Hi all!

Sean from Westford MA here.  

Long time interest in investing in real property and finally ready to pull the trigger.  I am experienced in FX, Derivatives, and the likes but have never held property as investment.  

I look forward to meeting people with similar interests!

I currently work in the Software business as a Sales Executive and would love the chance to leave it to see my kids grow up 7 days a week!

Thanks for reading and have a good one!!!

Hi Sean, welcome to BP.

This is a great place to learn. Make sure to listen to all the BP podcasts, read the articles on the main blog and be active in these forums to learn a ton very quickly about any topic in real estate you want to know more about.

This is also a great place to meet people that can be assets to your business. Lots of great connections all over but we also have a very strong and active contingent here in MA on here so make sure to find them (Set up some keyword alerts to find out about local topics) and get connected.

Besides doing that on here make sure to get out to some of the many local investor events we have.  You should definitely check out the NEREIA in Chelmsford.  It happens to be coming up this Wednesday the 5th at the Best Western, good group and certainly the closest for you.  I would also recommend the Black Diamond event in Waltham (2nd meeting in Worcester) and @Justin Silverio 's quarterly meetup in Woburn (coming up in Dec). Besides those there are a couple meetings on the North Shore, The Boston Area REIA in Medford, the NHREIA in Manchester and many options South of Boston as well.
