Having said that, you should still go, just be aware, and perhaps you can create your own opportunity for networking.Black Diamond attracts the highest percentage of experienced investors in the MA market with attendance in the 80-150 range, and next Tuesday's free event is very much a commercial topic:  Cost Segregation. 

I eventually graduated to diamond setting and diamond cutting in the factories, marking $15/hr.

I host Black Diamond, and our topic this month is Wholesaling, as a matter of fact. 

Find them through Google and meetup.com You might check out the Worcester Black Diamond meeting.Two Great reads, I bought both J.

@Derek Diamond and @Bill GoodlandThank you both for the information !

If you want some ideas on how to negotiate try reading,"Getting More" by Stuart Diamond I use the principles in this book for negotiation every chance I get and they work well.Good Luck,Allen Fletcher

Even using a PM, they'll have to follow these same rules, and you'll be paying them extra possibly if there are more hoops to jump through.Second, unless you have a compelling reason to invest outside your location, I'd advise you start  "digging for diamonds in your own back yard."

I think the BRRRR is going to be the best way to get started if I can find a diamond in the rough.

Occasionally they will land a diamond for themselves as a mom and pop tenant but it's more rare because if I own a strong site I would take more rent, better tenant, and exit at a lower cap rate making more money than a risky mom and pop tenant.How old is the building?

Unfortunately there will be a lot of the wannabes, but you don't know who will perform until they do so networking is always good.Some of the more convenient ones for you would be the Boston Area REIA that meets in Medford and the Black Diamond meeting that meets in Waltham.
