How much of your information is acquired via networking / walking / driving vs. statistics?

That is a mega stupid statistic.

My son is very solid in math, but being sophomore in high school any heavy statistical analysis might be beyond him, although he would likely be able to pick it up.

This analysis is rough, so there likely isn't anything special about these particular zip codes, but likely here and nearby will be more fertile statistically for 1% houses.If anyone is active in these areas, I'd love to connect and talk about your approach.

You're looking at multi decade investing horizons where the things that matter are local & regional economies, median household incomes, school districts, crime statistics, the competency & business friendliness of local & state governments, etc.

This site may be useful;http://www.relocate.org/view/But I don't know how they come up with their statistics...

They say that statistically there are more claims made when its not owner occupied.I am currently shopping around prices, but what seems odd to me is that there are more companies that provide this landlord insurance.

I don't have an academic or statistical source for this to cite, but I'm pretty dang sure that there is a correlation among my clients between "did my own taxes" and "run my own business" and "got audited and it really really sucked."

Also, what would you recommend in terms of what fix up options get the best return upon sell.thank you for your help Ohio, and anyone else who wants to chime in I would greatly appreciate it, as I am trying not to be part of the statistic of those who lose on their first deal and then never try again.

At looked at third quarter 2009 and the 75 Largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas.
