I've got a few observations / questions: WATER: $100/month for water with 4 units seems a little low.

Just thought you might want a fun alternative to achieve your dad's goals.Based on my observations and, having had a sister who lived in California for several years, $450,000 seems would go a lot further elsewhere.

In the fields of observation chance favors only those minds which are prepared."

An additional observation though...I think door to door works well especially when you have that professional attitude emanating from within.

Hi @Matthew Forbes,I have been to 3 of their Boston REIA Meetings, and I have to say I entirely agree with the observation you had.

You will quickly observe the difference in value between property is often in the hundreds of thousands.

I am looking for REIA to join and have come here to listen, learn and observe from you all.
