When I was doing BPO's I did hundreds for Clear Capital. Clear Capital is a BPO mill that send reports to brokers and agents for a fee.

What these gross data reports do is averaging for an area.For out of state investors they look at this data and it is confusing.This is why you need someone LOCAL who understands market conditions for urban areas block by block,for suburban areas every mile,and for rural areas every few miles of where you are investing.

You can drill down even further then that but finding a local with intimate market knowledge is worth their weight in gold to protect your investing purchases.
