Just a friendly fellow newbie investor looking to network!

I am an investor friendly agent, and an investor myself in small residential multifamily in central MA.

Over the years, with personal investment alongside investments from family and friends, I’ve been able to build a small portfolio of apartment buildings with a focus on cash flow through strong operations.

Utilizing the many resources to analyze deals and help find investor friendly professionals in your area has helped me tremendously.  

They will lend you their IRA money.My friends and family lend me 100% of the purchase price AND rehab money.

Low barrier of entry, landlord friendly and you can find deals that cashflowI agree with @Patrick Drury about Columbus.

Here’s why Oklahoma might be a great market for you:Affordability: Properties in OKC and Tulsa are often under $200K and offer strong rent-to-price ratios.Landlord-Friendly: Simple tenant laws make managing rentals easier.Growing Economy: Job growth in energy, tech, and aerospace fuels rental demand.How to Evaluate Deals:Run the Numbers: Ensure positive cash flow, check cap rates (6–10%), and use tools like the BiggerPockets calculators.Find Deals: Network with local wholesalers or agents, and look for value-add opportunities in stable neighborhoods like Edmond (OKC) or Broken Arrow (Tulsa).Let me know if you’d like tips on analyzing properties or finding deals!

find an investor meetup, go to it, find out who the investor-friendly agents are, find them, and see how they want to set things up.and if you can't go there in person a few times... invest closer to home. 

I was referred by a rather large investor friend of mine to them.
