Thanks. @Carl you way is how I expected the program to work; however, it asks for purchase price, the tax assessor total valuation and land value, then asks for renovation costs, then it adds the renovation costs to your purchase price, then multiplies that by the tax assessor ratio, thus incorrectly increasing the land value and reducing the improvements value.
I'll use your method of not entering renovation costs on the supplied screen, and enter it later, to get the program to behave as expected. Its unfortunate that it doesn't calculate it correctly when you follow the walk-thru screens.
