Ep 12: What is the Highest and Best Use of Your Property? with Bob Andersen

New property developers and uneducated property owners can be completely wrong when deciding what is the highest and best use of a property. They tend to think that jamming more dwellings into a property makes it worth more money which is not always the case. Another mistake mum and dad property owners make is getting development permits and thinking the permit will always increase the value of a property, again this is not always the case. If you’re interested to find out all the “facts” about highest and best use of property, you’ve come to the right place.Listen to Bob Andersen, the “Google” of property, as I usually call him, discuss the facts and fallacies behind evaluating the highest and best use of a property.
