Greetings all!

A little background:

I've been researching real estate principles and gaining knowledge of the area I'm interested in for 6 months or so. Still accumulating capital for my first deal, but I'm highly motivated and socking it away.

I'm primarily interested in buy/hold opportunities in the Somerville/Medford area, but have considered expanding options or area due to the largely out of whack prices relative to rents around here.

Consider me a sponge, looking for ideas, advice, mentorship, and (hopefully in the very near future) DEALS.

Having lurked for a few weeks now, I'm really looking forward to utilizing BP more fully.

Thanks!
