Quote from @Danae Pitcher: How is everyone seeing the holiday bookings this year as compared to last year?  

It seemed that it was about a $300-400 difference in monthly rent in that market for comparable properties that allowed vs. didn't allow pets. 

Condos will be your best option when compared to co-ops because only about 15% of co-ops allow subletting.

Basically if there is no "living room" and there are no comparable properties with similar square footage and bed/bath count in your area the property becomes difficult to comp or sell and lenders will not be able to use it as collateral for a loan Excellent point.

Comparing what was promised to what was delivered lacks context. 

With margin trading of 20-25% of initial investment, when stocks market collapses with dollar cost averaging as a strategy  , leverage of the initial investment in stocks, the AAR can be more.comparable to most syndication (compared to 20% down payment in real estate).I have been following BP forums for the last 4-5 months and have spent almost 4-500 hours.

This can easily happen when the person valuing the property does not account for differences in the subject property and those chosen as comparables.   

As others have noted the number of MF properties in the greater Phx area is low compared to many markets and the number for sale is even lower.

Since they can't do each property individually, they use comparable sales to make broad generalizations to determine percent changes.

Corvallis is notoriously “anti-building”, a more hyper-inflated market inside of its own bubble compared to the rest of the willamette valley.
