So proximity to public transportation and services is really important to them.

Because of the change in public sentiment after the NAR settlement, this will probably be the case less often going forward.

2) You are a control freak and won't let your PMC do their job- Can't help you3) You don't really have a PMC and are self-managing, yet don't know what you're doing- There are inconsistencies in your postings that make this a possibilityFor #2 & #3 above, use this:https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Publications/tenantlandlord.p...

The key drivers are still there (appreciation, hot market, as I mentioned) but you need to look at the real data - that is based on Public Records and Listings / MLSs. 

@Mindy Jensen A little too personal to post publicly but if I can figure out how to PM you I would love to get others opinions. 

Is this public info?  

An example problem statement that I may have stated (and built the software for) in 2003, when I started investing full time: Build a tool for lead generation that collects county records from the county recorder's office (and property card data), finds the recent first mortgage defaults  from trustees websites or public filings for properties that are between 1000 and 1700 square feet, in a neighborhood of 90% like-kind properties with greater than 20 parcels, houses built after 1978, that can cash flow at current rates when fully leveraged. 

Is there power to the lot, is there public water or will you need to drill a well, if there is public water/sewer do you need to pay the tap fees, etc.

Do they do a public records search  for evictions, judgments, liens etc?

Commercial brokers will know more becasue they have to... they get the contract and hand it off and the deals i have done there i get inspection addendum's written by the attorneys and boy that is very dysfunctional.. no explanations as they are getting flat fee's and spend zero time doing what needs to be done to keep transactions together the little things the public does not see. but anyway thought provoking.... 100.00 and hour is a pittance to a seasoned agent.. don't see that flying.. but to a mid level or starter who comes from a back ground of getting paid by the hour..
