If you are familiar with the term “Bird Dog”, a real estate agent is just a bird dog who is licensed to be one; 2) After getting your license, you’ll spend about $2,000 per year +\- to keep your license, regardless of whether or not you’ve actually made a dime, so be prepared to do something that first year to cover the cost of getting and keeping the license; 3) The average annual salary of a real estate agent is $42,000 per year according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the federal agency that tracks what different jobs pay across the country.

For example, if you look at recession statistics, generally office suffered higher vacancies and higher rental drops than multi family.

Or do these statistics even matter?

NYC uses a magic formula (statistical analysis) to figure out how much your property is worth based on comparing size, style, and age of your unit with your neighborhood.

I have a background in statistical analysis, that having been my first job out of school working at Harvard Med School doing statistical analysis on research studies for them.

My partner and I researched a number of cities throughout the nation using info from sites like the bureau of labor statistics (https://www.bls.gov/) to observe population growth, labor force growth, median income, rent affordability, etc.

I don't pay too much attention to housing statistics but I keep hearing that people are leaving California like crazy. 

@Dave Fagundes - latest statistics are that those in Houston that flooded 90% of them didn't have flood coverage (I am guessing) due to them not being required to by their lender.
