@Ann Bellamy above hosts the Black Diamond event that is next Tuesday in Waltham and there is the Boston REIA that meets next Thursday and @Justin Silverio who commented above has started hosting a BiggerPockets Meetup in Woburn that will meet next month.There are a bunch more as well but that is a good start with ones that are close to you.
