You are NOT qualified by stint of being a residential appraiser to appraise a property of more than four units… Period. You cannot and should not have undertaken this assignment since you are not certified (did not say smart enough or other) to complete a discounted cash flow on properties with more than 4 elements. Since each property has a separate HBU, and each can be built on, while you can bundle a report, you have to provide a separate value for each lot.
