Otherwise you're in the same boat as everyone else looking at job growth, housing starts, economic indicators, "best place to live" surveys, population growth, etc.

The reason why is no surpriseBy Michael Mcgough Sacbee 2018 01:02 PM Updated 2 hours 41 minutes ago The idea of a Bay Area "exodus" is no joke, and appears to be growing more vivid and real with each year.A poll released Sunday by a local advocacy group showed that 46 percent of Bay Area residents surveyed said they want to move out of the area within the next few years.

The total amount of dry powder held by closed-end private property funds increased to a record $333 billion this month, up from $134 billion at the end of 2012, according to Preqin.In a 2018 survey, 68% of real-estate fund managers told Preqin that it was more difficult to find attractive investments than it had been a year before.

They must survey PMs somehow. 

No survey available so I may need to get one.My options on what to do with this property after I own it.1.

I just started playing around with the spreadsheet and had two questions:1. where can you account for closing costs and other general costs associated with purchasing the house (ie finders fee, inspections, surveys etc etc).2. why is the Amortization Period in yellow at 27.5  & not a formula (like everything else in yellow)?

If it was indeed sold, more than likely the new buyer would have wanted a walk through, survey stakes might have been placed on the property to define the boundary of the property.

Along with utilities, taxes and insurance its probably also a good idea to survey what others have experienced in terms of maintenance costs.....but it really depends what they started with so its more than just getting a number.

So the next step is to go with surveying the land; correct me if I may be mistaken.

For that matter, maybe you could offer a free-form text field, then as people fill it in, you can survey the entries to see what is popular and should be added to the pre-populated list.I can see how the list of "Interests" can help people connect with others who have common interests, but maybe it needs to be fleshed out a bit to make it more useful?
