Hungry and Motivated in Massachusetts

[Jimmy Seaborg]

Hello BP!!!

I am very excited to finally come out and introduce myself here. After lurking in the shadows over the summer reading books, analyzing deals and listening to all of the podcasts, I am ready to dive in. My goal is to fix and flip in Middlesex County this fall/winter- Framingham, Natick, Hudson, Maynard, Marlborough, Wayland, etc. are all towns that I am interested in.

A bit about me: I purchased our home in Wayland in 2007. Since then (has it really been 10 years?) my amazing (and super patient!) wife and I have completely gutted and renovated the entire thing. We transformed a typical 1950's split level ranch into what we like to call a 'Farmhouse Cottage'. It looks awesome! Along the way we learned an incredible amount about all aspects of construction, dealing with subs, and general home improvement. I liked working on our house so much that in 2011 I made a career change into the world of home performance, and since then I have conducted over 3,500 residential energy inspections in the metro Boston area. 

I am looking to connect with investors, agents, and wholesalers in order to find a single family deal in Middlesex County. My first question to BP Nation - does it make sense for me to pull a line of credit on our primary to help fund the first deal? I am very disciplined with money, have excellent credit, and we have established significant equity here as a result of our renovation efforts. HELOC rates seem attractive.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this. I look forward to engaging with many of you! If anyone in the Boston area needs help using the Mass Save program for their personal or investment properties please let me know and I would be happy to help you out. There are incredible rebates and incentives available and I can help you navigate the process as it is not always straight forward. 

Onwards!

Jimmy
