New investor needing some help buying first property.

[Jacqueline Lee]

Hello everyone,

My name is Jacqueline and I am new to the space. I am currently looking to find my first Fix and Flip property (or possibly a Brrrrs.) I am located in the Gardner area of Massachusetts and would like to learn the markets out here and surrounding towns all along route 2 to build my portfolio. I am currently trying to gather as much information and resources as possible to fully understand what I need to do A-Z to find and buy a distressed property, and get the best ROI. I am hoping to build the best possible team of Lenders,agents,contractors etc for this endeavor and create long lasting relationships so we can all continually be prosperous. I believe that if you're the smartest one in the room, you're in the wrong room which is why I am seeking help from more vetted professionals in this space. I love learning and have an immense amount of room to grow and any help is greatly appreciated.

If anyone is willing to help me on my journey, you are more than welcome to reach out!

Thanks for your time 🙏

Hello @Jacqueline Lee and @James Brown!

Welcome to the site! I'm new on BiggerPockets but I've been a Realtor for the last 8 years in MA and a property investor. I've been experienced in both searching/negotiating for investment properties and just recently sold one of mine down in East Falmouth, MA on the Cape this past year which was a vacation rental. I have another that we are renovating down in Tamarac, FL.

If either of you are looking for help either formally or informally, I'd be more than happy to connect with you and we can chat about it more. I love talking real estate investment and I'm really happy I've gotten into this business so whatever I can do to help I will!
