@David Jenkins I learned from the Lance Edwards Big Money in Small Apartments Bootcamp and applied his marketing strategy and analysis technique to mid-size and large apartment buildings with good results.

They will provide detailed pro forma's on properties, do analysis on your behalf, have trusted vendors, and put deals in front of you.A crappy RE agent will put you on a drip campaign and tell you to get a hold of them when you see something you like.  

That brings me to my next bad landing page (LP) breakdown—there’s a lot to unpack here.What I’m showing you here is a simple “load speed time” analysis of a PPC advertiser landing page.This is the pageThis is the page's speed analysisThe basic industry rule of thumb is that A load time of 1-3 seconds is considered good, where the less is better.

If you can find deals in those markets use Redfins market analysis tool and see how long the homes are taking to sell, how competitive and where are people moving to/from and that area and if it’s growing or not. 

You will just need a good deal analysis.  

so after reading all the posts, it sounds like his best bet is just to move on and walk away finding another place maybe coming back in future to keep contact with that person if he really wants that location… Correct me if I’m wrong, but my analysis from all this is that hiring a squatter would only be applicable in situations where the person who is occupying the residence never had a lease or contract therefore it is a rare circumstance where it would be a viable option. 

Your experience in both commercial and residential properties, along with your passion for market analysis, will surely bring valuable insights to the discussions here.As you explore new investment strategies and expand your portfolio, your expertise in valuations and BPOs will be particularly helpful for others in the community.

The price is posted, and it's the same with almost every other business.I would go online and do a rent comp analysis on what current market rents for your type unit are getting, and if you're afraid of losing them, then you can give them a discount.If a tenant has a larger space, more amenities, a parking space, then you can add additional rent.

This is why Market Analysis, with NO emotional rationalizations, is so important, before you buy. 

If you're going to lose money at that number,then maybe our investment analysis was off from the get go.
