Welcome to BP @Patrick Hopkins

What more can I add that hasn't been said...right, Keyword Alerts! Set them up to help finding/ seeing info posted about your interests or area.

Welcome to BP @Dan Zaccardi

Are you looking from Worcester east in focused areas?

Black Diamond's next Worcester event may be of interest to you - I'm planning on getting out there for that one.

Welcome to BP Kevin, you've gotten a lot of great advice here already with these posts. Podcasts, beginners guide, and keywords are beautiful things. I like the territory you covered in your intro: Boston, NY, and then up "north". My 2 cents...never to early to follow too many properties. Great way to watch the markets and check your analysis, just don't get stuck at that point.

Duncan Banks,
Take a look at Wareham's online assessor's database. I'd also see if you could check Mike LaCava for some input on this one. Hard to tell from the pics but I'm guessing you have more than a paint/carpet rehab there. See what they have for info on the septic too.

Hey Justin Silverio,
I'd be interested to get away for lunch. Not sure What I can offer as far what's working since I'm still a bit of a noob, but willing to share what I've done so far and where I see my plan heading.

Thanks for starting this!

Welcome to BP and the world of architecture Art. You'll learn a lot from both to help your REI goals.
Enjoy!

Hi Sean,

I'm hardly a turn key type but there are days I have thought about it! Currently I 'm breathing some new life into a property 'after hours' and weekends. I like it, but it wears on ya. Does your new job offer the possibility of something along the lines of what Ann mentioned? Just to get the start and then see if turn key is still for you or if the experience changes your course? I never thought I'd do rehab/resells, but after this experience I am already looking at some properties as candidates. I'll still be more buy and hold oriented, but having other options to get me to full time REI could be enticing. (Especially when the 9 to 5 starts to push you near the edge!) I could then mix what I do full time now with REI to get closer to my goals. Seems like you had put a lot of effort into the wholesaling, my guess is you are a pretty motivated individual and you'll find a way to break in.

Welcome to BP Dan. I find I spend a lot of time on my commute, 1hr each way, on BP reading or analyzing. There is A TON of great info here and more added everyday.

Welcome to BP @Duncan Banks. I was pursuing my BArch from the BAC when my now wife and I bought our first multi, fixed it up, raised the rents and still hold it now. I took a long break before deciding to get into RE in a more active role. I'm now spending my free time (not so free!) working on a 2 unit I bought on Cape.
Like mentioned above, read, attend and do. I wish I had been more active 10 years ago, but better late than never. You'll have a good perspective with your background.

Hi @Michael Lohin (why doesn't tagging work form my iPad!?),
I believe she has, I don't know any of the details though. I tried not to mix this world with my 9 to 5 world.
Thanks for the post,
Kris
