Hi @Glenn English . Congrats on your first deal. What is total projected renovations?

Welcome @Michael Hanley . BP is a great place to get knowledge for sure.

try looking for deals outside of MLS. Try reachign out to wholesalers at REIA meetings or call those bandit signs. Most of them are from wholesalers.

Try direct mail strategies. @Sharon Vornholt has some great marketign you should check out.

Welcome @Nicholas Van Blarcom . Nice to see another mass member here on BP. @Jon Holdman give good advice. Upload your picture and tell BP members more about yourself.

Hello @Duncan Banks . I have been away from the forums due to vacation time. Just saw your post. It is under agreement. Is that you that has it.

Thanks @Kristopher K. for mentioning my name. FYI use the @ sign before putting my name in or anyones name that you want them to see the post. After you enter the @ sign and start typing in the first name a list will appear matching the name you enter and just click the name you want to use.

Hello @Nick Foundas Nice to have another Mass member here on BP.

It is one of our biggest challenges right now. Our current contractors cant keep up with the rehabs we have but we have many to deal with.

For your first one make sure you do your diligence and be very careful in giving someone new a deposit. It is a feel out period when you first hire your first contractor. Check out your local building associations and also check out town permits and see who the contractors are or ask the local building inspector if he recommends anyone.

go to REIA meetings and when you give your elevator pitch ask if anyone knows a reliable contractor that is investor friendly.
Sometimes contractors go to these as well.

Congrats @Account Closed . I love to hear people making it happen.

Keep it going. Best of luck.

Welcome @Matt Beans . Keep getting all the information you can on BP.

There are no shortcuts and it is going to take time. Real Estate is not a get rich quick scheme like some might make you beleive.

@Paul Sorgi comment "Take Action" is the best advice and it looks like you just did so keep it up.

Welcome @Robbie Case . BP is a great place with unlimited resources and people at your service. Best of luck to you.

Welcome @Dan Borecki . You nailed it with "taking action". You will never know it all and you will never be ready until you take action. Best of luck finding your deal. Love to hear how you make out. You found a great place here on BP and always nice to see Mass members.
