How to find buy+hold & development opportunities around Boston?

[Tyler Theuer]

Hi everyone! My name is Tyler, I'm a huge fan of everything BP and this is my first post here on the BP forums.

I've been working for a small real estate developer in Boston for the past 4 months. Our company is only 4 employees but we have a good amount of projects underway considering our size. My job is to help increase our deal flow and find more development projects for my company to take on. We're also looking for BRRR properties to rehab and cash flow, but it's become increasingly difficult with the current interest rates.

My question for other developers + RE investors around the area, how do you go about finding new development opportunities? 

Any help would be appreciated!

@Tyler Theuer I would just ask @Lien Vuong to find one for me (We've financed her clients and they crushed it on the projects she picked for them).  She found great deals in Roxbury on the JP border and Chelsea. 

Personally I had luck starting out picking a market that was one neighborhood over from where the action was - i.e. if you like Eastie, than look at Chelsea or Winthrop with the idea that the values spread out. 

Also there is a lot of permitted land for sale right now, so if you are willing to build ground up and take the time to go through the numbers you should be able to find value. 

If you need bridge/fixnflip or development financing feel free to reach out.
