Revaluations are a mass appraisal process that the state mandates the towns to perform to bring their property values up to market value.

Welcome Kenneth..I'm in Mass..

Hi Rosa,Welcome to BP.There is a pretty active contingent of people from Mass here so you should be able to get lots of good local help.

Blackstone and other funds that brought discounted SFHs' en mass is one thing; Chinese 'buying up' Detroit is entirely different. 1- is that really true?

Would I need to put together a packet of some kind to submit as a mass mailer to development firms?

BP- I am a commercial real estate broker in Eastern mass.

I went to the Mass Academy of Real Estate also, and it was well worth it.

I've no need to tell you how mass the wealth of knowledge is here nor how great the people are since you've lurked for quite some time.

The problem is that when the herd of speculative buyers turn into mass sellers - there will not be a large enough pool of qualified buyers to absorb the inventory which will lead to a sharp reversion in prices.

As sort of an expansion of the original question, is there a critical mass of possible contacts below which a direct mail campaign doesn't really work?
