Hi @Joshua Martin I don't have good statistics to back it up but my impression is similar to @David Faulkner's comment.

Haverhill is a great market as well. getting competitive now saturated now; statistically, Haverhill has one of the largest increase in market rental rates over the last 2 years out of all of MA.

They spout all kinds of made up statistics to try to convince FSBOs that somehow saving the commission actually costs them money.

Statistically they are, as most liability claims are under these amounts.

@Joe Splitrock Such stunning statistics...a less than 0.0003 chance of being shot.

http://www.statcan.gc.ca/tables-tableaux/sum-som/l...Canada's average persons per household = 2.5 in 2011. http://www.stats.gov.nl.ca/statistics/Census2011/P...Given the above stats, there appears to be an over supply of building across Canada: 195,000 x 2.5 = 487,500 is the number of people that builder's are currently supplying for, which is ~100K more than population growth.  

Zimbabwe’s inflation rate reached 231 million percent in July, the last annual rate published by the statistics office.

A 10% market vacancy may be statistically correct but if you own an eight unit project and turn one unit a month, your turnover vacancy is 12.5% before even talking about market vacancy or tenant default.Go forth and conquer.. experience is life best teacher

There will be a significant increase in the crime statistics from a B to C.

Besides the statistics that say 90% of people use a broker, there are other reasons I think FSBO is not a good use of your efforts. 1.
