All in all, "people" haven't changed over the decades, just the technology around us. 

Hopefully that is changing as our market changes from a manufacturing powerhouse to service and technology. 

Too many investors get pulled down the technology rabbit hole, and it's not their business.At least for buying the domain, I find Namecheap to have great services and prices.

Technology allows us to collaborate with clients all over the US (and world) - for instance, I'm originally from NC, currently live in DC but have several clients throughout NC - the only thing I can't do is shake their hands.

It's amazing how powerful a tool technology can be.Here is a summary of the top results (I generated the links with the script so that they link to homes for sale on Zillow in that neighborhood):Region - City - State - Median Price - Median Rent - Gross Yield - LinkNewhallville - New Haven - CT - $100,600 - $1,494 - 17.82% - Current ListingsCadwalader & Hillcrest - Trenton - NJ - $107,200 - $1,498 - 16.77% - Current ListingsDowntown - Trenton - NJ - $109,200 - $1,490 - 16.37% - Current ListingsLauderdale Manors - Fort Lauderdale - FL - $109,100 - $1,469 - 16.16% - Current ListingsCedonia - Baltimore - MD - $107,300 - $1,436 - 16.06% - Current ListingsRock Island - Fort Lauderdale - FL - $115,000 - $1,533 - 16% - Current ListingsBayou Oaks - Sarasota - FL - $103,800 - $1,340 - 15.49% - Current ListingsEast Arlington - Baltimore - MD - $104,300 - $1,342 - 15.44% - Current ListingsFair Haven - New Haven - CT - $116,500 - $1,485 - 15.3% - Current ListingsThough the formatting doesn't look so great, the data shows some pretty cool stuff!

Also, elderly tenants are not adaptable to new technologies.  

loveland technologies, they are pretty good, and its free.You can also look up information on the city of detroit property tax information site. 

We utilize various forms of technology to collaborate seamlessly with our clients and rarely have issues.If you are set on using someone local, search the BP forums for investors local to you and reach out to ask for a referral.

People get worked up about all of this social media stuff.Find a social media platform that has a (target rich) environment.Meaning if you want to connect with real estate investors going on a food board by sheer numbers you may run across one but will not be connecting over and over with similar interest like a real estate board.Years ago I belonged to a CRM that had technology where it went out to 40 social media sites with a click of a button.

Hello fellow investors;I would like to hear about the technology, tools and social media you use and how they help with your business/work.
