There are some manufactured and SFH's homes with variations in bed, bath, or sq footage, just not enough comps to establish trends and have a solid understanding. 

Just look in your yellow pages or the online variation of it.

Because there are so many variations when it comes to usury laws in North Carolina, you really need to seek out legal advice and assistance.

Sometimes, in order to match finish it's necessary to stay in the same brand (if you get fake stainless for example, from one brand to the next variations in finish are noticeable).

I may be completely off-base regarding this, but I have read that a 400-600 sq. ft variation (200-300 below and above the subject property) is recommended.Best of luck to you.

With that, what are you attempting to do, as to design variations, materials, functionality and the relationship to other properties in a development?

Historically real estate investing does not produce an income to live on until you have built up a lot of equity.Some buy, fix, sell or other variations.

Of the other 60%, about half get sold to a retail buyer and we collect a small referral fee and the other half end up getting foreclosed on.So, the math gets a bit more complex than just responses and conversions.I'm guessing that you'd also likely find different profit levels from these two example groups above (absentee owners and short sale candidates), not to mention variation based on location, types of property, amount of rehab, exit strategy, etc.And that doesn't even touch on the other target groups you might mail to (homeowners with equity, NOD, purchasing redemption rights, etc).So, yes, using statistical averages to determine how many letters to send and how much you should expect to make from a particular mailing (or set of mailings) is a great thing.

Since the second price is higher, you have some money left over after paying off the original seller.There are lots of variations and some other ways to do this.

Most areas have so much variation in comps, especially with REOs and short sales in the mix, that a wide range of numbers can be justified.
