I'm doing some market research for good potential options in multifamily, and I can't figure out a way to quantify an average price per market.For example, in residential I'd use the median house price, but there doesn't seem to be data available equivalent to "median house price" for multifamily (at least not that I'm aware of).  

I am not familiar with them specifically but you should know there are many companies out there with software that crunches data to give you leads.

@John Pelaez Does this take into account local quotes for data such as property insurance, taxes etc.?

If you haven’t already, be sure to view the STS’s “estimated returns” data for the area here and do a thorough analysis of the numbers: https://theshorttermshop.com/e...My 2 cents on investing in BB?

At least it couldn't hurt.In addition to the realtor angle and depending on the scope of your plans, you could pull data on brownfield/contamination areas and cross-match it to parcel and property appraiser data to prepare a target list.

The more organized your data, the less you have to pay your Accountant to do your taxes.So no, QBS is not a requirement. 

I haven't gotten any actual data, but preliminary proforma suggests the property is under priced significantly based on the popular rules of thumb abounding on this forum, and has significant upside potential-nowhere to go but up really.

Getting some data points, as I am exploring the possibility of starting my own insurance company to provide "Default Insurance" - landlord is covered for 6 months if the tenant defaults.Any feedback?

Scott:If you are simply looking to analyse a property, create a budget or model cash-flow, then there are lots of spreadsheet templates available ... or, at least enough bits and pieces to get you started on building your own.If you want to keep the books of your business, then you will be best served to get a basic accounting package (QuickBooks, MoneyWorks, etc) even if you have only one property (at the moment).Ask your accountant if they have a preference as they will be more accustomed to importing data from certain packages into their system.

Just do yourself a favor and look at the NY Times Census data for Pottstown.
