You need to gather leads from lots of sources, and develop a method of sifting through them to find the few diamonds worth persuing.

I don't pass up on offers of beer, kind of like as diamonds are to the ladys.

DIamond pattern is the soloution but does not look as good as the wave.

Diamond, sometimes the tax assessment value relates to the county's (or town in the northeast) best estimate of current market value.

Finding that diamond in the rough is increasingly difficult, and while I claim no expertise here, I cannot see such a sellers market, combined with the current political/economic climate continuing for more than another 24 months, and possibly much shorter with the coming elections, without an eventual leveling out at the very least.

If you dig hard enough you can find the occasional diamond in the rough.

BTW.......I often buy with cash, so if you find any diamonds in the rough, feel free to hit me up!

Heading closer to Boston you have the Boston Area REIA in Medford and the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham (Alternating months with their Worcester location, next one in Sep).

I'd recommend checking out the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham (alternates every other month with it's 2nd location in Worcester, net meeting in Waltham is Sep).
