I use City-Data.com a lot for crime maps, demographic statistics.

Our key features are, schools of course, quality of life, things to do, as well as statistical data for appreciation and rent/own ratio.

Even in the areas where the statistics show crime as a problem it's a block by block thing and people still live there. 

You won't find similar statistics with a 2-3 bedroom property, you might find your numbers are better.

Definitely recommend something more bold.  

Statistically when marketing to a “New†customer the new customer costs 5 to 10 times more than a customer who has already done business with you.

I don't want to be another statistic of someone that got started and never landed a deal. 

Bold move, bubba, bold move.

On any user who has a "public" profile, there will be a section called "Statistics", and within the statistics there is a "Last Active" metric.

I'm connected on LinkedIn with the Executive Sales Association of America, and even though they're not in real estate per se, when you're marketing, the statistics seem to show that you'll get a response on the 5th or 6th touch/meeting.
