alright thanks I have saw they had meetings, I haven't attended any yet but I do plan to.

I am completely new to real estate and my experience so far consists of reading  the book Millionaire Real Estate Investor, attending a couple of REIA meetings, and listening to the BP Podcasts (which are absolutely great!).  

Lots of great connections all over but we also have a very strong and active contingent here in MA on here so make sure to find them (Set up some keyword alerts to find out about local topics) and get connected.Besides doing that on here make sure to get out to some of the many local investor events we have.  

This meetup page shows upcoming events!

For these scenarios, unless I am getting a heck of a steal, I make this a task for the seller as a condition of the sale.Got someone on month to month and just want to ease the transition and minimize damage and eviction expense in the event they don't vacant peacefully....I would go in with $500 plus their full deposit back.Naturally, I assume your situation is somewhere in between those scenarios and logically, so would be my answer.

Also, being new myself, I find I have more confidence being able to physically see the property & attend REI meetings in the area I'm interested.I'm sure you're knowledge will come in handy no matter where you go.

I agree but the big sharks move in first and it filters down to the little guy You have to have the expertise and vision to sniff out those neighborhoods that might change early An example was downtown Vegas 5 years ago The ceo of Zappos started buying on Fremont street  years ago and investors quickly moved in when they got wind of it Today is a desirable area with upscale tenants Your expertise is to sniff out these events early and take advantage It is not something t  laugh at but to capitalize on thru farming your area
