I’m grew up in Newburyport and actually lived in Billerica for a bit. It’s awesome that you’re getting back into real estate after some time away. What kind of investing are you looking to jump into now? Any specific strategies you're thinking about—like multifamily, long-term, or short-term rentals? Happy to connect with you.

Thank you for the response River, that's really amazing you lived in Billerica too! I'm hoping to get into long-term rentals with apartment buildings or multi-family properties. I'm working on getting my real estate license right now to get to know the business more in a low risk way. But would love any advice on that if you have it!

Hi Everyone,

I got started in real estate investing about 12 years ago after attending a Rich Dad Poor Dad conference, which sparked my interest. Initially, I pursued wholesaling with the goal of generating income to eventually buy and hold properties. However, after a successful first wholesale deal, I realized wholesaling wasn't the right fit for me and I took a break from real estate to explore other opportunities.

I'm now excited to dive back into real estate investing and am eager to network with other investors and real estate professionals in the area. I'm particularly interested in learning about buying multifamily properties or apartments.

I'd love to hear any advice or encouragement you might have. Specifically, I'm wondering about the best first steps for education and whether getting a real estate license would be beneficial. Also, I’m considering working with a real estate investor, property manager, or an investor-friendly brokerage—do you think that’s a good idea? For new investors, would you recommend focusing on short-term rentals or long-term rentals?

Thank you so much for your time and input!

Best,
Anna

Hi Anna,

At the start of your journey you may be limited by the amount of money and time you want to put into it. The best first step you can take is to connect to a great broker with market knowledge and existing deal flow. Then, find a mortgage broker that hold your hand through the financing options. Pick these two partners carefully.

Once you find a property, hire a professional property manager who can make sure you comply with the laws and get you great tenants so you can build long-term wealth!

Thank you so much Warren, I appreciate your wisdom and will look into finding a great broker near me!

Hi @Anna Tanner, it's awesome that you're getting back into real estate! I'd suggest getting plugged into your local meetups and connecting with successful investors & property managers in the multi-family space. You'll be able to learn what to look for in a great deal & how to be a great landlord.

Thank you so much Jana, I will look into that!
