A good bonus structure can turn an average manager into an all-star. 

Keep in mind that MTR bookings average 3 months so you wouldn't want to move utilities that often. 

Average cost for a new home build is $300/sqft and up.

There was an article published in Sept 2024 that showed the average consumer would save over $10,000 by working with a broker vs a direct lender over the life of their loan.

@Jonathan Greene I'm not sure what you mean by "most will not cash flow as an out-of-country investor" as it might suggest that the cash-flow of a given property has something to do with the nationality or residence of the owner but, in any case, you're absolutely correct that, historically, the net rental yields of LTRs in US cash-flow markets like the Mid-West have been typically higher than in the average European market, although that wouldn't be the case for many other US markets like California or New York.

. - Low-income areas = High cash flow, low equity growth - High-income areas = Low cash flow, high equity growth - Median-income areas = Average cash flow, average equity growthFor me, median to high-income areas are where I like to focus.

We've averaged around 7% for mortgage rates for the past two years now…I think if we can see a settling somewhere in the 6% range, if not sub 6%, we will see nice consumer confidence not only for home values, but rent values as well.

I think you should be paying about 10.5%-12% on average right now, 1-2 points as well, and some lenders will not even need an appraisal.

But then i look at general rental data from  rentometer or rent cafe and I generally see averages around 1600. 

What I like about them is you can also get carbon copy forms which is what we use or you can download them to get electronic PDF versions.
