@Jimmie Feaster  I think where you're running into issues is the relatively arbitrary figure of 85%. 

Then you have to join couple of associations / boards (relators, tmls).

I have no idea where CoStar gets its data, but my only guess is that the numbers are skewed by added units coming to market? 

Are you relating it to Net Worth?

Hi Kusum,Wonderful responses some of these helpful folks gave above so don't want to beat a dead horse but....I will be operating under a few assumptions:I am operating under the assumption that you would like a neighborhood that is more or less safe for yourself or a relative to walk around the area with the young ones.

The instruction sheet will tell you which models can be interconnected, and you can often get that sheet as a PDF from the manufacturer's web site before you buy.I've also seen a suggestion to make sure that wired smoke alarms are powered from a circuit that also has a light on it that is used relatively often - like the light over the stairs, or the front porch light, or similar. 

The data is there or it isn't.  

Nearly all counties will provide tax roll data.

Our requirements were fairly straightforward: manage tenants, track/process rent, track expenses, accept online payments, decent reports (or give me the data so I can make my reports), have a decent interface and have good support.  

Almost all of Woodbury is a C class neighborhood and is relatively safe (father operated business here for few years and was fine, although he got a few crazy customers).
