I haven't had any luck finding comp data (sales or rents).

But the reason it didnt work out wasn't because I didnt know how to trade well enough; in fact he was going to set me up an account to trade with his money first then other peoples money.also I thought about hvac, electrical, and plumbing but the job market here is really bad. and it would take 4 years for me to make as much money as I would if I became an entry level BMW tech.

I have no idea but I have seen many surveys that take the time to say all the normal things about who and why the data will be used.John Corey

If statistics matter the data says buying a franchise opportunity has a much greater chance of success and will more likely match what you expected going in.

BUT only SOLD COMPS 6months or less, close to the property, make sure apples to apples ie 3 bed/2bath--3/2 ; sq footage same (close) and close to same year built.5) Work on developing a team-- this will be dynamic at first..a) A good realtor 2) title person--help get comps 3) banker 4) loan personyeh contractors-- Im a general but a have a good eletrical. painter, tile, hvac, group-- maybe you be the general and find good subs--6) TO BE truly successful you MUST start a data base of Buyers and Sellers --KEY --Investors are buyers-- NETWORKING is another giant key.GOOD LUCK , get excited when you get discourage--thats a hill you just climbed over --that much closer to you GOAL....

I just can't make entry level money after making almost $1,000,000 in a few years.

The APOD - Annual Property Operating Data will show all the income and expenses for the property month by month.

So, I look back to 1999 or 2000 and try to find some data point.

Some great data points in there.1.1 million loans out of 8.37 million ARMS will be in foreclosure in the next 6-7 years.

Any advice or links to data about this would be much appreciated!
