You ought to study publicity by subscribing to Paul Hartunian's newsletter and learn how to  create a good ores release and strong bio and get future interviews to position yourself as the regional expert.Don't let up now!

Springfield, and Western MA has a bright future ahead with many talented investors looking to turn this city and region into a better place! 

I would like to speak to people who are local to the Ohio and Florida Region who come from various working backgrounds so its easier to network with one another.

I just can't get my head around ever purchasing something so useless.As a side note, everything in my general area is expensive due to high property taxes and regional demand (with Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and the Lebanon & White River Junction crossroads).  

Does anyone has investment insights for Seattle region?

I see them all the time in the deals I fund.. its a regional thingyour not going to buy much RE in Santa Rosa with 100 bucks as a deposit.I was just down to KSTS  2 weeks ago its really grown. .went to Healdsburg for lunch then landed at Healdsburg airport for cheap AV gas...
