New Member from Boston Massachusetts

[Ashley Owens]

Hey everybody! My name is Ashley Owens and I'm a new member to Bigger Pockets. I'm a Licensed Architect and Real Estate Agent in Massachusetts and I'm working my way into investing part time. I still have a lot to learn, but I've been reading like crazy and listening to as many podcasts as I can get a hold of. So far we've house hacked a condo in Cambridge, purchased a 2-family in Chelsea (we live in 1 unit), and just recently (like yesterday) purchased a single family in Fitchburg that we're going to flip. Also if you can't tell from my profile pic, I'm working on my pilot's license. I'm excited to be part of this amazing community and can't wait to hear from other members!

Thanks for all of the great Welcome's and advice! It's great to have so many people on here!

@Russell Brazil That's great! We plan to come back to Chelsea for our next multi-family, but want to build up our capital and experience a bit more first, but we love living here. Keep me posted on what you have going on and feel free to PM me. We're probably 6 months out from another investment unless we find a partner on something, but I'd love to keep up to date on what you have going on here.

@Corey Melkonian Chelsea is one of the places to be right now that's for sure. I'm hoping it doesn't get too expensive before we can pick up another property or 2 here. PM me if you ever want to meet up or discuss anything Architectural. Thanks for the Welcome!

@Shaun Reilly Thanks Shaun! I'm actually already signed up for the next Black Diamond meetup in Worcester, so I hope to meet a few people there that I've met on the site. If you're going, maybe I'll see you there!

@Matthew Brenner Hey Matthew, happy to see I'm not the only one investing there :)

@David Bellmont Definitely! I'll PM you. I'm always up for meeting new people and my friends who aren't as interested in real estate get tired of hearing me talk so it'd be great to have someone to talk with and bounce ideas off of.

@Charles Marshall Thanks Charles!

@Paul Timmins Thanks for the advice Paul and the book link!

@Dan Marriggi I appreciate the welcome Dan!

@Mike Hurney Yeah I have trouble sitting still :) I'll definitely check out the meetup. Unfortunately I can't make your next one on the 26th. I'm also on the Chelsea Planning Board and that's our monthly meeting night. Hopefully you guys have some other events I'll be able to make or I'll see you at a different meetup. Cheers!
