San Franciscos incomes are 25% less than DC yet their housing is over double DCs im nominal pricing. 

I've been going with a nominal 10% based on the performance from some of my other properties, which admittedly could have been pure luck.  

While the nominal rate may be 20% it often gets bid down much much lower.

Hi Michael,I wouldn't necessarily know what the ramifications could be...you'll have to pay for the broker exam (and possibly course) and pay for the broker license itself...all in all nominal fees.  

Hopefully you can elaborate on what you were trying to say.Not really wanting to fall into a deep debate on expectation of return in comparison to all assets in the greater market place but the real rate of return historically is around 7.0% +/- 0.3% with nominal rates varying depending on era.  

Rents are pretty low relative to prices, although they are very high at a nominal level.

But if nominally higher expenses/ft wipe out all profit, or a raise in prime by 250bp wipes out most/all profit, those results may be something that are totally plausible and I might be concerned.

For a nominal fee they make sure your deals comply with the law.

The new tenant had been warned there might be a delay and was OK with that.If you only charge him some nominal amount a couple of weeks could turn into a couple of months.

Most of these sites are free to the public, although a few seem to require a nominal fee to search.
