Statistically, considering the demographics, it is thought that Phoenix will need 150,000 new apartment homes by 2030.

Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Is somebody on here adding up how many engineers invest in real estate and doing a statistical analysis on it, maybe with mean, average, median, standard deviations, a few transformations and differential equations and coming up with an answer on what percentage of RE Investors are engineers???!!!  

At least you'll learn about contracts, have MLS access, be able to schedule showings yourself & have lockbox access, and have access to MLS statistics so you can research markets and activity.

While I don't have my bachelors degree, my associates degree in business taught me VALUABLE business skills between accounting, finance, economics, statistics, technical writing and even public speaking.

I will not sell myself short & just assume I am an average individual after hearing a statistic.

I will assume that because this gives them a good return ( The market growth is well documented (in dutch) on the CBS website : Central Bureau of statistics Curacao.) 

I brutally used MLS statistics to find him.
