Ultimately, I'm shooting for a fairly comprehensive 12 sections with various calculations from the book to benchmark my operation of my properties.

In the wholesaling/investing space, the standard benchmark most people shoot for is a 0.5% to 1% response rate (so 5–10 calls for every 1,000 pieces sent).In terms of closings, the 'rule of thumb' is usually 1 deal per 3,000–5,000 mailers, depending on how competitive your market is and how aggressive your follow-up is.That said, I found that the 'cost per deal' was getting eaten up by bad data (returned mail).

As expected, the Federal Reserve held its benchmark policy rate steady at 3.50%–3.75% in a 10–2 decision, opting to pause after last year’s easing cycle.

HUD’s FMR is a benchmark, not an automatic award.

TechvestorMashvisorPriceLabs, Wheelhouse, AllTheRooms Analytics, Beyond, Rabbu, and others all offer varying levels of pricing optimization and market benchmarking.

Great to see another local investor in the Cleveland SFH space.Regarding the jump to 2-4 units, the 1% rule and $300/door are solid benchmarks, but in this market, the 'hidden' risks are usually in the utility splits and older mechanicals—especially if you're looking at older Cleveland doubles.My name is Mario and I work with a local property management team here.

In fact “the Google” says…Average Airbnb occupancy rates in the U.S. typically range between 50% and 60%, with 54–55% being a common benchmark for 2024-2025.

However, I was more so looking for a good benchmark system to say “yes or no” before beginning the underwriting process. 

While I know David Meyer (and many veteran BP contributors) often benchmark a 7%+ Cash-on-Cash return as a target for a "good" deal, my current underwriting is consistently landing closer to 5%.The deals that do hit that 7%+ mark seem to be exclusively in C-class neighborhoods, which I’m looking to avoid at this stage.For those active in the market right now:Are you seeing 7% CoC in B-class areas, or has the current interest rate/price environment compressed that closer to 5-6%?

Appreciate any real-world benchmarks.
