Sometimes the verbiage of things gets lost in translation, so I just looked past it.

Which translates into improving the envelop before off-loading to your tenants.

Cap rate is the most universally used and one that translates across most areas - allowing you to compare apples to apples.  

This translates to more headroom inside the bedrooms.

I provided my own trusted translator. 

Feel free to use in your analysis.Capital_Req = (1 - Debt_Perc) * Surplus_CF * 12 / ( Net_Cap_Rate - Debt_Perc * Prin_Int_Perc )E.g. (1 - 90%) * 4000 * 12 / (10% - 90% * 5.75%) ~=100k in Capital requiredA 10% cap rate, owner occupied property at 10% down payment and a 4% 30-year fixed mortgage through a no-PMI portfolio lender (the latter translates to ~5.75% principal+interest percent) gives you ~100k in capital required to generate 4k in monthly cash flow (assuming moving out of the owner occupied after 1 year). 

What I mean by that is... sometimes there are things you can say or convey in that LOI other than price that can sway the buyer and not "get lost in translation". 

I thought this would translate into one's business practices.I asked for a contract or scope of work, but the company did not provide one as part of their service.

Per square foot  or acre, i wonder if the density the same. http://www.richblockspoorblocks.com/ is another great site for this type of data.i'm also curious to learn how one translates this kind of macro level data to a micro-market to identify cash flowing properties.

This from the Governator:“I respect the will of the people who are frustrated with the dysfunction in our budget system,†Translation: We'll find another way to screw the people.He continues:“In order to prevent a fiscal disaster, Democrats and Republicans must collaborate and work together to address this shortfall.†Translation: Now we'll have to do what we should have done in the first place - our job.
