Thank you, @Ann Bellamy ! It was a pleasure to help out.  I think you are offering a great service to the industry and as soon as I went to my first event, I thought "I want to be a part of this any way I can!"

Regarding the rest of your post, I couldn't agree more!  My general life philosophy is "You have to pay in advance." and I don't just mean money here. If you want to get something, you have to put the work in FIRST! And that's with everything!  Does someone want to be an awesome piano player (for a random example)? Most of us will have to practice, a lot, FIRST.  You want to be a real estate investor, you have to learn, make mistakes and put in the time. This idea, and in my opinion a law of the universe, applies to anything and everything someone could possibly want to do. You have to pay in advance (if I could double bold underline that I would).

This brings me to the next part of my philosophy, "help people where ever you can, but don't expect anything in return."  See someone that can use help? HELP THEM! See an organization doing good things and you see a way that you can be of assistance? Ask if you can help! ( to put is simply, make yourself useful to as many people as you can)

Strange things start to happen, at least in my experience, when you proceed this way.  Life, in general, gets better.

So, again, thank you for letting my wife and I help out. We really had a great time!

@Matt Argon sorry for the delayed response. I've only had access to the app for the last few days and it's kind of clunky. I couldn't figure out how to reply to you. as far as a theme it depends on what your goal is. DM me and I'll see if I can help you out. I tried to DM you but the app is fighting with me.

@Shirley X.  I have looked at Haverhill a few times. Basically, there are some good parts and bad parts. It would really depend on the location of the property.  If you want to PM me an address I can take a look.  I know that majority of what I saw, I wouldn't want to own in the neighborhood they are in, because of the kind of tenants they attract.

On the other hand, that does not mean there isn't money to be made on those kinds of properties, and people do, a lot of money!  It's just not for me.

@Josh Parra Outstanding sir!

Is there an agenda that we can see for this meetup, or is this just networking?

@Charlie MacPherson @Larry Turowski

I have used Henry Rappa as well. Great guy, great attorney. Always helpful. He did my last closing for me and helped me with some LLC work.

@Shirley X. Welcome Shirley! 

@Caileigh Oldroyd Without seeing it, I don't know how it could be made legal.  Keep in mind that even if it's "possible," it's very unlikely that the landlord will go through that process, as they run the risk of failing and drawing attention to the illegal apartment.  As far as whether you're doing anything illegal by living there, it's doubtful you would face any personal legal implications by residing in the apartment (I'm not a lawyer, so I can't think of all the possibilities here), saying that, the landlord could face legal consequences and you could be forced to move without much or possibly any notice if for some reason the local code enforcers decided to come down on the landlord for the apartment being there.

There are reasons for these codes and it mostly comes down to safety, so that is something to think about.

I once bought a property that had a whole extra house the city didn't know about and the city did ask me to not use it as a residence (luckily that's not what we wanted the property for and it wasn't a big deal for us)

@Mike Hurney I found it!

@Mike Hurney I would've like to have to come to this.  I, unfortunately, planned a family event for tonight (who all happen to live in Danvers) is there a way for to set it up so I get notified further in advance next time?  I just don't see that option here.  I'm just not sure where your main calendar is.
