Our perspectives, your advantage.

Rent Studies for private clients, for HUD as a third-party contractor, and for Contract Administrators as a Review Appraiser in fifteen states.

Rent Studies for
private sector clients

Our Rent Comparability Study (RCS) clients include organizations of all shapes and missions nationwide.

Who are our clients? They are local housing authorities at the interstate crossroads to private equity leviathans that own their own Midtown offices. The singular focus of our private sector clients is the financial wellbeing of the property, and the personal wellbeing of the residents. The mission and vision of partners during the life cycle of affordable housing is to bring all available resources to the table to ensure the highest quality environment for stakeholders and tenants.

Clients rely on us for rigorous market-derived evidence to maximize capitalized value in areas including:

  • Non-Shelter Services
  • Aging In Place
  • Substantial Rehabilitation

Third-Party Rent
Studies for HUD

In some instances, HUD will commission a Rent Comparability Study when the owner’s submitted RCS exceeds the threshold of 150% of Small Area Fair Market Rents. Doyle Real Estate Advisors is a contracted appraiser for three HUD regions to produce these Third-Party Rent Studies.

As a result of our third-party work for the agency, we have accrued a deep library of market research with the ability to benchmark rental data and trends across submarkets and the country.

Doyle Real Estate Advisors has conducted hundreds of third-party Rent Studies on behalf of HUD across the country, with our work substantiated and supported by staff as high as the Director’s Office.

Rent Study Reviews
for PBCAs

Our third-party Rent Study Reviews receive the same level of due diligence and market research that we apply to our reports.

In many instances, contract administrators have asked us to give the appraiser the benefit of our experience and expertise, whether it be in the area of selecting appropriate comparables or applying a superior methodology to adjustment.

Currently, Doyle Real Estate Advisors is the Review Appraiser for the following fifteen states: Alabama, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin.
