Hello BiggerPockets!

My name is Max and I am new to the real investing business. I am a 27-year-old clinical pharmacist by day, with a strong curiosity for real estate investing, especially starting with small multi-family investing in the western Massachusetts area. I am looking to buy a duplex or triplex to start (four-plex if the price is right) in the first few months of 2022. I am looking for a real estate agent that not can only find me great deals, but also offer the education and experience that I lack, and ultimately be a long-term investing partner.

Thank you and keep working hard!

This is my goal as well. Get ready to grind! 

@Max Langlois - smart play. I did exactly that and am now up to 7 units - 6 of which are in the Worcester area. I’m happy to connect and share my experiences and knowledge.

In addition, myself and another investor host a real estate meetup every month in Worcester @ the hangover pub. Pints and Properties. We normally have a few guest speakers, food and a ton of smart investors to network with. Dm me if you’re interested, we welcome all investors from new to super experienced.

Good luck!

Thank you Joe, I appreciate it! 

Awesome plan and you're definitely going to need to be more granular to execute on this but you're on your way. Western MA is a nice place to start as it's a more palatable price for entry investors. There's a few of us here in the Boston community so I'd encourage you to post in the local Boston thread to get referrals for agents who can give you some market perspective in that area. 

@Max Langlois I was in your shoes two years ago. Just starting out, knew next to nothing about real estate. Today I have 9 units and have over a dozen flips. I left my corporate finance job in Boston and work full-time in real estate as an investor. My advice, take one small step every day towards your goal. If you do this, you will be shocked at your level of success. 

Send me a DM. I would be happy to connect and share more with you about my journey.

@Max Langlois I’d like to challenge you to set a NET monthly income goal over a number of units goal. I’ve seen many people have happier lives with more CashFlow having less units. :-)

Thank you Lien! I completely agree with you. I have a very ambitious goal, and I will need to break it down step by step and acquire the necessary resources and foundational systems to be able to scale. I appreciate the mention regarding the Boston community thread, I will take a look!

 Thank you for your advice and support Matt! I see you are progressing well in your journey. That is fantastic! I completely agree with you in taking it one small step at a time. I also believe that consistency is key. I would be grateful to connect with you and hear your advice.
