Lots of great connections all over but we also have a very strong and active contingent here in MA on here so make sure to find them (Set up some keyword alerts to find out about local topics) and get connected.Besides doing that on here make sure to get out to some of the many local investor events we have.  

So for me it is a combination of knowing how much worse my life could be if I hadnt found real estate, asuming that I would even be alive today, and a very strong desire to help other people climb out of their problems. 

I strongly suggest networking and building up relationships because they will help you get through those first investments.  

hello, Julio, I strongly recommend you look into joining South Jersey Real Estate Investment Association.

Some of us feel very strongly about specific items and would be happy to travel to the meeting, but if we request an agenda the "right" way - via the certified letter, the moment is arrives, it's useless, the meeting would be already over, given that the requirement to post an agenda is 48 hours in advance.

Filing is easy and cheap in CT (around 120$ in CT and all form available on line), but you still need to go through all those steps and draft an organization agreement.My accountant is the one strongly suggest to form a LLC for each property. 

I have a very strong network locally and know a bunch of attorneys and other individuals who have traveled to Island after recent events.

I feel pretty fortunate to be in a strong investment market.

And even if reserves look strong, be aware that you have almost no control over what the board does unless you are on it, and with the one condo we do own, I'm shocked at what they are willing to spend on, and they have no problem raising our condo fees each year.  

Great splits,  no quotas,  can work full or part time, great support local or remote,  agents throughout state,  strong systems in place.
