13 January 2025 | 30 replies
@Robert Quiroz I think all of the factors you have listed might contribute.So I’m not going to comment on that but I am going to comment on an assumption you made.If 85% of rents are below market on deals you underwrite then those contract rents are probably THE market rent.You can’t just go based upon area median income to rent ratio.First off urban areas are oftentimes street by street, block by block.
