Dang statistics always come out true :) And everyone says statistics are lies in disguise :)

this country's savings statistics have been, relative to other industrialized nations, abysmal at best since the 80's and probably before.

There are also statistics that show that of the nation's wealthy, over 35% of their holdings are in RE.In order to suceed in this business, you must be educated and must build a great team which includes your significant other.Enough said.

If you believe the statistics put out by people who have a vested interest in things being rosy, then see my sig below.

If you put your faith in government statistics, you are in for a rude awakening, they are in the business of covering their butts, and have absolutely no interest in telling us the truth about prices and wages.

All you have are statistics and myriad studies with varying assumptions.

Normally I budget $50 per month, but we have multiple properties and the statistics help even things out when you're dealing with multiple properties.

Also have your agents pull as much historic and present day statistical data you can.

Does that mean they are trying to be unethical by not showing any other statistics regarding the property or does it just mean they are letting potential buyers figure out their own figures to come up with ROI and cash flow as most investors use their own formula regardless of the market.

In terms of statistical information, I look for stable or upward-trending sales data, short and shortening lengths of market time, and generally how hard it is to find a 'good deal'... in areas that are gentrifying, people will tend to jump on it as the margins look pretty wide.
