Hello from Boston!
Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum and wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.
I run a small analytics consulting business in Boston, and develop data science courses for several online education platforms.
I'm interested in real estate investing as a means of diversifying my portfolio and providing additional streams of passive income. The end goal is to minimize reliance on "traditional" working hours, while building equity in long-term properties. I am not (currently) interested in flipping, wholesaling, or investing out of state.
At this point I'm primarily interested in owner-occupied multi-family properties in the Arlington/Belmont area, as well as potential investment opportunities in East Boston/Chelsea.
Please don't hesitate to reach out or introduce yourself if we share some common interests!
-Chris
