So I want to lay out my plan so far to see what you all think of it so far. Last I had shared I was looking at buying and renting out my first rental property by January 2017. Like Grant Cardone says "if your not scar...

It is at best a statistical guess.Mark

It's been statistically proven that staged homes sell faster and for more money.2)If you trust your contractor this sounds like a great deal.

Does anyone have/use a website for learning out population statistics in different areas?

I've been trying to look up housing statistics in the area but it's been harder to find than I thought.

There is not a whole lot of statistical data telling me how to find these neighborhoods, or more accurately, I don't know where to find these data sources, or how to interpret them. 

I have always wondered where these statistics come from.

If you can borrow $1M at 4% interest rate, and invest it into something that returns 10% dividends, then you are not only able to pay off the monthly interest, but also have 6% left over earning you 60k a year in profit.However, no amount of statistically proving 'this is the most profitable way' can make up for the stress that some people have over large amounts of debt. 

That part in bold about the client is referring to you.  

All the statistics out there come from National Realtor Association who needs to protect it's members and try to get them more listings.But let's assume it is indeed higher ... the question is: how much higher?
