I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this question, but heck, it never hurts to double check.
I have a situation where the square footage of the main dwelling of the subject has been combined with the square footage of separate finished dwelling. The resulting square footage was used to find comps (none of which are similar, i.e. total square footage combined from two different dwellings). I've never seen square footages combined in such a manner and was wondering if anybody had. To me this seems like a way to inflate the gross living area and in turn inflate the value of a property. Input quickly please!
