What I have seen in the research is to find a property you are interested in and compare to other comps in the same neighborhood.

It's always best to do your own research, just like screening for a good renter.Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

Originally posted by @Lodewijk Hof:Hello,I'm doing my research on Australia real estate market. ll use the data for a brochure, which is part of my strategy to increase investor awareness.I'm wondering if you can help me on the following data:1.

By doing research we discovered that 1.0 acres was sold off in the 1960s and never caught by the assesment office, so the tax bills were too high for 40 years. 

Start small, build a strong network, and conduct thorough market research to align with your investment strategy.

I like to compare 3 things when I do these types of research:1.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

How is your research analyzing all that?

The list of cities that I’ve come up with so far by my own rookie research is the following, but always open to other suggestions from members that have experience else where.
