First time New England investor

[Tim Giddings]

Hi everyone,

I am fresh out of college and new to the investing scene. looking for some advice on where to start. A bit of background on my situation, I am currently working a W-2 job at an engineering firm and have been pre approved for a $525K FHA loan for a triplex or $475K for a duplex. I am currently shopping around for options and to learn more about the various markets around me. I am living in Worcester currently but have also been looking in Southbridge, Webster, Boston, Woonsocket, Providence, Springfield, and Hartford. I am not set on any particular investment strategy but feel like I would be most interested in some sort of value add situation as I know a bit about construction and would love to put in some sweat equity. Thanks. -Tim
