Hi all, 

I've been looking for properties for about a year now in the Boston area. 

Looking to network, learn more, and buy my first property.

Ideally I'm looking to find a multi-unit to live in and rent out that is walking distance to the train (MBTA), but have become discouraged based on the market in Boston and Cambridge area over the year. I am looking to cover my mortgage with the rental income, just like everyone. 

Are there any meetups that people go to in the Boston area? I saw REIA groups are in Dedham and Medford (or Malden? I forget)... Anything else more central to Boston/Cambridge?

Welcome Rob,

Be sure to check out Boston home center. It is a first time homebuying program in which helps you fund for downpayment and/or closing cost. It does have income requirements so be sure to check that out. I will be closing next week on a 3 family in the dorchester area and they've help fund for that. Just a way to house hack with low money down.
