Shalom @Adi Dahan - Welcome to BP, always nice to see a fellow Israeli.I have found BP to be an invaluable resource regarding my US Investments.If you are interested in Indianapolis, you might want to reach out to @Sterling White- They have an interesting crowdfunding model which can give you a piece of a 10 property performing portfolio - greatly reducing your risk and headache.All the best.

I'm working to piece together some deals in the Houston market at the moment, I'd be thrilled to connect with you.

That way you're not piecing information together from blogs on "How To"

@Jonathan Orr    In Oregon and Washington  we have pre app conferences they are mandatory.you show up with your planner and engineer a basic design.. and staff is there many times with members of each department that you will need to deal with..they then start talking about things your consultants will need to do to process your project.Its been years since I did one I CA.. however I suspect there maybe a similar process.I have a piece of dirt in Rohnert park that I have owned for 25 years its finally got brought into the city and the city is done with their specific plan..

They will call me if the fence looks like it is leaning, or if the sprinkler heads come loose or if the air flow on the a/c feels like it is more in one room and less in another or if a piece of weather stripping is loosening up on the back door.

Numerous think pieces are written about them, lots of media attention is focused on them, and prices invariably rise.

It is common for mail houses to offer both mailing lists as well as the actual mail pieces.

Direct mail tends to work best when you send a campaign of 5-7 different pieces, 4 weeks apart from each other.

I have been talking to a company about putting a cell tower on a piece of land i own in KY.

My mail piece is partially intended to be a flyer for the new home as well.
