Hello BP Community,

How do you find owner-occupancy data for a particular market? How do you judge the threshold for whether that number is low/medium/high for a good rental market?

Also, what metrics do you typically track when deciding if a market / property would be a good cash flowing rental?

Thanks,

Thanks Russel. One more Q. Given that '08 was a market crash and was more excessive than a normal trough in a cyclical market, doesn't this skew the results? From a comparative stance we can see that Newark is doing worse than the rest of the country over a 10 yr period, but wouldn't it be better to focus on the 5 and 1 yr rate, which excludes the outlier to the market crash? Isn't that more indicative of normal market conditions/movements?

Hello BP World,

Was doing some neighborhood research and noticed that the national, state and city 10yr average appreciation rate listed was negative. Meanwhile, the 5yr and 1yr rate were enticingly positive. See figures below. 

What is the best way to read/interpret this? On average over the past 10 years, American homes have been depreciating; But home values have been rebounding in the last 5 years?
