Id also like to be able to list key data like absorption rate.We are flippers.  

Following up on my above post, I’ve attached two pictures illustrating the discount and rent absorption.

if you have the funding new construction is eaiser to get volume than flipping though.. if you can buy say a 100 lot subdivision and the absorption is there.

@Paul JumpMy niche is multifamily syndications, and the data we look for in a deal is:- Market Performance: Rent Growth, Market Vacancy, Long-Term Vacancy Average, Adverse Cycle Occupancy Bottom, Median Income, Employment Pool, Rent to Cost of Ownership, Income to Housing Cost Ratio, Market Rankings, Construction/Absorption Ratio, Pricing, Cap Rates, Trends in Capital Market, Etc. - Forecasted Market Performance of the Same- Property Specific Performance: Asking Rents, Actual Rents, Vacancy, New Lease Trade-Outs, Average Vacant Days, Lease Terms, Retention Rates, Renewal Trade-Outs, Sales Record, Renovations Completed, Market Comparable Amenities based on Class of Asset, Revenue, Rent Roll, Trailing 12 Months of Operating Expenses, Property Taxes, Property Insurance, Market Trends of Specific Floor Plans, Etc. 

@Jaren Barnes here is a good article on Chicago's net absorption and rent growth as it applies to the 2020 apartment market:  https://www.connect.media/downtown-chicagos-apartment-market-holds-up-even-after-building-boom/?

I've included an example below which outlines low vacancy markets, total return markets, affordable markets (% of rents relative to income), and other key measures affecting prices and rent growth, including unemployment, job growth, unit absorption, and population growth.

Do some more research on the market itself to see what is the absorption rate in the market?

@Kyle GlasgowIt depends on your areas absorption rate (amount of time it takes for something to sell).

There are a few free sites that will give high level market reports that include DOM.Another is the absorption rate, which indicates if it's a buyer's market or a seller's market.

However, you can also predict it based on your sense of the absorption of the market.
