Marketing is a process and it takes awhile to reach critical mass such that you consistently have deals filling your pipeline.

After slowly growing my portfolio to what I thought was a critical mass, I felt I would benefit from obtaining a RE license.

As you are in Mass, and didn't look at the house, if I were Listing Agent my #1 fear would be your are strictly an investor, we get to inspection and you come up with too many inspection issues dropping price.

It might be more of a question of critical mass--what kind of portfolio would it take to earn a good living without too much risk?

At the root of these, IMHO, are the same problems that eventually plague most all mass-market, make money in real estate, info-product educators.

So, if you come and you need contacts, there is some opportunity there.The area Mark Doyle mentioned has the added advantage of having mass transit available: the Metra train line runs from downtown Joliet east through the New Lenox and Mokena areas and then north-east toward the I-57 / I-94 corridor and then north into Chicago.In short, there's a lot of opportunity, but also a lot to learn about the area before making your initial selections on target properties.Hope this helps!

The property is in Metrowest county in Mass.
