New member SoCal

[Ivan K.]

Haven't formally introduced myself even though I've had a few posts. I'm an energy analyst/energy trading and previous a credit analyst @ Wells Fargo. Very numbers driven but I understand sometimes you gotta go with your gut feeling. Did drywall/construction to get me through school. I am interested in doing REI as a second job. I've done multimillion $ deals for my energy company and handle a portfolio of emissions credits in the $100MM. Looking for properties to buy-hold for income in Charlotte NC and Phoenix, AZ and birddog in SoCal as well. I also have a side drywall company doing work in high end Orange County. I try to sift through deals using the 50% rule and then take a closer look if they pass that test.

Before I end this long post, does anyone know where I can get data (free or pay) that is historical and for rent, property prices, and vacancy rates ready to download in excel? I've searched around this site and the web and have yet to find what I need. The data is going to be used for variance analysis, cuz I love #'s.
