We might even bounce (dead-cat) small for a little bit.The next BIG leg down starts in the fall where $135-140/barrel crude really starts taking it's toll and the wide-spread job losses start occuring coupled with possible reduction in mortgage purchases by the GSE's (freddie & fannie) and the fed bumping rates up a tad to support the weak dollar.

It seems like a great place to learn, share info and knowledge, network and do business.

Show up for the networking session, as those seem to be some of the most productive times at many clubs.

Hi Steve, My wife and I are looking to network with people in the Tulsa area.

But, I recently came across this site, and decided to join in hopes of networking to meet other people in my field, and to get a birds eye perspective of the investing realm from those that do it everyday.

The name of this game is networking.

With an understanding of reasonable offer prices, market comparables, and contracts, as well as a decent (I think) network of investors, do you think it is reasonable to start making offers?

As for finding local landlords, go to the networking page or the main BP page and use the search box at the top to search "Boston" and "Landlord" or any other combination.

I look forward to networking and learning with you all.
