Given your strong net worth and experience, investors might be interested in a short-term investment with a clear exit strategy.Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): If you have significant equity in your personal residence or other properties, a HELOC can provide access to funds without selling any assets.Securities-Backed Line of Credit (SBLOC): If you have an investment portfolio, you could borrow against the value of your securities without liquidating them.Seller Financing: Negotiating with the seller to finance part of the purchase price can reduce the immediate cash requirement.

Having just been licensed in MA, I've been looking for local meetups and investor events and I've found this one so far, a real estate investors networking dinner in Downton Boston on 10/15: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/boston-real-estate-investor-net...The event is free and I've registered for 2 tickets for my partner and I.

Any favorite recommendations on realtors?
