Bigger Pockets is a great place not only to listen to podcasts but a great sounding board to bounce ideas in forums and get great, useful feedback. 

They bounce back and forth between Worcester and Waltham every other month.

So, I figured I’d bounce some ideas off my fellow BP-ers to make sure I’m not either missing a solution--or about to jump in over my head with anything.

Outside those areas its either really nice neighborhoods like Lafayette where its mostly nice houses on 1+ acres or areas that are still waiting to bounce back like Vernon or Sussex where its saturated with foreclosures. 

Another thing with mail would be bounced personal checks.Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to be difficult, I am trying to understand how to build my business.

Texas to me has always been more of a horizontal market with not a lot of movement either way.. although in the last few years prices I moved up some... but not like other hot markets were prices are more volatile ... during the GFC  Texas kind of held its own.I now folks would be selling Texas and I was investing in Atlanta at the time.. were prices were crushed in many areas up to 80%.. they bounced back same home I could have bought in Texas never really moved much..

Number of houses for rent on the market plummet fast till the Jan bounce, then it freezes over in Feb, and we take off in March.

Do not hesitate, to post questions and bounce ideas around in applicable forums.

They give you access to this office space to meet with fellow or potential members, and there is always one of the leaders there to bounce ideas, run numbers, etc. 

They did a stop payment on one month's payment, and their check bounced for another month's payment.
