Good to see another fellow investor from the Capital Region.

Houston is a GREAT area because of the tremendous growth that the region is experiencing. 

At that time, I bought a condo unit out of foreclosure in Marlborough, MA and have lived there since.As a new investor, my intention is to start with a multifamily unit in terms of a duplex to fourplex in the Metrowest area (Framingham to Worcester region).Lastly, given that I am new and eager to learn, please let me know if you know of any real estate investing meet-up and/or networking opportunities in the Metrowest/Worcester areas in MA?

Also if you are successfully investing in the Sacramento region; please reach out to me.Thank you,Anthony

Krauthammer is an excellent writer and his psychiatry background gives him a unique take on things.

Being new to REI and an investor from Canada, solid advice has been to not venture into an MF as a first investment and that to in a region with challenges.

Is it no longer possible to search members through unique filters? 

I know I live in a very unique MTR environment with more universities within walking distance of all of my properties than anyone else on this continent, but I do want to add to the list of potential tenants, visiting scholars.If your property is near a university or college, visiting scholars are also potential tenants for fully furnished MTRs.

And Shaun gets some pretty unique stuff to stick, too!

Also, a huge tip that I have recently discovered is to do open houses in either the median price range of the market or a very unique property.
