The NEREIA is a really good one in Chelmsford (This coming Wed if interested).

The next meeting is on Weds May 14 at 10am.

FWIW, I'm hosting a meetup on Wed. in Berkeley to compare the costs/benefits of renting vs. buying, and we'll look at factors like appreciation, property tax over time, and inflation.  

Like wedding season is April-October there is also house season.The projects people bought by end of year have been rehabbed and are going on the market.Buyer are like wait..I got this tax refund, let me buy a house.People who want to sell and buy but did't want to move in the cold are all out.Open houses are packed.New investors are out, it's warmish now they want a project.Lending deals are popping up everywhere and much more marketing money goes into lending ads.People start trying to wrap up estates that they didn't want to deal with when it was cold.Snow-bird Realtors have returned from wherever they go in the winter.It's going to get so much worse before it gets better :)So yes more competition but also more deals.

That would be the homework any responsible Mentor would give you.The Bell's Ringing!

Set up a Google voice to get another # have it forward to your phone and ring as the # it gives you.

Just off the top of my head I can think of like 7 others from Manchester down to the Cape, so lots of opportunity to learn and meet people.Also since she opened the door I happen to be the speaker at the next New England REIA meeting on Wed 7/2 and will be talking about the place I flipped by the sewer plant.  

My wife & I work full-time as professional wedding photographers.

I basically call everyone back who calls me, but I wouldn't want it ringing to my cell, because that would be really distracting.

Your mother-in-law comes over and cleans out the furniture she "loaned" you after your wedding.
