@Mike Hurney runs a couple of meetings on the North Shore, there is a good REIA in Chelmsford, @Ann Bellamy organizes the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham (2nd location in Worcester too) and @Justin Silverio does a quarterly meetup in Woburn (Though the one TONIGHT is on site at a finished rehab project in Reading).

Diamond D :)

Also check out the Black Diamond meeting in Worcester.  

I suggest Black Diamond which meets in Waltham and Worcester every other month as well as the Chelmsford REIA.  

I suggest you do that too.If you were going to begin investing and dealing in diamonds, don't you think it would be logical to understand what those rocks were, how they cut, what different grades were, why they are used in industry and for jewelry or simply left as investment grade before you jump in and start dealing in this area?

Adding her income makes it more affordable, but I cant ask to put her in that situation before I make the worst investment all of us guys HAVE to make and buy her a big worthless diamond she'll probably lose. 

I am not an expert on MA evictions and court processes, although Inessa Shur is, and she will be speaking at Black Diamond on 2/21, so be sure to catch her presentation.On a more practical note, however, you won't be able have the tenant jailed for not paying rent. 

Multifamily could be a good avenue but you have to find a diamond in the rough.

Heck if he's your friend shouldn't he be helping you find the one or two diamonds in the rough on that tape?

@Joseph Lucas  Yes, I picked up this diamond in the rough about 2-1/2 weeks ago.
