I've only recently begun pulling my head out of the data and really putting my hypotheses and data models to the test in the real world - so far, with positive results.Anyway, i was recently playing with the numbers from various sources, and I put this together for those of you who may be curious about what areas/markets based on real data may be the "most bang for the buck" areas to invest in.

That would imply an uneducated decision based off no supporting evidence other than what I can randomly hypothesize.

I don't think so, since its not her personal home and she's only a guarantor on the loan, but I'm just hypothesizing here....

I would hypothesize they were asked to move, or given cash for keys.

I can hypothesize much but i hope Jeff would be willing to share some details about the cost to tap his extensive knowledge.

They are expensive no doubt, but experimenting with different types of marketing is key to this business.Jeremy, it sounds like you are just hypothesizing about billboards and don't necessarily have any experience with them.

Try to create your own hypotheses and then bounce your ideas off investors in your area.

I am NOT for sure, but I would hypothesize that it would violate at least some realtor ethic's codes if not some specific laws.

I'd suggest this idea; hypothesize a worse case scenario and walk it backwards to the final question - did you take every option available to insulate yourself? 

I don't have much experience with that, but when they go to do the appraisal or the termite inspection (which are both normally required on a conventional loan) then they are probably going to cite the lack of normal amenities and I would hypothesize that it will throw up red flags for the lender.Either way I think your investor buyer pool is drastically decreased for financing issues and even moreso because of the level of work required as Charles described.As for the vision of normal homeowners, I do think that some type of software could help overcome that gap, but I think you are looking at a much more time intensive sales and marketing strategy, then.
