is
attached,
but
some
highlight
that
may
have
affected
such
a
low
selling
price
as
the
kind
of
a
dated
decor.
There
was
a
lot
of
worn
carpet
that
might
have
turned
people
off
from
dated
wallpaper
and
failing
wallpaper
due
to
water
intrusion
on
the
walls
and
some
of
the
ceilings.
There
was
a
chimney
repair
that
was
recommended
for
$6,000,
but
the
two
big
ones
are
some
concrete
infrastructure.
V
Also,
it
had
very
poor
water
pressure
when
we
moved
in
with
all
the
old
galvanized
pipe
and
we
have
replaced
the
water
service
from
the
street
to
the
house
that-
and
that
was
a
six
thousand
dollar
bill.
But
anybody
that
would
have
come
through
the
house
would
have
noticed
very
poor
water
pressure.
So
those
are
the
things
that
the
Realtors
thought
resulted
in
such
a
long
selling
time
and
and
such
a
low
selling
price.
The
sellers
didn't
even
start
as
high
as
our
estimated
market
value.
V
They
started
at
six
twenty,
but
they
ended
up
accepting
five
fifteen
with
fifteen
thousand
dollars
in
closing
cost.
So
our
realtor
was
kind
enough
to
do.
May
20
2008
a
CH.
He
looked
at
four
or
five
properties
in
the
area
that
have
similar
access
to
Minnehaha
Creek,
which
is
one
of
the
main
selling
points
of
our
neighborhood
and.
V
V
Based
on
our
Realtors
CMAs
that
he
did
of
between
525
and
550,
that's
a
difference
of
anywhere
between
a
hundred
and
eighteen
thousand
dollars,
and
one
hundred
and
fourth
one
hundred
forty
three
thousand
dollars,
which
we
feel
is
pretty
significant,
so
we're
here
today
to
ask
for
our
taxable
market
value
for
2020
to
be
reduced
to
our
selling
price,
which
is
three
thirty
or
possibly
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
an
office.
Sorry
yeah
high
five
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
or
what
we
paid
for
it,
which
is
five
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars.
Okay,.
B
B
B
V
R
B
B
E
Reviewing
my
notes
here
and
I,
see
I
said:
information
requested
by
Assessor,
not
not
provided
I.
Think
is
what
I
wrote
so
then
I
believe
refers
to
the
two
pages
96
and
97,
which
were
letters
back
and
forth
between
the
owner
and
the
Assessor,
and
the
information
that
the
Assessor
asked
for
was
not
provided
by
the
homeowner.
B
E
B
G
B
B
B
B
B
E
B
G
E
B
G
G
B
E
E
I
just
thought
it
was
the
most
interesting
property
and
then,
when
I
got
into
real
estate
and
I
was
working
with
these
buyers
and
this
property
came
on
the
market,
wasn't
an
area
that
they
hadn't
been
looking,
but
they
were
so
taken
with
it
that
they
were
willing
to
stretch
a
little
bit
to
get
into
it.
It
required
a
lot
of
work
because
it
had
a
lot
of
deferred
maintenance.
E
Now
the
story
behind
this
is
that
it
was
built
by
James,
J
Hill
for
his
mistress,
and
that
was
they
went
to
the
James
J
Hill
house
and
saw
a
lot
of
things
in
the
Hill
House
that
were
replicated
in
this
house
in
smaller
versions.
So
they
put
a
lot
of
money
into
it.
They
sold
it
20
years
later,
approximately
four
four
hundred
and
twenty-five
thousand
dollars
the
the
subsequent
owners,
the
ones
that
just
sold.
E
E
Market
appraisal
that
was
provided
was
kind
of
amusing,
the
the
the
comps
that
he
chose.
He
had
totally
irrelevant
to
this
property.
However,
I
realized
trying
to
assess
to
appraise
its
property
is
somewhat
like
trying
to
a
space,
a
appraised
space
ship
that
felt
in
the
middle
of
the
block
somewhere.
Try
to
appraise
that
so
I
just
think.
It's
I
think
it's
the
most
charming
place
that
I've
practically
ever
seen.
E
B
B
E
E
B
B
G
G
B
B
D
B
D
B
C
C
R
B
E
Was
in
this
house
a
number
of
years
ago,
she
was
thinking
of
selling.
At
that
time,
here's
a
cute
little
house
sort
of
a
really
you
don't
tear
it
on
them
actually,
because
the
houses
around
it
are
all
much
more
expensive
she's
had
it
fixed
up
really
cute,
so
it
was
very
charming
little
house
I,
don't
know
that
there
is
that
much
of
a
discrepancy.
E
E
B
G
R
B
D
G
V
R
B
I
B
B
E
B
Would
agree
with
that
I
know
this
lack
of
a
second
of
garage
or
the
lack
of
the
ability
to
acquire
one.
