Looking for a Foundation

Chris Wiseman
  • Boston, MA
Posted

Hello Everyone,

My name is Chris and I have been bit by the REI bug.

I am located outside of Boston, MA and am looking to build a solid foundation for becoming a real estate investor.

Interested in long term rentals (unless the time calls to sell) outside of Boston, preferably.

Have done a bit of research on condos, single families and multi families.

Goal is to buy cheaper properties that need a little bit of work and then put them up for rent to collect the little bit of cash flow.

More recently I have had my eye on New Bedford, MA, although I am not sure the future looks too bright for that town, as it has remained unchanged for many years.

I think I just like the number of cheaper multi family homes that are available right now.


Looking forward to hearing from you all.


Chris

Welcome @Chris Wiseman! We’ve all been bit by the real estate bug! I don’t know much about New Bedford but I know an investor focused on that area that I could introduce you to. His name is Matt Daylor and he owns a few multis in Fall River.

Me and my investor focused team operate in Boston and North of Boston. Some other “cheaper markets” to checkout might be Fitchburg, Gardner, and the surrounding areas. We’ve been investing more out there ourselves as prices towards the city keep rising. 

I hope this helps and if you haven’t already done so start checking out meetups. We host a few ourselves but there are many great ones in the area. Check out the events tab, I hope to meet you in person at some point.

Best,

Jon
