Looking for others in this area to meet and discuss real estate.

I'm looking to meet like-minded folks who can share experiences and advice.

I’m pretty sure I can get them down on the price and will definitely meet the 1% rule.

I'm having a small meet up this Thursday in Old Town if you're interested?

You will get the best information at these meetings.

I'm the CEO of Loftium - great to meet you. 

I am excited to be apart of this online community and I look forward to meeting other investors in the Boston area.
