Changing to Land preserves but hides financial records

The conversion warning explains that existing financial data is preserved but does not appear in the standard Land document. Inspect the final page list after conversion.

Complete the Land workflow

Land steps

  1. 1

    Select Land

    Create New, Select Property Type

    Choose Land.

    Expected result: Parcel terminology and Land step exclusions are applied.

    If this does not happen: Change the property type in Property Details if the asset has recurring tenant economics instead.

  2. 2

    Verify site identity

    Property Details

    Enter the address, asking price, acreage-related base facts, and available parcel identity.

    Expected result: The subject site is identified correctly.

    If this does not happen: Correct geocoding or address before building maps.

  3. 3

    Add development facts

    Property Data

    Use the Land suggestions to add zoning, acres, topography, utilities, entitlements, risks, frontage, and access.

    Expected result: Only verified, material rows appear.

    If this does not happen: Delete empty suggestions and qualify pending entitlements accurately.

  4. 4

    Build the parcel map

    Maps

    Configure the map for the subject parcel.

    Expected result: The saved map shows the verified parcel context and access.

    If this does not happen: Correct the subject pin before adding nearby demand generators.

  5. 5

    Write the location highlights

    Location Highlights

    Enter the approved location highlights.

    Expected result: The location story states source-backed access and nearby demand facts.

    If this does not happen: Remove any unsupported proximity or travel-time claim.

  6. 6

    Write the market overview

    Market Overview

    Enter the approved development and market context.

    Expected result: The market narrative explains the opportunity without relying on rent-roll pages.

    If this does not happen: Qualify proposed development and pending entitlement claims accurately.

  7. 7

    Add sales evidence

    Sales Comparables

    Enter the available comparable facts.

    Expected result: The document has source-backed Land sales evidence.

    If this does not happen: The current generic comp modal lacks a new Lot Size input, so do not claim Price/Acre unless acreage is actually present.

  8. 8

    Set the Land BOV range

    BOV valuation > Sales comparison

    For a Land BOV, enter the supported value range.

    Expected result: The valuation section shows the source-backed range.

    If this does not happen: If the document is not a BOV, skip this action.

  9. 9

    Set the Land value opinion

    BOV valuation > Opinion of value

    For a Land BOV, enter the final value opinion.

    Expected result: The Land BOV presents one conclusion that can be checked against the supported range.

    If this does not happen: If the opinion falls outside the range, verify the evidence and document the reason before review.

  10. 10

    Review output

    Review & Customize

    Verify acres, Price/Acre, Price/SF, parcel language, maps, and financial-page exclusions.

    Expected result: The final document is internally consistent.

    If this does not happen: Remove or escalate any unexpected native financial page before publishing.

Resolve Land issues

Financial steps disappeared after conversion

Likely cause: Land intentionally hides the standard financial workflow.

  1. Confirm the target type is Land.
  2. Remember the records are preserved but hidden.
  3. Use a BOV if a Land valuation conclusion is required.
Price/Acre is blank

Likely cause: Acreage or asking price is missing.

  1. Enter verified acreage.
  2. Verify selling price.
  3. Review the calculated metric.
A new comparable cannot calculate Price/Acre

Likely cause: The current comparable form does not expose Lot Size for new entries.

  1. Do not infer acreage.
  2. Use other supported source facts.
  3. Escalate the input limitation when Price/Acre is essential.
  • Acreage verified
  • Parcel facts sourced
  • Zoning and entitlement status qualified
  • Price/Acre checked
  • Maps reviewed
  • No unintended financial pages
