Appreciation does occur only from February to July from statistical perspective, after that it's usually flat or down a bit.I can give some more picture/chart regarding this.

Many folks even the professional unable to decipher that this is mostly a statistical issue.

You are absolutely correct that fortune favors the bold, but the bold are few and far between.

lol yea it's pretty insane how people just throw statistics and data out the window and make these kinds of comments.... 

Bolded for truth.

Statistics on people's insurance coverage amounts shows that they are VASTLY underinsured. 

In fact, I did some research that of course is NOT a statistically verifiable example, and found that in the few instances I researched the wholesalers claiming huge earnings were LYING THROUGH THEIR TEETH.

I am not suggesting the statistic doesn't maybe have some truth in there.

I then ranked them based off the statistics that are important to me (rent growth, median home price, median home price increase, population growth, job growth, price to rent ratio, etc.) and selected the market the fit my criteria the best.

Not trying to be bleak, but I see on the forums so many people asking about Boise, and there's a whole underlayer that people don't see when you just look at the statistics.
