I also use CL and Zillow, as mentioned by others here, to setup ongoing rental email alerts for properties similar to mine, to get a sense of current demand and to set rental future rate adjustments .

If they are booting, there is going to be an increase in rental demand in that area.

I wanted to play a quick game with everyone.

Growth has slowed form around 8%/year to 4%/year and there are a lot of factors contributing to the slow down but the demand for housing is still strong.

Yes MF is crazy here in Denver, low supply and high demand, coupled with high ask prices.

I'm interested in purchasing a multi-family property (live in one unit, rent out the other) and was playing around with the calculator, but I get the feeling the property I'm interested in is not a good deal (that and/or I'm messing up the numbers because I definitely left quite a few fields blank).

I've been playing tennis in my head about what I should do for the past few months and now I'm even more confused than when I started to think about everything.

A lot of folks will argue with me on this, but play arround with the BP calculators and pay attention to capex (full rehab every 30 years), appreciation and mortgage pay down.

I feel OKC is more a steady income play, rather than an appreciation play - one reason we invested there. 

I've played in the auctions.Mike
