I was wondering what some investors might say about the standard output data vs. standard mortgage leads.

As a contractor it's standard for me to ask potential investor clients if they have any comps they can provide.  

There are other differences of course  reporting, resale times State Approvals, SEC pre approvals, Suitability Standards, and advertising methods.  

Also, understanding market demand for services, there should be an industry standard; however, there are always exceptions, but for the sake of argument, I have to find a guy who will work within the standard.

Don't renovate to the standard you would live in if it's a rental, and if it's a flip, make sure you understand what the market demands in terms of amenities, colors and styles!
