I don't measure the ROI on staging, I see it as a measure to help with the pictures/video, promoting myself and the way I market a property.

I also think some are not fully understanding how ROE formula is measured YOY.

2) knowledgeable financial analysis that measures the “right” KPIs and ratios you’re looking for.

Have the local rep come and do the measurements and write you up the quote on the windows.

I bet you'd find the % of students going to any school is higher when the student is close to the school.More interesting would be change in student population along with CRCT and other measures.

I  like to use KPI (key performance indicators) to measure the necessary daily action that I need to take to reach my goals.

ROI = (Gain from Investment (GI) - Cost of Investment(CI)) / Cost of InvestmentFull Cash: GI=$85k (sale proceeds) CI= $100k: ($85k-$100k)/$100k=$-15k/$100k=-15%Levered: GI=($85k(sale proceeds)-$80k(outstanding debt)) CI=$20k  [($85k-80k)-$20k]/$20k= ($5k-$20k)/$20k=-$15k/$20k=-75%n.b  Transaction costs are ignored for simplicity and ROI is not the best measure to use when evaluating the sale of a rental since it 1. assumes the home was bought and sold in the one year and 2. it is not an accurate measure of total return since it does not take into account cash flow from operations.

Less about the "is the 4unit a deal (spoiler: it's almost a deal)" and more about the pro's/cons of investing that close to a LARGE dev project and would it be beneficial in the long run.What I see so far :- Pros - consistent tenant flow (waitlist for big complex) and market rental rates to build against and measure- Pros - Affordable housing in Bay Area is still $2250+ for a 2b/1b apartment. - Cons - tenant experience during development and traffic congestion after- Cons - unknown property appreciation as the new building changes dynamic of communityThoughts?

Safety is important, but the reality is the measures taken can not be a major inconvenience or they will lose clients. 

There may be some stop gap measure?
