Tough to say with out seeing the bathroom/property. Most three beds around Boston have two bathrooms. If you are going for more sellable a lot of people will like a nice newly renovate bathroom. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions on the renovation or are looking for a construction company to do this work for you!

Please shoot me a dm so I can be added to your buyers list. If you ever need any renovations done please feel free to reach out to me I run a local construction management business. 

@Marcus Auerbach

Thanks. I have read this book and it is good. I am looking for more of a company that is not brokering, something that I could funnel different types of leads I find on the agent side.

What do you guys think would be a good business to start in the real estate industry? I am already a realtor and work in Construction Management. I was thinking property management or a flipping/GC company. There is a lot of competition in that around Massachusetts. Anyone have any other businesses that ties into investing but differs from most?

I work for a GC as a superintendent. A good GC should be able to give you a very simply easy to follow neat and organized estimate the work with a SOW. They should also give you a well written schedule. The 35k seems a little low but it depends on your market. Also is the wall load bearing? Keep in mind the rehab could take a little longer which costs more money because the supply chain is not forgiving to construction projects right now. 

@Eric Abel I am a construction superintendent and a realtor and plan to get into house flipping. I have found a lot of the construction knowledge transfers directly into my agent business. I can walk a property and know what problems will arise before an inspection. I also have the knowledge and license to be my own GC on a reno or new build which saves a ton of money. You make great connections with tradesman who can be a huge help. It’s not for every one because it can come with tough hours but looking back over the last two years it’s amazing all the knowledge I have acquired that ties directly into investing.

@Charlie MacPherson thanks for reply. I was thinking of KW but had heard of similar things. I am part of Coldwell Banker now but would rather not pay all the dues and affiliations that come with it as I am part time and looking to grow with something that is more cloud based. 

Any one in EXP know of a brokerage in Boston? Would love to hear more about EXP

Thanks for the advice guys. 

Hi All,

I am looking for some advice on ways to learn more about the Real Estate Investing world. In September I am starting my full time job as a construction manager in the Boston area. My major has taught me a great deal about construction and a lot of the information ties directly into real estate. For the last five months I have worked as a Real Estate agent but have not learned the information I have wanted to learn which is about finding areas to invest in. I have learned a great deal about leases and landlord laws which is a huge plus. I plan to invest in a property by the Summer of 2022. Any advice on how to get started as a new investor? I'm looking for more ways to first hand get involved in real estate investing from the side lines to learn more. Feel free to reach out and connect.

Thanks,

Nick
