Arturo Borges if you have a hard time getting in touch with the particular municipality and the correct contact, I sometimes go to the building department very first thing and wait to talk to the plans examiner or permit technician (especially if it has been in process for a few weeks)

Landlord stats reset the thermostat after 2 hours and have a max of 72 or 70 depending on the model.

February stats for Pinellas County (St Petersburg & Clearwater being the two major cities) were just released.

The article made me stop and examine if I was really working on my business or in my business.

It is important to be able to analyze the trailing 12 month financial statement of a property and take a deeper look at the loss to lease by examining the rent roll.Ideally, you are lucky enough to have an excel version of the rent roll provided to you by the broker or the owner you are interacting with on your potential acquisition (or.. if you or someone you know is developing a character recognition software that is able to read a PDF version of a rent roll and convert it to a nice, clean excel version please let me know!).

Here are basic stats on single-family home sales for March 2018 for the City of Austin and the greater Austin area:In addition to Austin's housing supply and affordability issues, we can now include increasing mortgage interest rates to the significant forces applying downward pressure:The Fed is anticipating three to four rate hikes in 2018. 

The stat that is missing from the story of this tear down is what discount did this owner get on the property because of the condition it was in relative to a newly built home in the same neighborhood.

Beware there are quite a few older (1960s - 1980s), small multis (8 - 20 units) on the market recently which look like values until you really examine the operating costs in light of the current (and potential) tenant populations. 

However, I also look at expenses per unit (as a secondary examination), to see if there is anything out of order (e.g. market insurance is $200-$300 per door, and even if the overall expenses are 50% of Gross Income, but insurance is $420, than I look into it.
