Welcome aboard!  I think you will find this group as well as the RIREIG to be a great resource!  

Woonsocket is a good buy and hold town.  It has very high standards for flips (they make you bring almost everything up to code every time even if it's not something you are going to be touching)  but the rents are reasonable and it is often said that if you provide a washer and dryer (even coin op) you will have tennants for life.  I rarely see flip opportunities but you can usually make buy and hold work for some of the units that come on the market.  the rest that move I think are folks that are house hacking as owner occupied units.  

Welcome aboard!  BP is a great resource.  

I'm working with a few brand new investors right now.  I'm happy to give you some perspective from an agent investors point of view that sees and talks to a lot of new investors.

Reciprocity is easy.  Pm me and I can send you the info.  Or just go to the RI DBR website and download the packet.  You will only be able to get reciprocity if your broker is licensed in both states.  If they are not you will need to reaffiliate.

Welcome aboard! There is a great ammount of info here on BP and the RIREIG meetings are always very informative.  

Jimmy Coffin, with Better Living Real Estate.  Pm me for his contact info we can't post emails or phone numbers I  this forum.

Let him know I sent you.  He has a ton of experience and knows that area very well.

Investment deals without agency are done under my entity name. Either myself or partner act as signator Investment deals needing representation are done under my license (as an agent) and with my partner signing for our investment company.  I am paid at a different (higher) split for my own investments vs regular "retail" real Estate transactions with my brokerage.

I have found the training my brokerage has given me and the access to other agents to have candid discussions with to be of tremendous value to me in my investment career.  It hashould answered so many of my questions  (both good and bad) about how agents work and what probably really happened to deals I worked on that blew up before I had my license.  

Nicole, I'm in Medway and do both with my Brokerage.  Better Living is a mobile technology driven brokerage and has been flexible and has understanding with my work as an investor agent.  They provide me with all the support I have needed and leave me alone when I'm my deals morph into investment transactions.  I would be happy to grab a coffee and talk about my experiences, and you can check out the Join site for Better Living by Google (don't want to spam this list with a link filled ad for my brokerage)
