Two local investor groups I’ve attended and recommend are Black Diamond REI in southern Mass and RI Real Estate Investors Group in Rhode Island.

I do not want lazy employees looking to make a living and do the least work possible for a job.I am looking for those that want to put in the hard work and excel to have the chance at making a possible extraordinary life for themselves.It's just human nature lots of times if someone made 50k salary and had a chance for a 15k bonus if it was hard to make the 15k many would say forget it I have enough to live on the 50k.It's hard to find the potential diamond employees or workers among the duds. 

Maybe you could find a diamond through the rough. 

Is it an up-and-coming diamond in the rough? 

Acres of diamonds!

If you're looking for a Realtor to find you a cash flowing deal....well why wouldn't I just buy them myself if I find that diamond in the rough?

Remember “Acres of Diamonds.”

I found a diamond in the rough in NC.

Lots of questions because the value sounds too good to be true.If all the numbers check out, you've found a diamond and should have it locked up under contract yesterday.

I've heard many more experienced investors on the BP podcast say that a high-quality PM is like a diamond in the rough, and is the most important component of their deal team.If you really want to be safe, find a trustworthy local property manager *before* you buy a property, and involve them in the deal from the beginning.
