Hello BP,I am looking to flip a few properties in Boston MA and surrounding area and in need of referral for General Contractors and an Architect or someone who can help with zoning and permits.

There's also quite a few people that drive off you cape every day. 

When you have an OOS property with a reputable Turnkey provider (or a truly solid, reputable PM, if you go the DIY route and assemble your own team) it cuts out the possibility of driving by, checking on tenants, etc.

Hi, nice to meet all of you that I will be learning from here. I've been trying to read before I opened my mouth in the forums, but it seems like there were a lot of locals willing to help answer each other's question...

also depends on your market.. some the deals are just there you simply need to drive around others its tougher and most are gotten on MLS. 

I live in NYC and was thinking that I should start with my first property within driving proximity to home .

Hi,I have been interested in real estate for a long time, and this website has great information.I have been driving around and taking note of distressed properties, my next step is I try to find the owners information and call them to see if they are interested in selling.I finally found a very motivated owner that wants to sell, the problem is they are asking over double the market rate for the value of their property.