A
significantly
affects
value
on
on
some
kind
of
minion
properties,
I'm,
not
sure,
quite
sure,
I
go
all
the
way
to
the
applicants
requested
three
ten,
but
a
lower
number
would
be
an
order
in
my
mind.
Are
there
any
comments?
Other
comments
from
board
members
or
questions
Steve?
None
may
I
have
a
motion.
Mr.
E
B
G
B
A
the
core
accordions
warranty
deed,
they
paid
four
hundred
thirty
thousand
I,
know
Cobre.
Seventh,
two
thousand
nineteen
and
I
think
that
was
their
most
compelling
argument
of
the
information
they
provided.
The
inspection
area
part
was
long,
but
it
did
show
significant
amount
of
deferred
maintenance.
Are
there
any
other
comments
or
questions
from
the
board.
E
E
B
B
G
B
G
R
B
B
B
S
So
yeah
we,
you
know,
we
purchased
this
house
in
July
of
2018
for
final
sale,
price
of
two
hundred
fifty
five
thousand
the
assessed
value
for
2020
has
been
set
at
three
hundred
and
two
thousand
five
hundred.
We
believe
you
know
a
more
reasonable,
fair
market
value.
Given
you
know
appreciation
of
the
neighborhood
265
to
270,000
just
for
an
overview
of
the
house.
You
know
it's
a
long
fellow
Minneapolis
bungalow,
so
one
and
a
half
stories
three
bed,
one
bath.
S
S
S
So
you
know
we're
sort
of
having
difficulties
renovating
it,
given
the
sort
of
substantial
cost
of
doing
that,
the
lowest
bid
we've
got
and
the
thing
is
about
$50,000
and
then
the
second
thing
which
I
didn't
actually
include
in
the
documentation
that
I
had
originally
sent
to
you
I
just
actually
noticed
that
today
is
I.
Think
the
above
ground
floor
first
footage
at
least
as
it's
listed
on
the
Minneapolis
he
likes
property
information
site
is
gross
when
we
can
grossly
overstated.
So
on
that
side
it
says
the
ground-floor
square.
S
Footage
is
894
square
feet
and
the
above-ground
are
above
ground
floor
footage
is
eleven
hundred
and
ninety-four
square
feet.
I
think
the
actual
is
you
know,
depending
on
how
you
measure
it
is
at
most
four
hundred
square
feet.
So
the
second
half
story
is,
you
know,
there's
only
about
five
feet
in
the
center
of
the
room
where
you
can
stand
up.
So
if
you
go
by
that
measurement,
it
would
be
about
I
my
measurement
about
a
hundred
and
eighty
square
feet.
S
S
R
B
B
B
W
With
the
windows
with
essentially
having
to
gut
626,
because
we've
had
a
renter
in
there
for
25
years,
who
is
a
smoker,
the
the
place
would
have
to
be
completely
gutted
and
we'd
be
looking
at
about
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
bring
this
thing
up
to
today's
standards.
Essentially,
so
there's
no
way
that
at
this
point,
the
way
the
house
sits
there's
no
way
that
we
could
get
about
four
hundred
and
eighty
seven
thousand
dollars
that
its
associated.
W
W
B
W
R
I
We
don't
have
anybody
that
contacted
us
regarding
a
confirmation.
I
did
just
receive
an
email
from
the
property
owner
asking
you
to
still
be
heard
by
you,
so
it's
up
to
you,
I
guess,
if
you
want
to
try
to
get
them
to
call
information
somehow
or
to
act
on
their
appeal
in
writing.
If
that
would
be
the
properties,
its
case,
142
144,
145
and
146.
I
I
can
keep
that
or
explain
it
better,
so
the
instructions
for
hearing
for
them
for
all
hearings
worth.
We
needed
a
confirmation
that
well
in
advance
of
the
board
meetings,
beginning
that
we
could
provide
the
call
information
and
now
know
what
this
schedule
was.
For
the
day,
this
property
owner
didn't
contact
us
until
after
the
meeting
had
started
tonight
and.
S
B
B
R
E
B
B
E
No,
it
wasn't,
but
I
will
comment.
His
cops
were
from
2016
to
2018.
He
said
he
made
some
adjustments
with
regard
to
that,
and
so
perhaps
there
would
be
some
reason
to
do.
A
slight
reduction
unless
others
want
to
weigh
in
I'd
propose
that
we
reduce
the
value
from
two
hundred
or
three
hundred
two
thousand
five
hundred
to
two
ninety
two
hundred:
ninety
thousand
for
the
property
at
thirty
five,
fifteen
thirty,
eighth
Avenue
self,
take.
