Some of the metrics that the survey provides and that I find valuable to understand are:- Population- Home Values- Household Incomes- Rental Vacancy Rate- Homeowner Vacancy Rate- Poverty Rate- Educational Attainment Rate (High School/GED & Bachelors)- Number of Housing Unit- Rent to Income Ratio- Rent to Price Ratio- Population on SNAPS (supplemental nutrition assistance program) percentage- Property Tax Rate- Median Age of Buildings- Number of Structures by Units (SFR, Duplex, Triplex, Quadplex, etc...)- Median Rents by Number of Bedrooms- Unemployment Rate- Employment Sectors PercentagesAlso take into consideration the direction in which each of these market indicators are trending.

It is in the idea stage and am looking for input of what metrics to track.I do not have any answers, only questions.Your data is going to be the first variable and will diminish in value with age. 

Banks are easy to work with, and maybe back in the stone ages they took two years (15'-16') but federal rules require them to be decisioned in 30 days now.

OK you can breathe again.The age of your site is a strong ranking factor.

In MA if the house is older (think WW2 old) you can get away without it having a closet due to the age of the property.

And congrats on thinking about real estate investing at a young age!

I am referring to solutions like Alexa and Google home along with the home control lighting and other controls aling with other home health technology like GrandCare to assist seniors to Age In Place.

An example would be someone coming back from a credit for an boiler replacement when they saw it during theIr tour, the age of the boiler was disclosed in the marketing materials, and there are no current issues with it.

Just wanting to get this started at a young age and maybe retire early (wouldn’t that be nice ) .

But, a rehabbed home listed on the MLS in todays day and age, creates an extremely efficient market for those buyer and sellers.
