Getting into REI in MA
Hello everyone, I have been snooping around BP for a while now and realized that I haven't introduced myself, for which I solemnly apologize.
I am 26 years old and have been in the building industry, from design to construction, for 8 years. I am currently working in a structural engineering firm in South Boston.
I don't have the assets of my own to play with right now (young growing family and all that) so my slowly evolving business plan is to start with flipping to raise short term capital to be able to get into an owner occupied multi-family and then to develop a rental portfolio.
To be honest there is a degree of fear that goes into diving into something as big as this and I appreciate all the information that is available right here on BP. Now the challenge is not to have analaysis paralysis but to jump in and act.
Thank you all for all the input that you give, its a huge help to us newbies!
