Wholesailing in the Boston area
Welcome to BP @VLADIMIR LOPEZ
There are actually a lot of Mass/NH investors on BP. Where are you looking to start wholesaling - MA or NH or Both? There are a number of local networking events that you can attend to meet other investors (AREIA's, Black Diamond, etc.). I'm going to hold my next Unofficial BiggerPockets Boston Networking Event on Dec. 11th. If you're interested in attending, connect with me so you can get on my email list.
In the meantime, read and ask as many questions here on BP.
There is actually a strong contingent of locals here on BP from MA and NH.
Setup your keywords for stuff like MA, NH, Boston and stuff like that and you will see threads talking about topics in the area.
Several locals have done Podcasts here as well. @Ann Bellamy (Episode 9 I believe), @Mike LaCava (Which I think was #24) and yours truly on episode 43 released today:

(Had that link at hand :) )
To meet more locals and get a feel for the markets get out to some of the many good REI meetings we have around here. I don't know the NH ones as much but pretty sure there is good one in Manchester and there is one in Nashua. Getting into MA the NEREIA in Chelmsford is very good and @Mike Hurney has a couple meetings on the North Shore. @Justin Silverio is also doing a quarterly BiggerPockets meetup in Woburn with the next one being in December.
If you want to travel further there are lots of others around Boston and south of the city.
Good luck!
Well I work in automotive sales in Boston and live in New Hampshire so I'm pretty open to any opportunities. What is your website so I can try to make time to join your meeting. What kind of investments are you into?
Not sure why none of the tags worked in my last post.
But I was giving props to @Ann Bellamy , @Mike LaCava , @Mike Hurney and @Justin Silverio
(Though I see he just entered the thread too)
Thank you Shaun Reilly it sounds like you do very well on the Boston area. I will defiantly be looking forward to attending these meetings. Another ?, will I find solid cash buyers that I can get deals for because I'm pretty confident that I will have some motivated sellers lined up.

If you have deals you will not have much trouble selling them.
Way more hungry rehabbers around here then quality Wholesalers to feed them!
Right off I will be interested in anything you are getting in Eastern MA or Southern NH.
@Shaun Reilly I listened to the podcast on my way to work. Great Job!
@VLADIMIR LOPEZ Yes, I'd be very interested in anything in MA too.

Thanks Justin I'm glad you liked it!
Sounds good my man Justin Silverio I look forward too meeting you and Shaun Reilly soon.
Hey @VLADIMIR LOPEZ
Welcome To BP.
I'll have to agree with @Shaun Reilly , if you find a deal, the money will find you. Finding the deal is the toughest part. I've been searching for a deal for a couple of months now, but haven't closed on anything yet. I've put in a few cash offers on some MLS listings, but have been beat out every time. So there's a lot of competition out there.
Hopefully I'll meet you at one of the meeting in the near future.

Don't be discouraged Lou! It can take a long time and a LOT of offers to get going. Listen to the Podcast I just did and you will hear the ridiculous number of offers I had to put in to start getting some deals!
Right on brother!!! Lou Veiga Are you into wholesaling. Maybe we can help each other.
Welcome to BP, Vladimir.
There are lots of MA and NH BPer's. Just set your keywords as Shaun said, and you'll be notified when people post. There are MA deals posted occasionally also.
There are also many local meetings of investors, MA is a very active REI community, and NHREIA.com meets in Manchester. I believe the Nashua meeting has discontinued events, there was no event posted for November.
If you have a true deal, and go to a well attended meeting, you'll have no trouble selling it. You can even sell it easily by posting in the Marketplace here on BP. If it doesn't sell, then you'll know it is probably overpriced. And if you stand up at an event and tell them you are a wholesaler, you'll find plenty of people who want to be notified when you have deal.
Good luck, and I look forward to meeting you at a Black Diamond event.

I havent' been to @Justin Silverio but I am sure you will learn a lot there as Justin is a sucessful and very well informed investor.
@VLADIMIR LOPEZ welcome! I've purchase wholesale but haven't done wholesaling. I recommend finding a local real estate investing club and going to their meetings. Another good option is to get into the databases of Boston wholesale dealers to see how they communicate with their clients and the types of deals they are offering. You can do that buy searching on Craigslist and signing up to their lists with a secondary email account. This will help you position your company so it stands out and is a step ahead of others.
Welcome @vladimir lopez
Great tip Joe as a new wholesaler myself I will certainly try that
