It is actually assessed (taxable value) that seems to be the closest indicator to the selling price.

Lot of apartment complexes around the area used to have a waiting list so that's a good indicator on renters in the area.

There are also cases where a mix of both self-management and outsourcing is used.For example, the Hong Kong Housing Authority has a comprehensive management structure with various committees responsible for policy and implementation, indicating a largely self-managed approach.

Also look to see if there are extended stay-type hotels in your area as that is a good indicator of market demand.

make sure you indicate when you're signing for the company verse when you're signing in your personal capacity.

How do you assess the overall investment climate for multi-family properties at present, considering factors such as interest rates, economic indicators, and housing supply dynamics?

Thanks again for all the help.You didn't indicate your reasoning for OOS investing, below are the reasons why and where most investors target.CF, almost no Appreciation, meet the 1% rule - Mid-western statesNone to minimal CF, mid to high appreciation - TX, FL, TN, CO, IDHope this helps..

A tenant complaining online might indicate that the property manager handled them appropriately, so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.7.

HOWEVER, be prepared that an u/w may find the numbers higher than usual for the area and may scrutinize this further. if there is indication this is room-by-room, it likely will be a no-go, and you could end up being hit for the expense of the property without any income to help offset it on your DTI. 

My quick research indicates that while there is legal precedent (albeit from 2000) that this would be technically treated as a sale, only the principal and interest paid via seller financing amortization schedule would be taxable.
