Condo street photo

[valuecommando]

When taking street photos of a condo complex there are two streets, what do you experts consider to be the actual street? If the subject street name is at a corner and outside of a gated condo complex is that the street? Or is the street the unnamed asphalt road that you drive on inside the complex to get to the unit? I'd like to know what street is correct. Thank you in advance for your replies!

What does the tax card say? Most lenders want the address on the report to match the legal / situs address that is on the tax card.

Take photos of everything....

I typically use the street that the unit /it's building is situated on.

GSEs want the street address to match USPS address protocols

I would take both. The interior street is what they really want to see. So they can see the surrounding properties. The street outside the complex could give a misleading impression of the units actual location

I always take a picture of project entrance just like their clubhouse. A picture of the street to the subject entrance, side st if corner, and parking lot. You can put a closeup aireal of the subject.

With condos, more is better and easier to do when there, never later.

The street photo is the one I submit in the appraisal. No client, lender or AMC is ever in the position to dispute the street photo. Full stop, as they say.

When you say the street photo, are you stating the outside street that has the same name as the subject address? Or are you specifying the asphalt unnamed street inside the condo complex? They are technically two different roads.

I agree with you. Yet there are technically two different roads. So I'm just wondering what my peers consider the subject street to be. So far appraisers are saying both yet in reality isn't there only one subject street for a condo complex since it has only one address?
