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 live in a house I bought out of foreclosure, and there is ultra-dark purple paint all over the trim.

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...

Particularly in coastal regions? 

Try going to the commercial side of a regional bank in your area and see about a line of credit based on the house as collateral.  

Are there a lot more risks to buying in non-local regions?
