Apartment Buying- Boston, MA NEW MASTERMIND GROUP

Apartment Buying- Boston, MA NEW MASTERMIND GROUP

Haverhill, MA · Member since 2009 · 293 posts · 157 votes

One of my goals this year is to buy a larger apartment building (+10 Units). Were refinancing a 7 unit we bought last year and I want to reinvest that into a larger building.

With that, I thought it would be great to set up a group of other investors that are looking to do the same. We could use the meetings to discuss deal sourcing, investment criteria, running pro-forma's on current opportunities etc. I learned a ton on the last purchase and any lessons I can share or advice I can use from other investors on this next purchase would be great. 

I don't envision this being a large ordeal just a handful of investors who want to throw ideas and whatnot around. 

The only prereq would be that you're in the hunt for larger multi-families. 

Let me know if any interest.

    Ok @Nick Katsikis, I figure we can pick a spot to meet that is in the middle for everyone. Close to the city or something like that.

    @Rob L. I live in Boston and invest on the north shore and southern NH. Would love to join as well. Prefer somewhere close to the city if possible.

    Ok great, looks like there is some solid interest. For those still on the fence, I outlined the purpose and benefits of the meeting/group.  

    The Purpose

    No question about it this groups goal is to help each other in the process of purchasing apartment buildings. This will be done through sharing best practices, case studies, ideas etc.

    The Benefits of a Mastermind Group?

    • Mutual support. Every one of the group shares the same goal. Combining experiences and learning from each other's mistakes will speed up our learning
    • Differing perspectives. Hearing the different views and ideas from fellow mastermind participants will let you see issues and opportunities you wouldn’t otherwise become aware of –
    • Resources. Everyone in the group will have access to a different skill set and a network of people.
    • Accountability. Fellow group members will hold each other accountable to goals we set. In addition, I know for me personally just knowing that I have a regularly scheduled meeting internally drives me to make progress – because I don’t want to be the only person reporting back that I haven’t made an effort to move my projects forward.

    From a logistics standpoint, it looks like we should meet somewhere in the city or close by. 

    If anyone has any ideas on a location that would be great, otherwise I can find something that is right off the highway. 

    I'm thinking about a tentative date of Tuesday, March 20th.

    Hey everyone, @Nick Katsikis, @Jason Donovan , @Seth Robinson, @James E., @Thomas Hickey, @Kapil M. , @Donnie Mendell, @Patrick Wheeler, @Mike D.

    After researching locations I think Assembly Row in Sommerville would be the best meeting location. It offers free parking & is accessible by public transportation. 

    The first meeting will be Tuesday, March 20th @6:30PM at Tony C's. 

    Tony C's:  699 Assembly Row, Somerville, MA 02145

    http://www.assemblyrow.com/visit

    I will touch base as we get closer to the 20th but I look forward to meeting everyone!
