My story goes like this......The job I held for 21 years came to a sudden end when the Pharmaceutical company I was employed by made the announcement that they were closing there doors.

You can go to the site and get on the list to get announcements.  

One of the things that we've heard from you guys is that you wish we could use the power of BiggerPockets to help bring you discounts on products and services of interest.You spoke and we listened . . .I'm excited to announce our New BiggerPockets Perks page (found at the top of the Resources menu).On this page you can find deals and breaks from partner companies for all members and additional Perks that are exclusive to our PRO members.We've got discounts from folks like Foreclosure.com, TransUnion, Dun & Bradstreet, EZLandlordForms, US Legal Forms, PayNearMe and others...and we're in talks with dozens of others right now.Jump on our Perks page today and start saving!

With projected low prices on oil for the next 6 to 12 months and the just announced layoffs and shutdowns in oil field services and leasing will North Dakota continue to be a high growth state.Another one is that Michigan is just now reversing population decline that ran unabated since 2000.

As I mentioned, the market value may be adjusted to reflect a distressed value.At the moment, I can only think of one situation, I'm sure there are more that would be similar, as to a higher price being obtained than it's perceived or proven market value that wouldn't be predatory;If both parties know something that is not public knowledge, say we know that Kroger is going to build a shopping center where this house is and they will be announcing it soon, we may agree on a much higher price than what would be shown as the market value for that property.

You're possibly dealing with to different time frames: one for the sales agreement (say you agree to close in 45 days) and the second is your state's (and the Fed's) to return your paperwork and get all of the announcements posted.

Phoenix has been appreciating at healthy levels for the last 4 or 5 years with solid lending practices, largely void of speculators, supported by job and population growth and the resale market is below new construction prices in most areas.I think the recent Intel announcement of tooling the new plant provides just one more basis of strength for the SE Valley.

I don't want to make an "official" meetup announcement yet -  but just wanted to see if there were folks in Hawaii, on Oahu or in Honolulu or Kailua or elsewhere, who would wanna get together?  

I am pumped to announce I have just completed my first investment acquisition in Charleston, SC.

That being said, although this post is late, I am excited to announce that I have finally "pulled the trigger" on my very first rental property in Northern Illinois (Round Lake) with it being a four unit row home BRRRR!
