I was wondering if someone could help me, I'm trying to determine the SAM for real estate investing, eg what portion of properties sold will be used for investment purposes, either through mortgage type data or some other source.

If you look at the long term Case Shiller data, appreciation roughly matches inflation.

Use a web form or set up a form on your computer that you can save the data and use later.Most callers will start asking questions to see if you are a qualified buyer.
