That RE wave we're jumping on as investors is heading there.That said, two years ago I used that as a West Side, MLK & Garfield Light Rail line as a benchmark but as the market and such has changed, I'd say if anything a couple blocks south of the Light Rails but not much further into Greenville.

That's the benchmark I use, but admittedly, it's arbitrary. 

Then, I get indoor air quality samples and one outdoor (used as a benchmark) and have everything tested.

Her score won't keep us from getting a loan, but it is significantly under the 740+ benchmark that will get us into the best situation with a lender. 

600 is a good benchmark minimum, could be even higher depending on how nice the property is (what rents are going for).

Rents are important cause in a year plus you'll need to have that as your benchmark. 

These types of assets will have much lower cash flow but returns in or close to the 20% range are realistic.3: Look at higher cash flowing assetsIn this example I used 7% as a benchmark for stabilized multifamily, but there are other assets that have higher cash returns that you can look into.NNN leases, ATM funds, or short term rental funds can be great examples of assets with higher cash returns.

Using signed inspections, bench marks, scope of work completed can be a basic guide. 

The IRS has benchmarks/requirements for this and generally, the useful life of the roof is not 20 years or less so it isn't eligible for bonus depreciation in 2023 (80%). 

The calculation is the monthly rental income divided by the monthly debt (interest, principal, taxes, insurance, and HOA if applicable) It is a quick and easy benchmark used in the measurement of an entity's ability to produce enough cash to cover its debt payments.
