I am evaluating a struck off property (SFR) that has been gutted in Texas (TX has 2 yr redemption period).

I provide rental rates for clients here in Chicago all the time, and I typically send them market comps so they can evaluate for themselves.

Remember even if you have someone run a CMA you need to look at the comparables they used to evaluate the comps were good sold comps.  3/1 one story to 3/1 one story same neighborhood, etc.

Then you need to evaluate if your market is expected to have higher expenses with respect to rent or lower expenses compared to rent Versus the “average” area.  

Hey Folks,I'm evaluating whether now is a good time to sell some multi-family properties I own in Winston-Salem, N.C.

Have you evaluated Kansas City numbers yet?

Doing a cash out refinance and evaluating new construction in San Antonio.

My turn over costs (high cost market) are ~$400/year of vacancy for the first 5 years of a tenant (5 year tenant cost me ~$2K for unit turn over).When I do a quick evaluation, it is always based on 50% rule (even though I do not believe cap ex/maintenance should be based off the rent, a lot of the cost are). 

It stunk like any other MLM pitch - Amway, Herbalife, etc.Due to my relocating to Maine from Mass, I went through an evaluation of 7 or so different brokerages in the area. 

This may sound harsh but if you didn't allow for expenses like these when evaluating the house then shame on you.
