We also hope to start a direct mail campaign to find deals for wholesaling, flipping, and buy and holds.We have not done a deal yet, but are excited for this new adventure.

Not super excited about being an absent investor, but Boston REI just doesn't make sense to me.Add to that the fact that MA eviction laws heavily favor the tenants (I've heard some real horror stories) and REI just isn't an option for me here in Boston.Anyway, @Alex T.

I am so excited to announce my first real estate success!

Since then I've worked to put my marketing company on auto pilot as much as possible so I can focus the majority of my time on note investing.We are working on a seller financing model with several top producing REO brokers and agents that I'm very excited about.I have a 15 year old son as well.

I excitedly checked the taxes they were paid up to date, I found the name of the owner, but haven't sought him out yet because I found info that the property will be auctioned 8/2014.

I was very excited today when I found this site with more resources than ever in one place!

Thanks Sam and good luck on your first rental - that's exciting. 

Seasoned folks on here will have some good ideas and negotiation tactics for you and I am excited to see the responses. best of luck!
