Fairly new here - Just saying hey!

[Jacob A.]

Hi all, I'm fairly new here, although I've lurked on the site for a while.  I've recently become addicted to the Podcasts and listen to about 2 a day. I'll be caught up in no time! Just wanted to formally introduce myself and per suggestion of the Podcasts - would like to get more involved in the forums. I'm from the SouthCoast area of Massachusetts and I'm interested in multi-family investment properties, and potential flip opportunities mainly in the greater New Bedford/Fall River area. I've been a landlord for approximately 15 years. Purchased my first triple decker from a family member when I was 21, then 5-6 years later I purchased a 6 family. Bought the 6 family at a bad time (early 2007), paid too much, and it needed too much, but somehow it seemed like a good idea at the time! I made a lot of mistakes but learned a ton. I was able to hang onto the 6 family, put a little work into it and just recently sold it back in November. I also sold that 1st triple decker this past January and did a 1031 exchange into a bigger/better/nicer neighborhood triple decker. So, I'm still a small time landlord/investor with only 1 rental property right now, but looking to expand, armed with the info of BP, and my 15 years of knowledge/experience. So....hi everyone!
