It's usually pretty expensive (I think last time I was getting it it was $150/quarter) but lead wise, and local indepthedness is pretty amazing.

If you want to jump right in look at going to @Justin Silverio 's quarterly meetup that is this Wednesday on location at a finished rehab he just did in Stoneham.  

It was my fourth auction, but the first time I actually came home with a property.

I personally like the NEREIA in Chelmsford and @Justin Silverio 's quarterly meetup in the Woburn area.Out of state investing can be profitable but can also be really tough.  

If I save up for a year, I'll have enough to complete the third addition, then in another eight months after that, enough capital for the fourth addition.I have tax filings, CPA produced financial statements, LLCs, etc.

Use a 10% vacancy rate.As to vacancy and pro formas, several ways to play with numbers, but I load the vacancy rate as a annual expense then spread that over the year at uneven amounts quarterly, 40% first qrt, 30% second qrt, 20% 3rd qrt and 10% last qrt.

I had one offer fail this week, and two outstanding ones that are on life support, and a fourth one that just might work.

Sister Loraine was the Executive Director (Sister as in Nunn) and it has been a nationally recognized success, they provide living quarters on a temporary basis primarily for women and children.2.

I am inclined to buy a fourth property, a three family, with a mortgage solely as an investment, and possibly a fifth (a townhouse) for my own use near family and roots.  

More people quit their job last quarter than in the past 20 years on record.
