New (Hopeful) Real Estate Investor

[Christopher Johanson]

Hey BiggerPockets forum members!

My name is Chris Johanson, I'm 21 years old and based in the MetroWest area of MA. I reside currently in Medfield, MA... and am looking to make my first MFH purchase within an 8 month timeline. Looking to connect with local investors in MA.

So far BiggerPockets appears to be the ideal place for questions and self-education on the web, and as such I'm certain I'll find a surplus of information here. I'm hopeful I'll eventually be able to give back to this community that's doing so much for me at present.

Connect with me!

Chris

Hi Christopher, 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.  Not much I am familiar with right near you.  Though fortuitously probably the best meeting is the closest to you, the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham (2nd one in Worcester).  After that there are things in Taunton, Rockland and Medford that are not that far off.  Lots of other stuff getting down to the cape and north of Boston too.
