Local knowledge can also improve investment outcomes.

I have a little bit of a choice personal problem.

It just means he manages his time so that he posts when he can, at his choice. 

Seemed like a nice and knowledgeable guy.

So if it can do that, shouldn't it be able to be pointed to any website of your choice, search through groups/posts/etc and communicate with anyone who displays some kind of "intent" to sell, and if no intent is found, it could generate "curiousity" and help develop some curiousity from anyone in the group, and it could do this, until all possible efforts have been exhausted over time. 

Knowledge is the only way to invest profitably in any market.

We were both pretty lucky and made some smart choices with what we had.

However, you should always do some market research, talk to an attorney, and be knowledgeable about the law in NYC.

I really wanted to continue using them, but for growth it just wasn't the best choice for us. 

I can appreciate that advise but being a Realtor and and My Dad being an master electrician (with a much broader knowledge base that goes more into being a GC without a license - and no we won't use him as an unlicensed GC) I feel pretty confident that we can do our first flip and be successful.
