LP on 560 unit complex in Memphis that was down 6% on collections in April vs March and Feb.GP on 170 unit complex in Montgomery, AL that was down 13.5% compared to prior months, but this isn't a great statistic for the area because we are also actively trying to free units up for renovations on this asset. 

I don't know the statistic, but I'm willing to bet it's higher for partnerships. 

If I run into any problems with the flip, since I know statistically first time flippers take significantly longer on their first renovation, I could afford the payments to the lender.Those are my thoughts!

Aside from the great statistical sites @Alex Olson mentioned, I would also hop on google maps street view and virtually drive the neighborhood.

Statistically, you're going to live to about 80. 40 years of doing nothing is a long time.

I found the following article on the Freddie Mac website to have some interesting state by state statistics.  

In Texas, free statistics can be found here https://4closure.info/statistics.aspx

It encompasses more advanced statistical analysis that is way to complicated to describe in the forum if you don't want to fall asleep but it basically calculates how a new job/employer created would create "x number" of new jobs and thus would create "x number" of new population which would create "x number" of new active buyers (demand).

You'll have access to recently sold comparable sales, market rents and other market statistics that you won't find on Zillow, Trulia, etc.

Analytically I'll be following building permits by zone to get an idea of what's going on in our area but if anyone has any other method of analyzing what's really going on in different zip codes by statistics I'd love to hear/see them!
