Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics.

then its go dark never hear from them again.. and your officially a lending scam statistic..  

Do you have statistical data or experience to back up the lower numbers?

I'm strictly going off of home prices and crime statistics.

Any statistics on which happens more often?

Thanks for sharing your statistics!  

Also, does this statistic take into account the college degree that you also mentioned?

Giving a PROMISE of money down the road for a bunch of FREE stuff today to a broker/agent is a very quick way for a broker/agent to go out of business.This is the same as a seller saying cut me a deal (commission) on selling my house and we will buy through you and then they use another buyers agent on their purchase.If you want to be a success in real estate as a broker/agent you have to value your time or you will go out of business.It seems if that MLS assistant status is allowed in your state then that might be the solution.Then you can spend your time running all kinds of comps you want at YOUR TIME and EXPENSE.As I have said on other posts before.If it is your own cash and you have a recent bank statement then you are a cash purchaser.If you are using private money,hard money,or transactional funding then your money is tied into certain CONDITIONS to be met to get that money to close the deal.Anytime there is someone else's money involved that the purchasers there is many more things that can derail a deal and it never closes.Some deals do close but statistically the odds are not in the broker/agents favor.Making money as a broker/agent and smart investment decisions with your time just like an investor does with doing deals is what makes a broker/agent last and become very profitable long term.Wholesalers to me I don't classify as purchasers or investors.Many times they are trying to use OPM to collect a fee as a middleman.Nothing wrong with that except when they try to act like a regular purchaser.That's where the rub comes in for many in the industry.Just be real in what you want to do and if the seller doesn't want to do that do not try to manipulate them stating you are something you are not to try and lock up a deal and collect a fee.

Such a statistical long shot.
