Currently I'm using Trulia for my basic research and I visit quite often and do a bit of driving around tiger familiar with the area.I originally was focusing on Malden/ areas closer to Boston but did not think it was realistic to find something in my price range that wouldn't dry out all my funds.My hope is to actually send out letters and try to find a deal that way while also using MLS (currently getting my real estate license for research purposes primarily).With the potential help of a NACA loan, I may be buying sooner than expected (6-9 month range) but I'm still heavy in the understanding the market phase so it's no rush to me.I'd be glad to bounce deal analysis between us / attend open houses as they come along if that's something you're into.
