Newbie introduction from Boston!

[Bryan Clewley]

Good evening BP folks,

I am fresh to this forum and podcasts, on the tails of recommendations from some friends who invest in RE now. I am excited to see such a comprehensive and supportive network and forum as BP; with stellar content to boot. As I'm early in my REI career, I look forward to listening, and learning from you all.

My (developing) goals are based in creating wealth and financial independence for myself and my future family through multi-family rental properties and any other strategies I encounter that my skill set align with, in the New England area. My fiancée and I are current owners of a condo in the metro-Boston area. 

Being a professional in the field, I'm an avid enthusiast of sustainability, clean energy, clean technology - and by extension: cost savings. I also enjoy cooking, reading, live music, fitness, international travel and learning. 

Looking forward to connecting.

Best,

Bryan

Welcome, Bryan.  I second Enis' recommendation about the meetups.  They're a great resource and source of ideas.  When it comes time to rent, Charlie's landlord-tenant education recommendations are also worth checking out.

If you're in the immediate Boston area, I'm a fan of rental markets just beyond the city's gravity.  Pick a few of the smaller cities, research their markets, and run some numbers as practice.
