Part-time Real Estate Investor from Abington, MA

[Wendy Butler]

Hi everyone!  My name is Wendy & I am from Dorchester, Ma but I currently live in Abington, Ma. I bought my first multi- family 16 yrs ago in Brockton, Ma. I currently work full time as a nanny but being a nanny has enabled me to buy not 1 but 2 houses! The second house I bought, was a short sale in Brockton & it was a fix and flip! I worked as a Senior loan officer for 3 yrs just because I was interested in how the banks worked. I  am in love with doing real estate & would love to pursue it full-time!  I'm eager & a fast learner.

Hi Wendy, 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 look into the Eastern Mass REIA in Rockland if you are in Abington. My personal favorite is the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham (alternates every other month with their Worcester location, next Waltham one is May). The Boston Wealth Builders I believe have their regular meetings in Dorchester if you want to go to one in the old stomping grounds. Many other options around the city and both north and south of it.
