I started a member blog with the translation into Spanish here at Bigger Pockets. 

Anyways - I have no idea if there's a service that will translate the podcast to written material at the moment. 

I am from New Jersey where home prices are fairly high, which obviously translates to higher down payments on conventional mortgages.

I would be concerned that owners don't easily translate to renters, especially in a home they once owned.

I put your comps and those that are for sale around them in realtor.com or zillow's pictures to get a better handle on qualitative differences such as floor type, countertop type, appliance quality, etc...Once you identify what's different you can then see what a particular difference translates into in the form of a raw dollar amount.

Not sure if this would translate as well to SFHs.

Translated into english it reads buy something you will lose lots of money monthly on and hope like heck you can sell it for more later.

They are primarily Chinese-speaking (Mandarin) so it would be nice if the appraiser or someone at the company could speak/translate.

I'm looking for a good number to use for quick analysis (on properties where the LL is paying the water bill), on small buildings up to 10 units.In our SF rental we average about $600/yr, but I'm not sure how directly that translates to a couple units in one building.

Being a contractor, we have certain budgets for opportunity costs, so if somebody chooses to engage with our services, we could spend around $xxx worth of time and expenses, that usually translates to 4 4-hour blocks.
