Local trade and NAR (national association of realtors) magazines are wonderful as well to help keep you up on your city. 

Home values are less in my market than the national average (median $115k), and there are some positive economic indicators for the area.

I know of many areas in the nation that at one time cash flowed that the properties are now virtually worthless and cannot be rented.  

This being a MF it was a bit more challenging and less lenders are willing to do it.I also tried to get a second mortgage to free up some cash about a year ago but no national lender would approve me.  

There's also several of us women on BP that are contractors, remodelers, etc.

I'm inclined to think it probably isn't legal, but has anyone thought of using mailmen/women for wholesaling leads?

Didn't the National Association of Realtor say Sacramento was the 4th Hottest Market in the US?

Men lie women lie, but numbers do not!

I will be attending a REI Club for women in Irvine; however, as many man attend there as women. 

Since we have such a great infrastructure system our better cash following rental markets are more out in the suburbs.If you are looking for a good 10,000-foot view of the city I do a market update for the only national reia sponsored reia in the city.
