When analyzing a deal, the expenses data available (opex, vacancy, PM, capex, etc.) is at the time of purchase.

So you have to be careful when just looking at data.

Tools like Zillow, Redfin, or even MLS data (if you have access) can help.Good Luck!

Many, if not most, want to have this data, but a very high % don't calculate monthly performance.

Hey BP,I'm diving deeper into market research and looking to build a reliable process for identifying market metrics, data, and trends.

So here is what I do:1 - Get buyer criteria for what they are looking for (exact criteria)2 - Go source that criteria using data provider3 - Scrub the list and plan a marketing campaign around it (i.e) > Direct Mail > Cold Call > SMS > Online Ads > Social Media, etc4 - Once I get inbound leads coming in.

I'm buying a duplex to house hack, but I've contacted a few companies and all of them said that they are not writing policies in California.
