Hi @Paul StPierre, I invest in the Western Mass area and would love to hear about your progress on this endeavor. I don't have any solutions for you, but can refer you to some great real estate attorneys if needed. -Bob

Looking for quality WHOLESALERS with deals in Western Massachusetts (and Northern CT). Buying criteria:

- Good neighborhoods/school districts in Hampden County and Hampshire County, MA (No Springfield except 16 Acres)

- 1950+ construction (will consider down to 1930's)

- Single family residence (Cape, Ranch and Colonial's preferred)

- No busy streets (no double yellow streets)

- In CT (Simsbury, Suffied, S. Windsor, Windsor, Bloomfield, Enfield, Somers, Ellington)

- Purchase price near 50% ARV (after repair value). Majority of our buys are between $75-150k and ARV's of $150-300k

We are CASH buyers and will close within two weeks. Call Bob at 413-314-3583 or email [email protected]

Hi @Navya Rajput,

Smart move getting out to the REIA's. Best place to network and learn. In your area definitely check out the Black Diamond meetings. If you find yourself looking to invest in Western Mass come visit us at the WMASS REIA. Good luck!!

Hi Kyle,

Best of luck on killing it for 2016!! I have found my best RE agents that are investor friendly are REO, Short sale specialists, and those that attend the local REIA. We are doing the same as you and networking like crazy to uncover these guys in Western Mass. -Bob

Western Mass has good cash flow in and around Springfield. There are many areas of Springfield to stay clear of though. PM me if you are interested in seeing some examples. We also wholesaled a house in Worcestor to an investor and they did great as a rental.

Hi @Robert Cook, I agree with @Xavier C. that you should check out the local REIA's. Look up @Ann Bellamy and @Mike Hurney they put on great REIA's in central and eastern Mass. We have on in Springfield if ever interested. You can sign up at the links in my signature. Good luck!!
