@Joshua D. Are

Congrats on daring to think big, and on the hard work you're putting into educating yourself about the great world of syndications.It's great that you pay attention to the small stuff but don't overthink it man.

One of them was by Theodore Roosevelt(sp) :"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat"

I also enjoy taking candy away from small children and yell at any toddler that dare play in front of my house. 

I'm interested in the financials, plusses and minuses (if I dare say so).

I dare say 99% of the agents in my market don't pay attention to expireds!

People yell at me over the phone for sending them a letter in the mail because HOW DARE I (lol) and we buy 6 properties in 6 months.

Everyone here has some really good points, I also dare to ask the question if the rest of the state continues to fail how will Chicago stand?

Real estate agents would never dare sell his property.

MASS MOCA is a good draw but the town itself is a bit depressed with no real turn around in sight.I would try and get closer to the 5 college area or try the Springfield market if you dare!!
