Find a side hustle, tighten the belts, do anything you can to build up the savings. 

With a little bit of investing, rentals and knowledge under my belt I may be able to do something with the surrounding houses one day but how can I make the land pay for itself?

I’m based in Franklin, MA, and I’m looking to connect with investors interested in opportunities across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, particularly from RT90 to Cape Cod and areas outside Boston’s 128 belt.

I have 2 black belts, one in failure and one in success!

properties under your belt then stay hyper local.

Have a flip or two under your belt but want to learn how to systematize and scale?

Once you get one under your belt, then you can think about out of state investing later and use the equity you built with the high appreciating market you are probably in!

You won't be getting access to these if you are a tire kicker, so having some actual purchases under your belt will show you are serious.

It's awesome to see you have some rentals under your belt. 

That's what I'm after, so I am paying for convenience and a service, and there may be others that can provide the same service, and potentially even better for cheaper, I'm on the lookout for that and will be evaluating others now that I've got my first under my belt and something to compare it to, but if at the end the work is sufficient and performs as expected then I will be happy with what I paid for the property and not really sweat over a couple grand here or there.
