Research suggestions for presentation to potential multifamily investors

[Kevin Kachin]

I'm going to be presenting to a number of potential investors who will be (equity) partners with us on multifamily purchases in the Chicago area. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what data/research (local and/or national) they have used in their presentations that has been most effective in terms of strengthening your position for the benefits of multifamily investing as opposed to residential and/or putting their money into CDs, bonds, stocks.

I'm not looking for hard numbers - just what research has been most convincing.

Thanks for your time.

Kevin
