@Amanda Paugas I had one all set up until Covid hit and changed my plans.I was partnering with Oxford House. 

Having a "legitimate" management company not only helps me operate efficiently but also looks good when presenting to lenders and potential partners.

I work with some of them on a daily basis, I partner with them on deals, etc. 

My partner and I visited Detroit MI this past weekend and found 2 deals:TRIPLEX for $50k with ARV of $130k with one unit already rented at $1000 & the other two needing about $30k to rehab.

The current payoff is at ~$231,000 but my partner and I do not have the capital to close the deal.

My business partner and I arrived to Moon Palace a couple hours ago!

I put an offer in on the rental I currently occupy, but came in under where my landlord (and 1 partner in this property) were looking at to even entertain giving up a cash flowing property. - He bought this 4br/2ba for 285k put 20k +/- in and I rent for 2700.

Feel free to reach out, and we can discuss how we can partner to make your first deal a success.

Having just been licensed in MA, I've been looking for local meetups and investor events and I've found this one so far, a real estate investors networking dinner in Downton Boston on 10/15: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/boston-real-estate-investor-net...The event is free and I've registered for 2 tickets for my partner and I.

If you need help finding cost seg partners, feel free to reach out as I have a few good referrals that I have used with my clients in the past.
