The average rent has increased much faster than minimum wage and average wage for virtually any long term time span in Los Angeles. 

Brandon Turner says somehwere on average 7 to 8 years - that's what I am seeing as well. 

I am just trying to get a feel for an average price to be expected for:1) Initial tax evaluation, plan creation etc  (flat rate per year)2) Tax advisement for each following year3) Fees for actual tax return filingI am not asking for specific CPA recommendations, or anything of that nature.. just trying to figure out what range I should be expecting for somebody who specializes in real estate.

The average rents in Indy (and the midwest) are less than many other areas of the country...)that's why we have such a hot market, low rents = low purchase price). a 10% management fee in a market of 1500 - 2500 is a lot higher than 10% of a market with rents 500-1000.  

The U.S. average vacancy rate is 7 percent.

In the last 7 days:789 properties have come on the market.471 properties have gone under contract with a buyer.764 properties have sold/exchanged owners.312 new leases were signed.The average and median sale prices/square foot increase by $1.38 and $3.45 compared to last week and more than that compared to previous weeks. 

I am in the Rochester Ny area and My cap has been 30% on average.

I'm not comparing Des Moines to NYC but although you see much higher rents in NYC, you have pockets that are multiple times the average. 

The paycheck program is max 2.5x monthly payroll costs 1 year average. 500 employees or less.

I think capital for deals is going to dry up for the average investor.
