@Duncan Taylor Unfortunately, I guarantee if we really go hard into this debate, it will get encouraged by the moderators to be moved elsewhere because it will be a huge distraction from the original post.

That way you can get positive encouragement on your investing.

Thanks for the advise and encouragement.

We also had newly minted BP member, @Josh McNicoll, (Yes, we encourage all our MeetUp members to join the BP Community) talking about his experiences in Kansas City, Missouri, and his strategy for vetting properties, getting them inspected, getting pictures taken of them, and working on deals, all from the comforts of his home, 6,500 miles away in Seoul.Overall, we felt it was a great success.

I'm sure everyone is pretty helpful and will encourage questions but definitely make sure you check out the search feature, past discussions, blogs, and podcasts.

It's encouraged. 

Thank you Blaire for the encouragement!

Hey George, that's encouraging to hear there are still deals in the mid city area.

As a BiggerPockets staff member, I encourage you to do your own research on anything you read from one of the posters on this forum.  

This is so encouraging!
