Also i looked up the crime rate and area statistics.

This is technically correct at present, but there is a vast difference between a statistically unlikely event and a statistically impossible event.

I can't be as bold as I was without my license and I have to conduct myself very carefully for fear of breaking confidentiality, etc. 

Any statistics on which happens more often?

Ive seen the bold colors at Staples, but they're about a buck a piece.

As an interesting observation, it seems that with a sufficiently large post count, it begins to normalize around 10:1 being that influence tends to hover around 10x the post count.Geeky statistics aside, I would give two opinions.On the simple side of things, get rid of it.

Also I don't know of any statistics, but it seems that OP is stating the majority of properties bought as investment properties these days are newbie/ignorant investors.

The index measures three sets of independent monthly data to get a mark on the top improving Metropolitan Statistical Areas.

Unfortunately trying to convince conservative mortgage pay down investors that they are waving a flag and wearing a sign that says in bold letters "come and get me" is a waste of effort.

That being said, fortune favors the bold so hopefully you folks can give me some advice on how to proceed and what to look for along the way.
