Mike from New Bedford, MA

[Michael Couto]

Hi Everyone! My name is Mike and I live in New Bedford, MA. I've been lurking the forums for a little while but have decided it's time to jump in and introduce myself. I'm currently working on my second deal but am still a newbie and trying to absorb as much information as possible.  My main area of focus is buy and hold of small multifamily properties around the area which I live. 

My first deal was a REO duplex that I picked up back in 2013. I completely gutted and renovated this property doing most of the work myself and am still house hacking this property today.I also currently have a great three family deal under contract that I obtained through direct mail marketing after researching strategies through BP. The house in good condition overall but will need some minor rehab. I was able to raise private funding and plan on implementing the BRRRR strategy for this property.

In the meantime, I figured it would be could to connect with other investors and to help share my early on progress with anyone else starting out.
