We lived behind Diamond Head in Kaimuki.

There are many more horror stories from international preconstruction investors just like here in the United States in all areas of real estate, who thought they found “the diamond in the rough” and invested their money, only to discover that one of the five situations listed above had occurred.

Acres of Diamonds by Conwell.

Joe - Sounds to me like you found a diamond in the rough.

The book Acres of Diamonds comes to mind.

The Black Diamond meeting in Waltham is one you should check out.

At a previous Black Diamond event they had Jonathan Moore from Omni Environmental Group I did not go to the meeting but I asked him about a property that had a partial cleanup from a home heating oil spill and he answered them quickly.

Get a little closer to Boston and there is the awesome Black Diamond meeting that @Ann Bellamy runs and the Boston Area REIA.

He only uses diamond program, where he paid 2k upfront and then keeps everything.

Going North there is the Boston AREIA (now in Medford) the Black Diamond REI event in Waltham run by BP regular @Ann Bellamy and going a bit farther @Justin Silverio has been doing a quarterly (The others are monthly) unofficial BP Meetup in Woburn that a lot of locals here have been going to.
