Hi BP Forum -My name is James and I am new to the BP website.

Some HOAs have caused property values to decline because of the reputation of the HOA or the rules the HOA enacted (60 watt light bulb???).

I stumbled onto the BP website by accident amidst a Google search.

Craigslist, online, referrals, etc....One last thing this website is nothing short of amazing.

You need to do a Title Search with a reputable company to find out about back taxes and liens.

My name is Tracey Stegemoller and I'm currently in the process (setting up business name, bank account, cpa, business cards, website, etc.) of getting started in the Real Estate Investing/House Flipping business.

I am new to the website but I have lately been reading a lot of the great articles that are posted on here so I decided to become a member.

The markets we are recommending to our investor clients for a balance between cash-flow and appreciation potential are Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Lehigh Acres (FL), and Phoenix (although it is tougher to find those deals there today).You may want to download the 2013 Housing Market Forecast from my website to help you better understand some of the market options available to you.Feel free to post any other questions you have.Continued success!

If you negotiate a deal that will make someone else a strong profit, you will be in good shape.Overall, and especially with your first contracts, don't get greedy with your fees... start smaller until your reputation for finding good deals grows.

I love that.The website will be completed in the next 3-5 weeks.
