The government shutdown paused official data releases, but private reports still gave us a glimpse into what’s happening — and it’s pointing toward slower job growth, steady housing momentum, and likely lower rates ahead.💼 Private Sector Job Growth Stalls in SeptemberADP reported the private sector lost 32,000 jobs last month — a sharp miss from the +50,000 forecast.

OpenAI Inc. plans to occupy a $3 billion data center campus in Milam County (NE of Austin) as part of an expansion of its Stargate joint venture, which has its flagship artificial intelligence hyperscale site in West Texas.- Sam Altman's OpenAI is taking space in a planned Milam County data center campus.- Its larger Stargate project is set to be a $400 billion-plus investment over the next three years.- Central Texas continues to be a hub of data center activity.

What came out was a real picture of what’s happening — not market predictions or nationwide averages, but hard data from our actual portfolio.Here’s what we found: rents rose an average of 22.6% across Central Florida during that period.

How do I use data to identify which agents have sold the most new build homes in Orlando area?

Does that rent include vacancy such as would be included if you used average daily rate (ADR)You have utilities, maintenance/cap ex including on tne furnishings, PM (always include it even if self managing because your time has value), potential vacancy, increase in insurance cost (STR/ MTR insurance typically costs extra), and miscellaneous.Your cash flow will be significantly less than the $1500 that was rent minus PITI.However, if the house is bigger than you need then there is opportunity.  

Screening is your first line of defense in reducing rental risk—cutting corners there can cost far more down the road.Cheaper report costs usually mean cheaper data: automated pulls, incomplete records, and no human review.

Quote from @Devin Conley: The Reno market does appear to have slowed down a bit this year, but honestly numbers are not totally unusual for the time of year.e.g. monthly absorption rates are down YoY from 33.4% to 29.1% But other key stats like price drop rate are look typical and are actually slightly better YoY (down from 31.7% last August to 29.9% this year) It's not crazy unusual, but August did have some notable things that you don't usually see in an August, like 11% of homes coming off the market unsold, 31 DOM, double last year, and 3.6 months of inventory is the highest August I see in my data, which goes back to 2015.IDK if my personal opinion is necessarily accurate, but I've never paid too close of attention to the price cut rate.

A Denver data center developer plans to turn more than 700 acres into a $1.2 billion data center campus in an area emerging as a hub for the industry. 

When it comes to screening, the cheapest report is never the best deal, it’s usually just the cheapest data.

The problem was that the data was too broad and generic.
