Lots of smaller (under 2MW) projects are stalled or curtailed in what has been a real growth oriented business that employed (note: past tense for small players) lots of people.

There are a lot of good people that you can help without resorting to being a social worker.   

The marketplace is very large so there is room for a lot of players.

The first email i got in response to my ad (which has only been up 1 day) was a condo (no specifics...guessing 2/1 by mls listed stuff is the smallest). its a resort condo and the writer just pasted a pic and they don't occupy the condo and want to get rid of it for what they owe... $145k. lowest one for SALE (not cma) is $149k so its not a steal or anything.

I am not much of a rei meeting attendee, but when I do go I find it striking that most of the people their are trying to do the exact thing that you are doing, so in many cases you end up with a room full of networkers, meeting with networkers.One lesson that I would suggest is that when you do go to one, try to identify the key players by talking to other networkers there about what is what.

(in 5 months) The Group that I wrote this posting about is a large development group based out of Kirkland WA that has building projects in resort areas all over the Northwest; Bend OR., Kellogg ID., Roslyn WA., and many more.

Is it a resort area?

Each and every time that I called to request my money returned to my account I was told that it was their fee for me canceling...then I was told that I was still "active" with them (meaning still had service) - I hated to resort to what I did next, but I had to close that bank account and start anew!

Maybe there needs to be a 3rd player or even more.
