Maybe even most; I don't know statistics well enough to say.

Prior to selling it a few months ago we renovated with a new kitchen, flooring, paint and landscaping.

There's landscaping so it's not visible to tenants. 

.), what are some statistics that influence your decision making when searching for and evaluating investments?

Obviously no one knows what the market is going to do, but statistically everything says that we are due for some form of a downturn in the near-ish future.

My cash flow will be reduced, but statistically I expect on average there will be fewer headaches.

Request the death certificate from the county Viatical Statistics dept.Whomever filled it out (any relative, friend, etc.) will be your first point of contact. 

Then landscaping. 

For example: if the offer was for 35% equity, perhaps the vesting schedule would be:Milestone 1: Site demo and clean up, passes inspection, on schedule, within budget 5%Milestone 2: Rough construction complete, passes inspection, on schedule, within budget 5%Milestone 3: Finish construction complete, passes inspection, on schedule, within budget 5%Milestone 4: Exterior landscaping, paving, and clean up is complete, on schedule, within budget 5%Milestone 5: Etc.Can any provide feedback and opinion of this structure?

Reports could be generated showing task in progress and various statistics.
