Well, statistics show that people are leaving not only church, but religion, in record numbers.

My suggestion is to run your own statistics on what's currently in your target area. 

Interestingly, the exterior photos appear to be a bold orange, but it is actually a darker shade of red.  

Fortune favors the bold.

Not at ALL saying it cant be done, I'd honestly start with a Keller Williams office and go through their BOLD program to get the best start after getting your license.

But I hate to say, BLS statistics say TX had a -9.6% 12 month % change in employment in private Natural Resources and Mining employment in 2015(*).

I believe @Scott Trench has compiled some good statistics on rents in the Denver metro area, perhaps he can chime in?

Statistically 1 in 3 in this thread would go broke within 5 years.

I would ask myself, is there any statistics that can tell me how what percentage graduates of this program actually had made money from the knowledge gained from the program other than the founders?

I have learned to completely disregard articles like this and just constantly be checking my own statistics for my property and watch for trends.
