Boston Area New Member interested in Multifamily Investing

Rental Property Investor · Cambridge, MA · Member since 2012 · 3 posts · 2 votes

Hey guys,

my name's Al and this is my first week as a member on bigger pockets. I live in Boston and am just getting started investing in real estate. I own a small multifamily but have joined biggerpockets primarily to learn about apartment building syndication. Although syndication is my immediate interest I'd like to connect with anybody who's currently in real estate - especially if you're located in the Boston area.

Thanks guys!

HI Al! Welcome to BP.
I echo the above comments. I also recommend listening to the BP Podcast. Apartment building syndication is definitely sophisticated, the podcast might inspire you to look at some other opportunities that are similar and expand your portfolio.
You will definitely learn a TON on this website-
Take Care-
Paige

I think @Paige Clarke has the right idea. Syndication is definitely quite sophisticated. Furthermore, the cost runs high enough that you typically want to deal with a good amount of investor money (500k+) before considering the legal cost.
We've invested in one, and we're very happy with the way our partner has managed the relationship. I recommend getting hooked up with someone who is familiar with the syndication process in Massachusetts. You may even consider investing in another syndication to learn some of the ropes and 'pay for your education.'
If it's a good one, it'll end up paying you.
