I have written down benchmarks for the number and types of deals I want in set time frames.

Those of you who have student rentals... what cash flow benchmark do you use?

I'm about to dump a hefty bit of money into online ads and I'm wondering what everyone's cost per lead is for ads spent on FB ads and Google Ads to get a benchmark.

The ones i have called areFidelity national title, Old republic national title, Landmark title, Florida elite, Benchmark Title svc inc, and American home title.

MikeOH, Thanks to finding your posts early on, I have used the 50% rule as a benchmark for all deals I have evaluated.

So as we just learned, running up to the vintage of concern we had very manageable default rates. 2003 also benchmarks one of the last year where more mainstream mortgage products dominated the market.

But when looking at a bench mark for prices I prefer to look at the inflation adjusted historic norm.  

The first benchmark I use to purchase says that for a $1000/mo rent my investment can't be over $80,000, and the second benchmark says NOI (Monthly Rent - (taxes/10) - (Insurance/10) - $100/mo maintenance reserve) can't exceed $800.  

Take a peek at the profitability benchmarks for the respective REI markets.I will give you a headline stat to compare the UK-US.

Most buyers and sellers use that 9-10 cap as a benchmark for MHPs.
