My comparison is not based on anything personal - just the criteria you're working on:95% OOS investorsEast Cleveland is OKYou have a PM working thereIf I tell people it is not just danger zone, some places are war zones.

It is truly an apples to apples comparison.

The whole "DTI" thing is a measure of your income in comparison to your debt (that they see on credit). 

Certainly RDU is a special place and one of the few in the country like that - so not a completely fair comparison - however I feel that I've seen enough of these proximity effects to opine that the proximity of Ames and the quality of its graduates will be a big causal factor to continued DSM area growth - both population and economic. 

For comparison, another house of similar size they did was $14k.

However, the appraisal just came back, and they used the sale comparison approach.

I don't think buying bonds is good practice for buying stocks and i think it's a similar comparison.

I wrote this comparison for a California investor who wanted to see the numbers.

@Patrick Philip Well, the other three being in a historic district does make a difference...the People who like historic district properties generally pay more than for a comparable house not in a historic district, and historic property renovations generally cost more due the restrictions.This is a case where 1/2 mile away are Not comps...many times just a block or two across a major road/subdivision boundary are not comparable.Also, the more sf you have in comparison to comps, the lower the $/sf value you have.....a 1900sf 3/2 in the same neighborhood won’t have the same $/sf. as a 1500 sf 3/2.

This is pretty mild by comparison.
