Calculating rental property for recently acquired rental property (California)

How do we calculate the land value, would it be based on appraisal report or taking a ratio of the assessed value from the county assessor? the issue with the county data is that it doesn't reflect the recent purchase price, and the last time the property changed hands was in 1995 when land value > improvements. now it is the complete opposite where land value is way more than the value of the improvements. I am having a discussion on which method is best to determine the value of the improvements. based on county data (based on assessed value but land < improvements), based on appraisal report where land > improvements.

I am having a discussion with someone else and I am claiming the appraisal report would be more accurate, whereas the other person said looking up assessed value from county is fine (even though the house last changed hands in 1995) where the amount of depreciation would be more because based on ratio, the improvement amount is more than land. the difference in the two methodology is over 400k difference

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
