Some other good ones that are pretty easy would be the Black Diamond meetings, which Ann is one of the co-hosts of, in both Worcester and Waltham (Believe next meetings are the 20th and 27th respectively).

We plan to make it out to the Waltham Black Diamond REI meeting next Tuesday and look forward to meeting some of the BP community!

My favorite is the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham (alternates every other month with their Worcester location, next Waltham meeting is May).

The property really is mainly cosmetic upgrades to this point (knock on wood).Finally to my question: To be considered "higher end" do the appraisers typically take into consideration appliances (i.e. stainless steel vs black or white appliances)?

More towards Boston you should look at the Boston Area REIA in Medford and definitely check out the Black Diamond meeting in Worcester.  

Her black box equity is a pig in a poke at this point as you do not know about potential creditor claims that could eat away at this part.

You definitely should go to the Black Diamond meeting in Worcester next Tuesday (2nd location the next week in Waltham).  

I'd also recommend going to the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham (2nd meeting in Worcester) as well.  

It is not a black and white issue regardless of how inconvenient that makes it.

Basically I am looking for someone who's successful in wholesaling in the Philadelphia area and is willing to pass down some knowledge and technique to a young black man who's willing to give whatever it takes to be successful.....PERIODI've watched webinars, read literature, and also I've been following Mark Whitten's tips & Jay "MrRealEstate" Morrison's online courses.
