However, I would definitely try to determine what the "Center of Mass" of employment is.

@Ola Dantis I guess just to please the masses I should have put “ how to better my chances of getting a loan being self employed with savings” thank you ola I’m always winning even when I’m losing, lessons are learned through failure.

Instead, they are looking for more affordable second-tier cities that have exciting job opportunities (startups, tech, etc.) and also a critical mass of other like-minded young people.

Real estate investing is a new muscle you simply have to grow!

Fair enough, but I think you prove my point that capital to close consistent deals is a key ingredient for building any mass marketing tool.

Easier than MS Word.Just as an FYI, you probably won't see a mass number of people hit your site everyday.  

SO: I'm near both Boston, Mass AND Albany, NY (essentially right in between the two) so If any of you locals know of someone, or you yourself are a successful real estate investor and could talk to my wife and I together about Real Estate investing I would love to do so.

Also if anyone can give any other alternatives to marketing to mass people.Thanks,Lawrence

(Sense of urgency not unlike an After Thanksgiving sale rush to the doors)When the masses realize we are at the bottom. competition will drive the prices up, multiple offers will happen, and it decreases your negotiating position.Right now you can offer away........I am seeing investors moving slowly and methodically in this market, and they are buying up much of the inventory that people think is going to be there at the bottom.
