Mike: Hey, it’s Mike Hambright from FlipNerd.com and we have a quick VIP tip to share with you from Scott Abbey and Shane Sauer who are going to share a tip on how to better understand the neighborhoods that you invest in.

Understanding what those differences are and where those boundaries are is critical in making good decisions.
