Boston - Buy and Hold, New Construction, Flipping,

[Neil Gulden]

BP, I am a part time real estate investor with my full time job being in medical device sales. My full time job is what allows me to afford investing, but my end game is buy and hold multi families to provide myself passive income "get out of the rat race." Passive income is the main reason I got in to this game. My experience so far: I bought my first investment property in 2008, a two family in Medford, MA, which I lived in and rented out the other side. Since then, I've purchased a condo in South Boston, a 3 family in Dorchester, MA, and my most exciting purchase to date, a single family home on a large lot that I plan to develop into two town homes. I'm going through the zoning process as we speak. I've been listening to the podcasts almost daily for a little over a year and have been educating myself on REI much more than I ever have before. You could say that I've become obsessed. However, I haven't done the best job at reading the forums or really diving into the web site. This has all recently changed in the last couple months and I wish I began sooner because I've learned a ton. My goal here is to network with other investors and wholesalers, learn from success stories and/or failures, hear about what other people are doing to find deals in expensive markets like mine (Boston), and hopefully I can help others out as well. Looking forward to connecting with more investors who share the same goals and investing interests as me. -Neil
