Hi my name is Rich and I'm living on Cape Cod in Ma. Only been here for a couple of years. I'm a newbie to the investment part of real estate. While I do own my own house and have for some years I have never invested in it. I do own local business on the Cape and have a corporation already in place. I thought I wanted to start wholesaling but after doing some research I have reconsidered that and now am looking at multi-families. I also have CS- license so I'm not new to rehabs and repair work. Right now I'd like to find some people in the area to get to know. While I don't have a lot of capitol I got a lot motivation. Thanks

Hi Richard, welcome to BP.
This is a great place to learn. Make sure to listen to all the BP podcasts, read the articles on the main blog and be active in these forums to learn a ton very quickly about any topic in real estate you want to know more about.
This is also a great place to meet people that can be assets to your business. Lots of great connections all over but we also have a very strong and active contingent here in MA on here so make sure to find them (Set up some keyword alerts to find out about local topics) and get connected.
Besides doing that on here make sure to get out to some of the many local investor events we have. Best options are the South Shore REIA and the House Flipping School Meetup in Plymouth. Many other options as you head farther North as well.
