@Matt Geerts, I can't point to statistics to prove it statistically, but if I only had to rely on one referral method it would be lawyers.

Insurance companies, banks, cellphone companies, and yes landlords will always have late pays no matter the amount of screening your doing,  it is statistically impossible to have zero late pays.

Hand written letters, with a stamp statistically work the best.

Statistical information suggests that it is not a matter of if the Kitec will fail but rather when the Kitec will fail."

That's 21% with issues, and much less serious (e.g. no need for foreclosure).Statistically, these results are meaningless, so take it at face value.

If there was a statistic I bet it would be minuscule I guarantee you most people who sell care what they net out of the house sale.  

I hate statistics jobs like that, it's just too hard to measure.If x agent spends 10 hours a week learning and trying to be better and y agent sits in the office wondering when someone is going to call how can you measure that and say that the average agent makes = z.Who ever woke up wanting to be average anyway!

However, this market looks like a statistically stable market (goes uppitiest and down) and unless there is some significant outside event, it should continue as is.Go to the seminars.

I know several people and even some people who sell and sold Real Estate up there; they could have and because of statistics, most likely lost everything like everyone around them(not confirmed, so hopefully the statistics are wrong).

I would think a qualified mentor would be diligent about keeping statistics on their successes as a mentor.
