I'm testing this one out to verify its use so use it cautiously. 

I've recently passed the test and now I'm looking for a good broker to work under in Southeast Michigan.  

The book shows you how to develop Momentum Charts on Existing Home Sales, Building Permits, NOD, Foreclosure Sales, and interest rates.It took me several days geeking out and collecting the data, but now I just maintain the data sets and watch for patterns.

I'm still unsure whether eviction of a past homeowner constitutes as a 'rental' and that I'm a landlord and I wasn't willing to test this in court in case the house did burn down.

Well I figured that that city is the only one that reports the information on number of rooms so because the data wasn't there for the other cities it was assumed those cities have houses with 0 bedrooms.

Ask the realtor for the past 2-3 years of operational finances  ... s/he will either try to intimidate you away from wanting/needing them - in which case, walk away - or will provide you with a set of rosy, half-fabricated numbers {accept these with scepticism ... if you get in the territory of a deal, you will ask for corroborating information from his/her accountant or tax returns}.Once you have the financial data, take a run at analysing it, then bring it here for folks to review and assist you with coaxing the {likely} truth from the numbers.

I am not sure if other states have something similar.Like @Nazz Wang @Cameron Palmer mentioned check the county historical data from the tax collector website to get the best idea.

Real Estate Trainers, I have no affiliation other than I did their broker crash years ago and knew the answer to virtually every question on the test.

Hi Matt,Would the lender be okay with letting you purchase the property by doing a pressure test?

All in all if the numbers work and both sides feel like they are getting a good shake and it passes the smell test I think it's just a matter of what that individual person is comfortable with in moving forward.
