You can get the study from CBRE for free, I'd try googling it to find the link to sign up to receive it (you have to give your email address & get on their list).By the way, 8-10 cap rates is more of your D-class type of stuff, probably not the best sandbox to play in unless you are particularly adept at navigating the management nuances of that particular segment.

s - it's all done through the local housing authorities.If you want to call the nearest one in Mass to ask if they cover any areas in RI you certainly can, but I'd be very surprised if they did since this all comes down from Federal funding via HUD and I strongly suspect they segment their funding on a state by state basis.Worth a phone call to double check though, if you're really getting that many inquiries.

A commonly stated risk of a smaller population is possibly having an employer, that's providing jobs to a rather large segment of the population, leave/shut down. 

With the government hopefully not planning to butt in anymore with short-term incentives, with foreclosures expected to be on the decline after a glut of alt-a and option arm defaults, and after what will likely be a rough off-season next winter, I have a feeling things will begin to improve next spring where I am.Also, if interest rates start to trend upwards, a lot of potential buyers will see an opportunity about to slip away and may jump into the fray, which should help all segments of the market.Of course, come next year, I have a feeling commercial real estate is in for a bad surprise...

Here I agree with Herbster the "jump to category" on right site is not a good thing looks much older and to big im my mind than the old forum segmentation.

On a per user basis, it was cheaper than salesforce, and works much better than what we had before, sugarcrm.Originally posted by Peter Giardini:Unless you are planning on building a big database of potential customers that you want to communicate with routinely and convince them to buy something from you.... it is probably gross overkill for a real estate investor.We currently have what I would consider a very healthy and targeted database that we would like to better segment and communicate with.

Were the same segments of borrowers a large contributor to the credit and real estate market crash of the 2000s?

And it’s similar to active traders that likely have segments they play in.

To analyze how each segment will fare the crisis, we created a table which we call, “The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Analysis”.

Your "effort" could be complicated trying to do that rehab from California if you wanted to invest in higher cash-flow segments of the midwest.
