Apsiring RE Investor // Western, MA & Northern, CT

[Jeremy Dugan]

I am a US Air Force and Massachusetts Air National Guard veteran with 20-years of experience as a military Civil Engineer. In previous roles, I was responsible for the asset management, capital improvement, repair, and maintenance of an ANG Fighter Base worth over $400M. I'm an experienced project manager with hundreds of cradle-to-grave efforts under my belt, including building project scopes and budgets, evaluating contract proposals, and managing construction to maintain the delivery of high quality products on-time and in budget.

Penny is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), serving the community mental health needs of parents, children and families.

We both recognize we have an immense opportunity to serve our community and want to capitalize on the blessings we have been provided so that we can continue serving our neighbors.

My wife, Penny, and I are looking to transition into commercial multi-family real estate in 2025. By 2030, we want to have grown a portfolio of over 100 units, created a property management company that manages an additional 100-200 units, and, finally (and most importantly), we will have established a non-profit that is focused on quality, affordable housing that specializes in providing housing and resources at/on the "services cliff" alongside financial counseling and first-time home buyer education in our target area.

Our target area is the Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT areas with dreams to expand to Central Massachusetts (Worcester, MA), Southern New Hampshire (Nashua, NH), and Southern Connecticut (New Haven, CT).

Would love to meet up with likeminded individuals in our area!

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays all!
