I have found that Black Diamond REI Insiders is a really great opportunity to meet people in the real estate investing field.

Hi @Jason SilvermanThere are a few Real Estate meetups that I recommend in the Greater Boston AreaMultiFamily Investors Network Which Matt Picheny and Darina Pogodina run in NewtonI along with 3 other real estate investors @Ann Bellamy @Nick Aalerud Daniel Store run Black Diamond Real Estate Investors in the Burlington and Worcester area.There is also the Chelmsford REIA in Chelmsford MA you can attend.There are more, but I think these are the most popular near Boston.

@Nicholas Van Blarcom go to meetup.com look up Black Diamond REIA and Metrowest REIA.

Hi @Diamond Bland and welcome to BiggerPockets!

Their tax lien list not good at all and they were trying to promote it like it's "Diamond".

Apartment for rent-  Come check out this diamond in the rough.    

Purchase price: $18,000 I came across this property thru another agent before it hit the MLS- If you look at the photos on Zillow you can see it was a diamond in the rough.

If you can afford it and get a return I think the long term way to go is the deeper renovation.Now- if you think the downstairs is the diamond in the rough- then get her switched upstairs and start down there.

While from time to time, you can find a diamond in the rough, generally speaking, there is not an innate arbitrage built in to most notes without some input of value add.

Jonathan West Hi those are great points, we just closed on a property in the southwest area right off of Blue Diamond.
