Hello from MA, "power team" needed :-)

[Shanti S.]

Hello all, I've been reading the forum for a while and decided to sign up today.

I'm from beautiful Western MA and travel all over New England - a full time Analyst for a major utility by day and a REI student by night :-)

So far I have been to a bunch of REIA meetings and have been making offers on various properties. One is currently accepted but is foreclosed and still has a tenant from hell squatting in it, he won't allow anyone in the property's first two floors and wants $7k cash for keys and a showing haha

Anyway, I have a couple of cash partners lined up and my goal is to purchase multi families with decent cash flow at closing, make wise improvements, and gradually trade up in size via flips or 1031's into some very large properties which will support us full-time when we get there.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone local who wants to talk about the market, strategies, possible partnerships, or maybe even share some good references for investor savvy accountants, attorneys, contractors, managers, etc. Also maybe sharing educational materials.

Wishing everyone a happy, safe, and prosperous 4th !

Shanti
