The goal is to determine whether the government accurately adjusts DoD Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) rates and to develop a predictive model to calculate possible future BAH rates for specific locations.We have pulled rental data from Zillow and historical BAH rates from the DoD.

This would not necessarily be the case, or the spread could go the other way, though such motive could present one reason for conversion.I am not even sure if rent control gets eliminated through a possible condo conversion in most towns in Hudson County - West New York, for  base condominium rent > $1000, is one exception, it seems valuable to determine the others.
