I invest in a statistically low growth area of NE Ohio.

Also get an advanced degree with some sort of statistical background as early as possible as it is an asset that will always be with you.

I cannot speak from experience since I don't have any pools, and I'm not sure of the statistics (injuries, lawsuits, etc.) or the costs of maintenance.

If you're looking at this than you know all the statistics about inmates who don't rehabilitate and end up going back into the system.

The Portland-metropolitan area has the lowest apartment vacancy rate of any metropolitan statistical area in the USA According to data released by the U.S.

Statistically 2-3% commissions get sold faster.

WE have VERY low LTV on finished lots less than 20% So our returns of course statistically are not the max leverage max returns I went for max safety and healthy returns. 

It's great to do research early on BUT statistically a busy broker/agent can't spend day and night with someone to learn an asset class when they have other clients that are buying properties TODAY. 

@Dave Carpenter thank you so much. i just reached out to find the sellers supply reps so that i can talk to them. there a few car washes in town. population of the city is about 73,000. where this car wash is there actually is not one too close. it has multiple small car dealerships, an Enterprise rent a car and many residential and commercial apartment buildings. if the current owner has not at least spoken with the owners of those dealerships, i would certainly be willing to in order to drum up more business. the traffic count is 10,500 per year if im reading the statistics right. i will do just that on the community page. i am already a member so that will be easy. 

I agree that the statistic from NAR is that 97% of buyers purchase their home through an agent.
