We are mainly looking to continue growing our portfolio and we are happy to bring on investors who's real estate plans line up with ours.From what I've gathered by listening to all of the Bigger Pockets podcast shows it seems like there are many people out there looking to get in to acquiring  value-add properties but may not have the experience or might be weary of contractors.

I suggest listening to the BP podcasts and reading through the blogs and books they offer.

Hello,Just wanted to introduce myself as I have been a long term podcast listener and reader.

There are a lot of good meetups for real estate investors in the area that would be good to grow your network and learn from others that are and have been in your shoes as a new investor, message me and I can share on some specific monthly meetups.Also sharing some multifamily data, this is Boston proper so it has an interesting trend compared to the rest of Massachusetts.

So my question is, if you were in my shoes, where would you start if you had $150 cash with good credit?

I am eager to start but can't get around the glaring issue of not having initial capital so I was wondering if there are any methods you guys would use to raise capital if you were in my shoes or is it just time to put my head down and put in long hours? 

I have listened to some very good podcasts on the merits of owning and investing in the parks, being the source of housing it is.Good question!

I’ve been in similar shoes before, and let me tell you, it’s no picnic.

I am pretty handy and have done plenty of restoration work myself and not afraid to put in some elbow grease. looking into real estate to get the wealth ball rolling but feel a little uneasy given the current state of the economy. what would you do in my shoes?! 

I joined this forum to connect with others, learn from those who’ve been in my shoes, and maybe even find people to partner with in the future.If you’ve got any tips, especially around raising capital or structuring your first deal, I’d love to hear them!
