Hi everyone,

Heard about BP from a friend and have been listening to the podcasts ever since. I am new to the real estate investing world. 26 years old and currently living in Melrose, MA (02176), I am looking to invest in a multi-family home in one of the surrounding neighborhoods. Looking to gain knowledge and resources as I explore new investment avenues thanks to BP and real estate.

Any help or direction would be much appreciated!

Hi David, 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. My favorite is the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham (alternates every other month with their Worcester location, next Waltham meeting is May). There is also the Boston Area REIA in Medford and a few meetings on the North Shore. A few other things in Northeast MA as well as around the city and South as well.
