Method and limits
Filter HUD's contract file to overall expirations in the next 24 months, join property attributes, withhold owner names that do not read as an organization, convert HUD's rent-to-FMR percent to a ratio (unknowns left empty), estimate contract rent from the contract's own bedroom-mix FMRs, flag Section 8 vs PRAC, roll up owners, join owners to the ontology by normalized name.
Not an opt-out notice list (owners have not necessarily filed one), not a rent comparability study, and no personal contact data: property phone numbers and individual owner or contact names are excluded.
