My favorite is the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham (alternates every other month with their Worcester location, next Waltham meeting is in July).

My favorite is the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham (alternates every other month with their Worcester location, next Waltham meeting is in July, also I'm in West Newton as well and it is BY FAR the closest one to us as well).

My personal favorite is the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham if you are willing to go a bit farther out.  

this would be a one off situation, like finding a diamond in the rough.  

I have a property management company weed out all the tenants I don't want, and allow tenants who are simply low income, not "Jerry Springer episode" types.Now, that being said, I've found a lot of diamonds in the rough, BUT I'd say for every 10 houses I look at, maybe 1 or 2 are worth looking at further.  

I started listening to the podcasts and attended a Black Diamond meeting recently.

Yes@Mark Higginskeep at it, there's always a diamond out there, just gotta get through the haystack right?

Besides Black Diamond, start attending other events as well, if only for the reason of connecting with more people.
