I had to see some data on this. 

(I know it is a big if though) I just have a bad issue of analysing and never taking action, since I am a math person and huge with data analysis. 

Hi All,In my state they collect almost no data in the Real Estate Transactions.

I use comparable sales data from one of the online sources.

Meaning, areas where people will settle down but the demographics (and housing prices) mean a large portion of people simply won't be able to buy for a long time (or ever).To find such places, I look at the census data for income in various sub-neighborhoods, then use median housing prices to see what percentage of residents could afford to buy housing using typical loans.  

@Scott Costello wrote a great blog post on his personal blog comparing a site he had built w/ one he did w/ InvestorCarrot (shows the actual data and conversions, etc.) 

Think about what public records tend to be very accurate (ownership and loan information, deed related data, etc) and run largely off of those, because anyone can change structural details without telling the county, getting permits and reassessments in order to reflect those changes, etc.

THIN FILES are ironically the new norm now that Credit Underwriting  and ID verification tends to be more strict.he's only 25 and assuming you have his SSN, DOB, and are running an address he's been at least a year, at least credit INQUIRIES themselves should have generated a file so if theres a thin file its one thing, but if he's really actually previously UNKNOWN then he is now instantly KNOWN to at least one of the big 3 at the moment u pulled the credit report. assuming those 3 pieces of ID (SSN, DOB, ADD) are all accurate, cuz if any of those 3 are 'novel', it will throw off the data and likely also give u a thin file flag.

LOTS to learn but driven and excited to succeed!

During my research I uncovered a lot of interesting data on similar recent sales and current inventory.
