College Student wanting to start Investing in Lowell, MA.

[Daniel Gurfinkel]

Hey BP,

I'm currently a Junior at UMass Lowell studying Mechanical Engineering and Business, I live in the heart of the city in downtown Lowell.

I see major opportunity in investing in Lowell due to the cities growth these past couple years.

I have my RE license and have worked doing Apartment Rentals in Boston for 1 month this summer.

I am currently trying to find work for a brokerage and had a couple interviews to find a position that would educate me about the Lowell market and investing in it.

I'm wondering is there anyone here from Lowell that got any tips for me, stories, groups, connections, knowledge, etc.

I read books about investing/real estate/business and try and educate myself about the subject whenever i have time but i am hungry to work and find a deal.

I just started looking around for a deal now to bring to an investor, any suggestions for platforms for finding deals? There are not too many places for sale in Lowell that are appealing on YGL, trulia, and loopnet, where do you guys look?

My goal by the time I graduate is to own 1 investment property and have a couple of deals under my belt.

Thanks!
