I am new to the website but I have lately been reading a lot of the great articles that are posted on here so I decided to become a member.

The markets we are recommending to our investor clients for a balance between cash-flow and appreciation potential are Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Lehigh Acres (FL), and Phoenix (although it is tougher to find those deals there today).You may want to download the 2013 Housing Market Forecast from my website to help you better understand some of the market options available to you.Feel free to post any other questions you have.Continued success!

I love that.The website will be completed in the next 3-5 weeks.

Has anyone used this website?

The spotcrime website seems to be a good one too.I wonder if there are any good places to identify trends over time:- quality of schools - improving or declining?

One quick addition from their official website that shows why they may be more accurate than other "estimate sites"."

Here is an example taken right off the San Diego Tax Collectors website.

1) I have my Google Voice number forwarding to a cellphone I bought2) I have (50) bandit signs with that number on it3) I have an answering service4) I used the Google Voice number on my BiggerPockets account, a Classified Ad, a Wufoo form for bird dogs to submit a house, and my website.......So, when you Google search the phone number... it basically pops up with my information online.I deleted each form that had the number, but it still is available in the search.I'm waiting to see if it wipes over the next couple of days.Here's my question:Should I change my number so that it has no ties back to me?

to find telephone numbers I usually find http://people.switchboard.com, any other websites you recommend?

I'm new to real estate and to Biggerpockets but excited that I have the support of the professionals and information on this website.
