You don't need words, the charts will do. 

I have taken the exam twice and I didn't pass by one point each time, so I'm pulling my hair out.

You best way to go about this is if you have the target area and properties you like to buy, I would research the local section 8 housing committees and ask them what their rates are and that will give you the actual rental rates they provide.I have a list of my committees and what they allow to pay for example it’s a chart and it will say 1 bedroom $900 , 2 bedroom $1300, etc……

Your trying to time the market, hmmm.............Good luck It's no joke, and it's not a lot of analyzing, perhaps you haven't seen my post 'I made LA/Ventura & SF/Bay Area market analysis & sales comps tools you can use' (seems my original post photos are missing, but see the post replies for a thorough run-through)You, me, everyone can instantly generate these charts with my software tool RUNCOMPS, among other things:All I did was save a few of the charts generated by the Sales Data radio button at the bottom, and then put them in Google Slides to come up with all this in <15 min.Were you thinking I sat there, manually scraped this data, cleaned & calculated on the data, then manually made charts for every zip code, and all that? 

In my expierence that is all going to need to start with a well crafted chart of accounts.

I know how deceiving management companies can be when representing their rates so I just wanted to find out if that was something that was being broken down in your chart.

Understand your chart of accounts, the p&l statement, how proforma income statements follow more along with accrual accounting while your actual accounting method is cash accounting.
