For estimating rents, it depends on whether you are considering a market rate tenant or section 8.For market rate, look a rental comps in the area with same number of beds and baths.For section 8 tenants, go on pha website to find the fair market rent for your zip code and number of bedrooms

For example, 3/2, zip code xxxxx, subdivision, lot size x, assessed value between x-y, no mortgage or less than x %, etc.  

I am starting to market in the Dallas market now and wanted know what are some of he best zip codes to target. 

However, as BP is a sharing space some of you may be open to it – and it would certainly go a long way to making me (and probably others) open to investing in those neighborhoods.I think it would be great if you could filter down to a given zip code (37127, Frayser, in this case) and provide the following information: Zip Code: 37127Time Period (please filter your results for a three year time period, if possible, otherwise please state the period of time used)Number of Properties Currently Under Management (if possible, please remove any of the properties owned by you to remove any bias; also, include properties that were held in your management for any period during this time – not just those that were held the full period)Total Potential Monthly Rent (the value of rent that would have been brought in if there was no vacancy)Total Contracted Monthly RentTotal Rents ReceivedTotal Late Fees AssessedTotal Late Fees ReceivedTotal Deposits Collected (initially provided by tenant)Total Amount of Deposits Retained (not returned to tenant due to damages, etc.)Total Maintenance/Repairs/Make Ready/Expenses PaidTotal Number of EvictionsI’ll leave out Cost of Evictions, Utilities, Property Management Expenses, Property Insurance, financing, and Property Taxes as these may vary widely per property and may not be paid through the Property Management Company.

I have started 2 more campaigns(about 1500 mailers) in different zip codes w/o any real success.

We have seen on average that postcards get about .5% response, letters get about 8%-9% response rate, and zip letters and greeting cards get about a 2% response.

Are there any locals or investors that can recommended any zip codes or neighborhoods in B areas to invest in or any zip codes to stay away from?

This list would contain the zip code and corresponding name of the municipality, and a breakdown of the number of SFRs.

In the end I got zip...nadda!

I'm considering a property in the Cedarbrook area (19150 zip, NW of Philly).
