College is still a statistically very good investment and gives you a foundation to work from. 

Statistically, a person that has one claim is more likely to have a second claim than a person with zero claims is to have their first claim.

I moved from Oregon to Fort Worth this year, and have at least 3 other friends making moves to this area as well from blue states.Do the statistics further break-down the numbers by type of units?

Statistics say only 5% of our decisions made every day are conscious and controlled.

@Buddy HolmesThis is from IRS Publication 527 "Residential Rental Property (Including Rental of Vacation Homes)" (I bolded the section that might apply to you.

These factoids will skew the numbers but again, you should not be investing in small single bedroom homes based on the statistics poured into the above. 

Statistically, real estate sales decline, increasing the likelihood the homeowner you're contacting hasn't had any activity in some time. 

Census.gov, Bureau of Labor Statistics, local Chambers of Commerce, and other online data sources.

I refuse to be a bad statistic in investing, so I want to make informed decisions at every step.

@Andy Zorychta nice and bold goal Andy!
