Newbie from Shrewsbury MA

[Alan Lambkin]

Hello all,

My name is Alan and I live in Shrewsbury MA. Tax-achusetts as we call it here. Other than my current home, which was also my first purchase, I am relatively new to the real estate world. In June of 2014 I jumped feet first into my first dealings with investment properties by purchasing a 3-family in Worcester Ma. Essentially it was a cheap-ish purchase with decent rental incomes. 

So far so good. I did have one eviction but the property management team has been dealing with all that fun. I have done a fair bit of research but looking to learn as much as possible from BP. My goal is to build my portfolio over time and ultimately I just want some stable income to support my ever growing family and if all works out, maybe I can pull off an early retirement. 

Thanks!

-Alan

Hi Alan,

     I think we're neighbors.  You must have the place at 25 Cambridge Street.  I watched them install a new roof on that house this summer.  I own the 4 family at the end of Nixon Ave (no 11) at the field.  Nixon Ave begins almost opposite your house.

     If you see a white van with Red Oak Renovations on the side, that means my son and possibly me are at the house working on it.  You're welcome to come down and see the property.  We can exchange a few pointers on plumbers, roofers, electricians, city inspectors.

     Breens Cafe at Nixon/Cambridge is a great place for a burger, by the way.

     Welcome to the neighborhood
