 Thanks, Hubert! Awesome answer. I am an avid reader and will look into those. Great thread by the way. Good luck on getting started. This can be a very stressful career path but rewarding in the end.

Hi BP,

I have an open-ended question here. I've been saving capital to purchase my first multi-family property but just realized that while I would like to start my property portfolio that I am in no rush. I have sat on the idea of building it with multi-families but recently thought to myself, "why not just wait a little longer and save a bit more and go for the bigger fish?" Is this reasonable? I'm only 23 and think that scalability would be a huge draw for me. In theory, if I could buy a multi this year or next year that'd be great but wouldn't the idea of pushing off buying for 3 years to save up for a complex be more sound and scalable? Thoughts? What would you do?

I have what may be a rhetorical question. When sending letters in the mail, let's say 1,000. Are you literally handwriting every return address and send to address on every letter?

Hi BP,

After searching online for two distressed properties that I've found, a good guy @Ray Hurteau ,recommended White Pages to me. After signing up for a free trial (apparently $30/mo after) I found a few numbers and addresses which I will be utilizing tomorrow. Do any of you use white pages actively? Is it worth the $30/mo?

For both of these properties I was considering opening the call by telling them I was driving and saw that the house was boarded up and if they knew who the owner was. This could go good or bad, especially if they don't feel like sharing information. Nonetheless, some of these people have only lived in one of the apartments, not necessarily owned it, which makes this that much more crucial IMO. Thoughts? Any of you all have a go-to cold calling script for could be tenants of a distressed property?

 Ray, my man! Thanks for the advice. I found one owner's name earlier this AM on the cityofboston site but that's it. Next challenge is finding his number. That I suspect will be the challenge. I sent you a pic of one of the houses. Not sure where to go. Shoot me a text when you're free.

 Oh wow. I'll have to look into all of these options. Awesome to know that you are from Boston as well!

Hi BP,

I've searched through Google for specific ways to pull public records but I would like to know the ways you all do this. I am a new REI and soon to be wholesaler. I have almost have all of my eggs in a row. Over the weekend I was driving for dollars and noticed two boarded up houses. I have seen these houses in these conditions before (and I'm talking months;year). I believe that this would be a ginormous start for me if I can get in on one of these.

P.S. any Boston wholesalers or investors out there looking to join my buyer's list please feel free to add me or shoot me a PM.

Thanks,

Hi BP,

I'm interested in seeing who and where the other wholesalers in the Boston area are. I'm apart of a few Boston REIA clubs but figured I'd post here. I'm looking to hear any and all of the experiences that you all have had. I'm also looking to begin wholesaling this month or by April. I have everything set-up I just have no idea how to go about all of this and would love some help.

Thanks,

Wow! This is awesome, man. I'm 23 and just getting started. I however, did not think as BIG as you. I, too, would like to buy multi-families, but my forecast was to have 20 units by 30. You have completely done that already and you're one year younger than I. Amazing! Damn I'm moving slow.. keep up the good work.

 Good answer. I plan on sending out ~1,000 letters per month. So 1-3% of that is 10-30.. which isn't bad imo. I am one or two deals away from having the 5% downpayment.
