Join us for an exciting event where a panel of three local, new real estate investors will share insights on managing REHAB COSTS - when working on properties - and overcoming obstacles in the industry!

Our guests Michael Decandia of DeCandia Property Investments, Devon Turner of Telegraph Hill Home Buyers, and Taulant Hibroj of Dukat Properties, will each present one case study, focusing on numbers, specific deal details, systems, and challenges they have faced as new investors.

They will also share valuable tools that help them manage projects successfully!

Michael DeCandia and his wife Katelynn live in North Andover, MA, where they started and continue their real estate journey while working their full-time. They started DeCandia Property Investments, LLC in January 2023 with a primary focus on flipping residential, single, and small multi-family properties as a method of quickly building capital and escaping the W2 life. Currently, they are working on their third, full-scale renovation. Michael is an Engineer by profession, working a full-time, rotating shift in a power generation facility. He is also a Licensed Construction Supervisor, a Realtor (MA) with LAER Realty Partners, Team Ener-G, and an active member of the Boston AREIA and New England REIA.

Devon Turner is the owner of Telegraph Hill Home Buyers, a local real estate investing company that focuses on properties from Boston to Cape Cod. Through the use of direct-to-seller marketing, Devon sources off-market deals for himself and fellow investors. After 2 years working on the Acquisitions Team at Whiteacre Properties, he started Telegraph Hill Home Buyers in 2023. Devon is also a Licensed Agent with Elevated Boston and an Acquisitions Consultant for The Elevated Companies, a Boston-based development firm.

Taulant Hibroj is the owner of Dukat Properties, a real estate investment company he founded in 2022. Taulant also received his real estate license in 2023. He has a full time job working in the IT Field, but his main goal is to build a strong, successful company. He bought his first property in 2014, which he house-hacked to build some capital. It took him another 7 years to commit to becoming a Real Estate Investor. Since then, he has acquired off-market properties, worked with wholesale deals, and recently completed a fix & flip project.
