Because of privacy laws the county would not even acknowledge that the office resided there, and the State Vital Statistics office would not give out a copy of the death certificate without a court order, also to comply with privacy laws. 

I know you can look up owner occupied statistics, is there anything else you look at?

Congrats on following your dreams and making a bold move.

It may seem that way from afar on TV but I saw a statistic that only 6% of the structures in Harris county flooded from Harvey.

Again, I love the bold/underline font whenever you mention realtor commissions and rebates. 

To any experienced agent those aren't "bold" offers, they are weak offers.

What is the most accurate site? And if I'm not in a major MSA, should I use the data for the closest major MSA?

Census Bureau and the Dept of Labor Statistics.

Another way is going to local real estate clubs or events and network with like-minded people that have some success.You can select any area to work in with the best statistics.
