Hello BP Nation!

Do they tend to be local, regional, or national?  

Just go start a bank account with a national bank.

As a side note, I had a contractor who was very decently priced with a lot of experience look at replacing an HVAC unit but he kept calling me sweetie and honey and told me that if I got a better quote I just had to call him and "rant and rave like all women do" to get a better quote from him.  

Both areas have changed (and appreciated) a ton.I think both areas still have a way to go with some of the big changes going on at 41st and Fox (new light rail), Globeville and National Western Complex.Hopefully these links come across if you're interested in details:http://www.denvergov.org/Portals/193/documents/38t... and Fox Station Area Plan_11_4_09.pdf http://www.denvergov.org/Portals/728/documents/NDC... http://www.denvergov.org/Portals/646/documents/pla...

National companies often have broad policies that may not actually comply with local laws.  

My local meeting base will be InvestClub for Women in Orange County CA. 

According to NAR, the Houston MSA still posted a 7.9% appreciation in median home prices, and unemployment rate had been lower than the national average leading up to the O&G slowdown. 

"those with ... children etc... single mothers... nationalities... immigrants.... " Wow.

I'd rather pay for some hours of an attorney's time now, rather than get into anything remotely illegal (without knowledge, of course) later on & pay a much higher price.Thanks - BP nation!
