The best one to get out to is the Black Diamond meeting in Worcester (they alternate every month with their Waltham location, April is a Worcester month).  

There are lots of MA investors, and you can meet a bunch of them at our Black Diamond event tonight in Waltham, url in my signature, it is free.

It's no skin off the nose of some newbie investor it's your black eye.

Jake, it would be inclusive of both acquisition and rehab.Keep in mind that in the areas of CA where cash flow is even obtainable, the 1.5% rule will get you in the black.

His advice is to make an investment and get your cash outlay back ASAP and then continue on to the next investment.My initial thinking was to refinance every x number of years while still maintaining an acceptable mortgage that kept me in the black.
