As a real estate expert, when you analyze properties for neighborhood linkages or proximity analysis; how do you decide on weight-ages for various attributes.Mainly, if we look at location based data; then majority of urban areas have essential facilities like schools,parks,shopping centers,health facilities,offices,transportation etc.. in short to mid distance radius and traveling those are not such an hassle anymore.Also, from employment perspective, many people switch their jobs and depending on new employment benefits they have no issues traveling few miles extra to workplace.In such an case; how do we analyze properties on neighborhood analysis; how do you decide on weight-ages for various attributes?

I also understand that at a basic level it's the interaction between the real estate purchase market and rental market supply and demand curves which drive attributes like price to rent ratios in a given area.My question is, how do those two related supply/demand curves interact at a fundamental level and what are the common characteristics or reasons a market maintains a good price to rent ratio?

I almost never have vacancies, and I attribute it partially to the way I treat my residents.

We are concerned the vacancy is partially attributed to heavy CAM costs. ($8.75/ft of which $3/ft is taxes - Central NJ).Options are :-Keep doing what previous landlord did.

Question being...for an offer to the highly motivated seller and to attribute a value to the 12 SFR's in the portfolio, is the MAO approach used for the 12 SFRs...and cap rate for the multi units? 

No slums attributable to our names. 

It may have been attributed to someone else, I can't remember for sure.

I guess one could claim this is due to the markets being less efficient, but it seems a whole lot more likely it is due to higher levels of both risk attributable to systemic risk patterns and the individual risk patterns of the project. 

Because when I think of a business to start, I think of how to expand it (which is an essential attribute to me).I understand the basics of buying property, I believe, but I'm trying to wrap my mind how I can do that on a regular basis.I can buy some property this month if I want, but I want to learn how I can do that, and then buy another one ASAP (FWIW, I'm thinking about buying and holding -- renting out -- first, then I may branch out into other REI methods).How did many of you start and how do you look forward?

It can, and you can base your decisions on that, it is not a discriminatory attribute,  At least outside of King County, I don't keep up on the King County specific laws.For now you can serve her a 3 day notice to comply and give her the option to stop.
