Or should the U.S. emulate ancient Athens, which adopted democracy, not out of ideals, but toward a stronger army-navy, due to the lowest in Athens would have something to gain.

I have no doubts you are good at what you do, the methodology is just lacking in transparency.

The entire approach and methodology is well documented.

My new methodology for empowering and personalizing for tenants is that before they move in and prior painting the property is on the agenda, I will test all the colors on several walls and let the tenant make the decision.

I say this because we have tried for a number of years using a no pressure methodology and we have a high success rate for the people that actually call us, but I can't see the day where I would get an influx of 1000 - 2000 new investors in a few months.

I have always felt it is important to understand the methodologies that other folks or industries use for evaluations as any information can be put to use for a beneficial use.

Loan constants or factoring tables were commonly found in a book showing different interest rates and to compute the payment you would multiply that factor by 1,000 or a fraction thereof as the loan amount and the result would be the payment amount based on the given amortized periods.IMO, getting tied up in loan constants and factoring is ancient manipulations when you can be much more accurate using a financial calculator.

Even with commercial properties, CAP is only a meaningful metric between similar cash-flows (properties) in the same location ... and then only if calculated using the same methodology.  

Not like the one between those two ancient institutions in our state (where there have been recorded fist-fights and deaths from heart attacks - in beauty parlors - during the AU - UA games).Enjoy the season and don't get too uptight.

@Brandon Sturgill - I've been studying hard @Brian Burke 's underwriting methodology, and after 9 months I feel I am finally beginning to see past the numbers.
