ØDepends, but in my general experience you are going to get a better job of this pre/post inspection from a dedicated Property Management service.I personally however do rely on my housekeepers because they have historically done a decent job.

@Scott Weaver so a little perspective would be in order. days on market, interest rates and cap rates are still well below historic averages (by well below I mean 20-40% below historic).

I won't be investing in the riskiest/most supportable asset subclasses such as hotels, and tilt my portfolio the ones that have historically been more stable such as multifamily and single-family housing.

I really like the historic areas and wish they would find a way for the revitalization to take hold.

Hi BiggerPockets Community,I'm looking for some help with historical real estate data research.

Finally, since beta and Monte Carlo derive a lot of their parameters from historical data, how have you over come the black swan problem in your modeling? 

Hi Sunanda, Coronodo is a fun historical neighborhood that borders downtown proper.

Historically on average for widespread direct mail campaigns the response rate is around 2% on the first mailing.

The historic return on the SP500 stock index is 9.8% (Investopedia) which will give you a perspective on returns. 

My recommendation is to look at historical averages, increase the rent by a certain dollar amount, and then include water with the rent.
