Welcome, Paul, from about an hour north of you.  

I personally like Richmond, Oakland & San Jose's Berryessa & North Valley area4) Debating whether it is better to buy 1b/1b v/s 2b/2b from an investment standpoint?

Hello, let me jump right in and introduce myself. I am very new to the area of intentional real estate investing. I am trying to absorb as much as I can here at BP and reading a lot. I am also spending time on Zillow ...

I'm in Fargo North dakota.

You should shop around, you have leverage.I have not dealt with BECU, have had good luck with Red Canoe, but they don't go further north than Federal Way.  

I need a referral to a title attorney in Boston or North Shore, Revere, Chelsea, Malden, Melrose, Medford, Saugus, Somerville....any of those areas.

My name is Richard and I am both very new and eager to begin my real estate investing career.

I just helped an investor find a 4 plex in North Kansas City which is a great rental area.

I’d like to utilize this time by acquiring rental property in Wilmington North Carolina ( I currently have a strong trustworthy relationship with a local agent, and my father in law is a general contractor there ).

They rejected the offer because they had offers north of 150k.
