After coming from the Birmingham, AL market, I've learned that I really like to have a tight network of local investors who help shape how we're looking at properties. 

If it is due to the company either pulling out of the market or changing their guidelines that is best because it is not anything specific to your property. 

One of the biggest limitations I am seeing in the fix and flip market, at least in Colorado, is the requirement of a registered contractor to be on the permit for a rehab project.

Given that investing is often more about time in the market than timing the market, it’s imperative that our youth learn these foundations early.

All of those markets have been good to me as well.

I assume you know the market well if you're from Newark but again I'll ask, why?

I've moved up to Tahoe and now in the Reno Tahoe, Nevada market.

Does anyone have a trusty renovation/construction estimate calculator or guide they use for our market? 

It seems like you are digging deeper into SEO marketing and I can't blame you.
