That's a nationwide statistic and it's been like that for decades.

If you purchased enough properties, you would arrive at a statistical monthly percentage average repair cost over time.

It’s fun to claim a crash is coming. It also can be wishful thinking. I don’t love some of these stats… as a full timer in this industry the closed volume reduction… sucks! It is different right now. But does this equ...

All I can believe is the ratio of flips to total home sales, and maybe median price, as these are probability statistics and public record.

Apparently it’s statistically better to offer oddball numbers so they think they’ve extracted every penny from you like $76871.15 vs $77,000.
