Generally speaking:A low renter:owner ratio tells me there are a lot of stakeholder present and the area should be fairly nice.A high renter:owner ratio tells me landlords are mostly in control and (if they are not local or actively engaged) few will advocate for the neighborhood.A large inventory of multis doesn't signal much without knowing neighborhood dynamics.Landlords can always use the tremendous amount of influence they carry to lower blight, get rid of trouble-makers, and revitalize stagnate local economy.

You need to start sending out smoke signals to these potential investors.

Realty Mogul doesn't allow ground-up developments though so Fundrise is better for what we're currently trying to do.All of the sites have done a good job signaling they wish to screen stuff before it goes on the site.

Both signal perhaps a greater opportunity.

Well on one hand it is good for SEO to have social signals and have evergreen, unique content pushed out regularly and promoted on social media.

I remember one Embedded systems engineer interrupting a conference to repeat some non-sense he heard at a get rich quick seminar which correlated stock volatility to buy and sell signals.

@Michael DuVentreLetter of Intent (LOI) is used in commercial property and signals an interest in a property.

A CFD usually has an underlying mortgage, adding the previous owner as a loss payee or mortgagee is a clear signal to that lender that a sale transaction has occurred and you may then be addressing the due on sale issues.

The LOI signals "game on" because now there is at least some basic understanding and agreement on basic terms.

Now, B doesn't need to sign the QCD...they could just sign all the short sale and closing papers...but, of course, that's more work on their part and they'd first need to be found.
