Data is key when it comes to making informed decisions in the real estate investing world. Whether you love spreadsheets or not, data allows you to develop some level of trust with the person doing the data analysis. While some people take comfort in having mentors, others only trust the numbers. And for a lot of people, especially beginners, data allows them to get over the early hump. But is it enough to solely rely on it?  Today, Dave Meyer talks about how to use data and analytics to get bigger pockets. Dave is the VP of Growth & Analytics at BiggerPockets.
