I've heard of some just using a % of the deal value, but would be helpful to hear some actual methodology from some experienced folks out there.I'd appreciate any insight on this subject!

My opinion... get your own real data and stay away from reports with faulty methodology.

@Nancy Bachety has a good methodology as well, but also make sure to check local regulations and laws. 

@Ryan VanDuyneThere is no hard and fast methodology for assessing multifamily neighborhoods.Nonetheless, there are a few things to consider: Median household incomeMedian property valueGoogle street view and take a tour of the neighborhoodLocal amenitiesStrength and diversity of local economyCrimeAlso use the MLS and Realtor.com to get data on listed propertiesListing agent to get documentsSome good online resources I use: City-data (extensive database)Rentometer.comPadmapperZillow/Trulia/Redfin: good for SFRs + reports/tools.

Have you built a real estate investing philosophy/methodology or business plan that identifies what an investable deal for you looks like, what metrics you use to determine, what you assess.

Hey everyone, I’m a beginner investor but I believe in the go big or go home methodology to life.

There are some licensing and methodology differences, but the basic concept is the same.

Also the methodology on the study seems a bit thin.

Take your inspector SOW fee and learn the GC pricing/methodology.

While the largest group of respondents in this survey found that online leads had accounted for less than 5% of their closed business dealings, online leads nevertheless accounted for up to 20% to 49% of the closed business dealings for the second-largest group of respondents and 50% to 99% of closed business dealings for the next-largest group.Gathering all of the participant feedback, the overall conclusion is that while a good portion of real estate professionals did not find that online leads played as important a role in their closed business dealings, those that did, expressed how greatly they were dependant on online leads for closed business at all.Ultimately, however, those scampering for the top conversion results… those willing to adapt and adopt new and old “offline” lead conversion (nurturing) methodologies, seemed to benefit the most from the leads generated through online sources.
