Massachusetts and Rhode Island investor group

[Matthew Wolfer]

Hello,

My name is Matt. I'm a 21 year old college student studying finance and economics at UMass Amherst and I'm graduating in May. For more on my background you can check out my LinkedIn page:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewwolfer/

I'm from Lakeville MA and I'm looking to connect with investors in the New Bedford MA, Fall River MA, Taunton MA, Brockton MA areas (Basically the general area south of Boston, MA or north of Providence, RI).

As soon as I graduate my number one priority is going to be transitioning from the W-2 lifestyle to the real estate investor lifestyle. I'm interested in buy and hold investment property strategies and BRRR strategies, particularly in 2-4 unit family houses, and will probably pull off my first deal through a house-hack.

I'm seeking investors from my area because 1) I think it would be very cool to have a circle of local area investors that are all connected with each other and 2) Even a quick phone call or a chat over a cup of coffee with an investor who has actually gone through the process of a few deals would be an awesome opportunity for me.

So, if you're from this area or know someone from this area, then please comment! Even if you're in my shoes and don't have a portfolio of properties yet, I'd love to connect and start to form a local group of like-minded young investors.

Matt, I haven't been to this group personally, but it looks like the South Shore REIA is still active and has an upcoming meeting in Wareham April 5th.

I have personally been to and can recommend both the Black Diamond REI and RI Real Estate Investment Group but they are a bit farther afield than the areas you mentioned - I think the Wareham group is probably closest based on a quick web search.

Good luck and I hope you make some good connections whichever group(s) you attend!
