Of course if you're audited it's something they could and probably would examine. 

I think it is probably the most important stat.

@Luis ZunigaThe county appraiser would be a good start for tax assessment values... but these have little to do with true market value.For single family homes other smaller properties, nothing beats sales stats from the multiple listing service.

I wont examine one w/o a muzzle....period....no exceptions... 

I looked up some stats for you to get an idea of how common what you're looking for is and the price points.

Check crime stats as well. 

However basic supply and demand should be examined - not just a general slam against those choosing to invest in our community.I just hope this "one couple" trying to buy a house in Cordova doesn't ever need to move to Seattle or SF or LA or almost anywhere else in the US because they will realize the Memphis housing market is still affordable and accessible to most people

But, I'll give you an interesting co. stat.

Not familiar with your particular situation, but you might want to examine all other options of reaching your targeted sellers first.This also brings up the question of blast advertising versus using the process of providing information, networking, etc. to get motivated sellers to contact you.

The next check, for the beginning months of 2010, was cashed, but the check for the last two months also bounced.Well, that was a ridiculous post by Financial Examiner.
