@Jesse KerrYou can ask them about average sales prices, days on market, housing statistics, age of neighborhood/when homes were built, things like that.If you’re interested in demographics or crime rates, you need to look at sites like city-data dot com or neighborhood scout dot com or local police websites, or whatever you can find online, as agents can’t provide that information to you.

Hi Whitney:KW do have some paid courses, like their BOLD program which is very good.

There is a water exclusion in my policy, but the bold part is where I have some hope. 

I love the theory behind a subject to deal, however i'm curious how some of you guys handle the potential drawbacks of the deal.I'm not very worried about the due on sale clause, it seems that this happens so rarely that statistically it can almost be ignored. 

I've looked at the demographics for statistics such as income, population age, resale, new development, taxes, economic growth potential and with a few variances which appear to be associated with the size of each area, they seem fairly similar.

Recent statistics came out stating something along the lines of 7 million people are now behind on there car payments.   

Crime statistics, etc...

If you are working with a real estate agent/broker, talk to them about statistics of where there are the most sales. 

When debating statistical performances then the game becomes how to display the metrics.
