What I would say is, look at the market you are analyzing, and see which statistical benchmarks you’ve chosen have the most impact on your financials in that particular market.

Appreciation looks fairly stagnant in Redding and I don't anticipate Bay Area level jumps in property values in the next 7 years, so CoC seems like an important benchmark.

I think it's a pretty good benchmark if you are going for a standard cost of living and aiming for wealth preservation and reasonable value in your investments.Some people take that opportunity to go more passive.

I always use my last acquisition as the benchmark for my next acquisition. 4.

Some guys on BP use the $100 - $200 a door with 0% down as a benchmark. 

I tend to over-rehab, because we benchmark new home qualitys, which usually means leaving money invested after refi.

I recommend @Jordy Clark and his Benchmark Team.

And on page 11: "Further increase in mortgage interest rates could reduce potential buyers’ ability or desire to obtain financing with which to buy homes.Housing has been considerably impacted by the more than doubling of mortgage interest rates in 2022, and the Federal Reserve Board has said it intends to continue to increase its benchmark interest rate in 2023.

We use the stock market as a benchmark for our short term returns; i.e. 1 year or less.

So i figure after renovations, 3000 gross is the benchmark.
