I feel there is anyone in the Massachusetts area looking for a partnership I’d love to meet up sometime to see if we could develope a successful partnership.Also, if there is a local meet up that may lend itself to networking with rehabbers please inform me as I have not yet been to a meet up and not sure if that is allowed at all meet ups? 

Since you have an idea of niche, go to some meetups and network.

Real Estate Networking Events - These events contain investors with similar tax profiles as you.

While doing this you need to be actively networking.

Network with others who are local to the areas of interest and ask them about what is going on.

Hello BP,After doing some networking with some agents in the Virginia area, I was able to work a deal to get access to the MRIS.

Of course that means tons of offers that wont be accepted, and will require more patience than a "regular" realtor.To add value to your offerings i might suggest knowing your market as well as possible,Understand what it really costs to rehab stuff, and what arv's should be along with what stuff will rent for.Once you are comfortable with identifying a decent "deal" you will stand far above the rest and add tremendous value to your network of investors by saving them tons of time in finding worthy prospects.On the deal breaker question, please don't b.s. me!

I’m excited to get more involved with this community and network with you all while taking the plunge on this journey to financial freedom.

At the moment I don't have the courage to be physically social, along with worrying about being able to finance deals, and networking (though it's mostly because of the first thing I mentioned).
