Hello BP Community! Newbie from Central Massachusetts
Hello BP community! My name is Gary. I'm from Hudson, MA and work in sales as an Account Mgr. at T-Mobile. I'm new to the REI world with a goal of focusing on and investing in buy and hold properties to generate monthly cash flow from rentals while I work full-time. I have been on BP for a few months regularly following forums, attending webinars, and reading REI books (currently reading Brandon Turner's Rental Property Investing). My goal for 2020 is to meet local investors (would love to attend REI local meet ups in Mass), continue to educate myself, and hopefully overcome first-deal jitters and leap into my 1st investment property - multi-family or small apartment buildings. I'm looking forward to absorbing as much information as possible here and connecting with you all!

@Gary Khatcherian - welcome to the club. I too recently joined BP and found it to be a great resource for anything related to creating wealth through real estate. I own 3 SFR's and recently got connected with a group of wholesalers and am trying to buy my first fix and hold property now. I'm reading Brandon Turners book "The Book on Rental Property Investing" right now and bought three other books that I'll move onto next. Absorb as much info as you can from all the investors here and network with as many local investors as you can before jumping into your first deal. Good luck!
