Special interest, corruption, and self indulgence go back to the ancient empires of Greek and Rome.

I participate in some of the meetings giving them our top down view of the market and share the methodologies of how we perform market metrics.

My methodology is different from @Jason Dillard and doesn't require all the red tape he's going through (though I do have "buyers" (assignees) proof up, calculate DTI, ensure they can refinance out within 24 months, etc.). 

Cap rates aren't the standard valuation methodology until you get to 5 units and above.    

For those of you who are pretty good at coming up with your after repair values what is your methodology?

A few more questions:What is the best methodology for understanding whether HOA fees are high or low for a given market? 

I agree with your methodology being next to transit.

My question would be: why did you change your methodology for the second one?

Compare that to buying an older home and the furnace goes out right after you move in, the plumbing is ancient and the inspector somehow failed to notice the large stress cracks in the foundation.It has only been a few months that I have been living in my home and everything has been working out great so far!
