Know these guys personally, solid group of guys. Definitely recommend using them.

@Filipe Pereira Thank you! That is very helpful. I'm trying to learn how to run numbers better now. We've connected on BP previously, maybe we can talk sometime soon.

Hello,

I'm a new investor currently living in Springfield, Massachusetts. I want to continue growing a RE network and connect with investors in my area, so I figured I'd reach out on BP. If you live/invest in the Hampden or Hampshire county in MA and would like to connect please do. I am eager to learn what people are doing to succeed in my area and would love to network with more local investors. Also, if anyone knows if there is a way to search through BP so I can find out who might be near me, please let me know. Thank you and stay safe everyone!

@Craig Curelop I appreciate the advice, I'm definitely a fan of the BP books so far. I've gotten through the audio book on Rental Property Investing and am reading managing rental properties. I made it out to Colorado a couple years ago, place is beautiful.  Talk to you soon. Thanks!

@Filipe Pereira Thank you! I absolutely would love to meet up once the pandemic blows over. Would love to see how the house hack is working for you. Talk soon!

@Andrew Syrios I appreciate the warm welcome! Looking forward to getting started!

@Amy Aziz Thank you very much! Will do!

Hello Bigger Pockets community! 

I just wanted to introduce myself as a new BP member and investor. My name is Alex Hiller from Springfield, Massachusetts. I am new to RE investing, but am eager to interact and learn from BP members/investors and help those getting started as I gain more knowledge and experience. I started my real estate investing journey a couple months after I purchased my first house in October 2019, a 3 bed/1 bath ranch as my primary residence. I originally got close to purchasing a duplex with plans to house hack, but that fell through at the last minute on behalf of the seller. I plan to rent this out starting this year or next year at the latest. The property is in a nice neighborhood close to a University with rents that I believe would create a $200-$300 cash flow in the beginning. I hope to find a live and flip off market deal or a multifamily to house hack as my next residence. 

I  have been networking, reading, and listening to as many audio books and podcasts as I can to put myself in a better position to pull the trigger on my first investment property. I have my girlfriend who I live with who is also getting into investing/wholesaling, a partner in place that works in insurance that wants to begin buying investment properties with me, and my father on my team. My father is a former full time real estate agent, but still has his license and helps family and friend purchase houses. I am beginning to do driving for dollars to find potential off market deals that I can buy fix up and rent out, or wholesale to some cash buyers I have networked with.

I graduated with an environmental science degree from Westfield State University and am currently still working my 40 hour a week job as a GIS Analyst mapping out the city's infrastructure. I hope to one day generate enough income from rentals to allow myself a way out of the 9-5 life. I'm also a part time musician, singer songwriter, lead guitarist and vocalist in a band. 

I look forward to getting to know everyone, learning as much as I can, and creating a path to financial freedom. I appreciate the opportunity to do so in a friendly and welcoming environment such as Bigger Pockets. I look forward to talking with you! 

Thank you,

Alex Hiller
