im an investor in ma...i currently have 14 units (on Monday it will be 17) lynn ma, a low income city north of boston...you are right there are great cash flowing properties out there right now in low income areas...there is also a ton of competition for those properties...i would not be afraid of investing just bc we live in a liberal state, dont let that stop you from being successful in this real estate market, it just might be the best chance of our lives...just take extra precautions to make sure your units are well kept, well lit, clean and safe, make sure you respond to the little things when tenants call w/ complaints...i have had a few evictions and they took a few months, most of the time these tenants never show for court...i try and show my face around my units at least a few times a week, and drive by almost daily...just dont be a slumlord and have pride in your properties even if your tenants dont...good luck

It will take a much larger volume of deals to move to closing but pay off long term WHEN a market depresses and you have lots of wiggle room before any losses are incurred.

As always Josh you know I like BP and look forward to my multiple daily logons to see what is going on, but in my opinion the Newletter is just kind of there when I look at it.There seems to be a lot of information that is just kind of put on the newsletter with no real format to make the newsletter appealing.

Jimmy your welcome.Bpo agents come in many levels.If you have a newbie completing one they might look at your comps and your repair list.Seasoned bpo brokers/agents complete sometimes 200 or more bpo's a month and barely have time to breathe.They have a mill telling them get the report back in 48 hours or we will start reducing your volume.The last thing they want is to have to chase down an investor to gain access trying to influence them so they can make a measly 50 bucks and get on to the next orders.If they can't get access they often tell the mill to re-assign which causes the bpo to take weeks to get back.For the bpo broker/agent it's about how fast can I get out there and take pics and upload to the office.I still do a few a month but stopped doing the volume years ago.Used to in the hot sales market I would get 130 to do a rush 24hr exterior.
