I was referred to this site after a coincidental conversation with a coworker about real estate investments.  

The point of the survey is to collect the data and narrow the field to people interested in have a conversation.

Honestly I'm too new to the investment game to really have a full strategy laid out (still reading, learning and formulating), but I will likely be looking at rental properties outside the city to get started (unless of course I come across a great sponsor unit in a new condo conversion!).

It's a good idea to have Boise and Idaho as keywords so anytime someone posts something you will have an opportunity to join the conversation.

Conversely, we will miss opportunities to cross the street when it is safe and the walk signal is not shown.

Thanks @Mike S. i did had an initial conversation with that team, found their process and recommendations seems overwhelming.
