@Josh Parra Thank you Josh for the details shared. Finding a good team probably the most challenging part in a flip, (as I read from the book on flipping houses, and per my own experience of rehabbing my primary home). It's fantastic that such a nice end product has been created, and long term relationship has been developed at the same time. (Thanks for the timing these companies picked up or did not pick up their phones :))

Is there a day-to-day schedule for the rehab? If so, was it created/maintained by GC, or you were involved in the scheduling as well?  Besides, what kind of HW floor did you use? It looks really modern and high-end. I also really like the walk-in shower, and the hint of gold color used in the bathroom!

@Christian Nachtrieb Congratulations on the closing and having candidates for tenants. It really speaks for hot Boston area. Would you mind sharing how you get the tenants? 

I have a closing on 8/10 for a property in Malden (not that close to Boston, unfortunately), and am kind of worried about vacancy.

@Lior Rozhansky Hi Lior, It's interesting that you mentioned Wakefield, since I was just to start researching that area. Would you mind talking more about it? What kind of tenants in that town (commuters to Boston, or professionals working locally), what types of property fits well in its rental market (condo, MF)? I was told that rental properties in/close enough to Boston barely have any vacancy, guessing the situation for Wakefield could be a little different?  Thanks a lot!

@Ken T. Thank you Ken!

@Tyler Libby Thanks a lot for sharing the insightful comments! It looks like there are indeed some challenges there. 

Tyler Libby Hi again, Tyler. I notice that you are from Georgetown, I was just curious if you happened to know anything about the Haverhill multifamily and rental market. We drove by that area last weekend and it looks a nice town, and also have some supply of multifamily. However, the crime rate is not as low as we would like it to be. I am not sure how that plays out on the market. Any thoughts will be appreciated! Thank you so much!

@Tyler Libby Thank you Tyler. Great to see another investor from MA. 

What an amazing transformation!!! Thank you so much for sharing your story and these pictures. Best luck on your closing!

Question: how did you assemble the team performing this job in a new area? Did you act as the GC? 

Survey completed. Hope it helps. Curious about the results.

@Dave Visaya Thank you Dave for the warm welcome! Will do!

@Shawn Ackerman Thank you Shawn! Well said.
