They can offer insights into vacancy rates, demand, and any local regulations you need to be aware of.

Milwaukee is hyper-competitive, next months numbers will probably be 103% sold to list ratio, we estimate about 5 or 6 buyers for every seller and it will only get worse IF rates come down.Just got an AO yesterday with a builder on a spec, 90 days out, some custom finished, LVP instead of carpet, we offered 7k EM and they countered with 6k non-refundable because of the customization.

A lot of opportunities to buy aged C-class homes at 8, 9, 10 caps.Small investor expense ratios are 40%.Large operator expense ratios are 37/38 %.Large platforms/institution expense ratios are 33/34%Big benefit of blanket insurance policies is to drive costs down.A lot of BFR is looking for a bridge product for 2 years to hope rates get back down in the 5% range.Cannot use HPA on BFR communities you plan on selling based on cash flow.5-18% rental premium being achieved based on new construction communities compared to new construction scatter sites.For real time comps go to biggest operators BFR, small multifamily.More confidence about the cost of construction having stabilized.Some products which will not be good for retail buyers will also not be good for rentals.

With interest rates so high right now and property values up so much in recent years this would certainly help us when looking.
