I have not read the report.He is one of the few good our there that seems to present data without spin or bias.He was one of the few that was saying real estate was dangerously high in 2005 and 2006.

We've put a 60-day notice in our leases for the last few years as we prefer the extra time to prepare for a turnover.

So I would suggest that you should keep on calling sellers back and or make a bigger data base of distress sellers.

But since we also got to a point where most investors are waiving inspections or else you don't stand a chance...It boils down to other factors, like if you are using a buyer agent which cuts out 1/2 of the LA's commission, or like Patrick stated above, offering extra cash for closing, or high EMD etc...

I'm looking to perform a economic/demographic analysis as part of the report and am looking for help acquiring data.

@Christopher Dumelle, I honestly tracked it for two reasons...primarily to make it feel like I was a little bigger player =) but too I am a data junkie (being in IT and all).

I currently am a Power Plant Operator and am saving my extra income to start investing in assets so that my money can make money, instead of 'working' for my money.

Example would be as follows:$1695 - Amount tenant pays for rent$152.55 - Property management fees (9%)$1542.45 - Amount paid to myself$1469.02 - Mortgage payment$1500 - Amount I pay for mortgage (I prefer to round up just to pay a little extra on the principal)This leaves me with the $42.45 profit from the property.I'm not sure how to buy in an additional market (or even go looking for one for that matter) where I could purchase an additional property for income purposes.

The site is CRSdata.com I've researched this site and it provides MLS data and can provide investors with mailing lists and sales comps.

I have more free time than most recent grads I know and I am determined to use that extra time to continue investing in my own education.
