Thanks @Nicholas D.! All of my flips so far have been off market simply through word of mouth and networking. My pool of subs is definitely a revolving door. I've been lucky to find consistently reliable work in a few trades, but others I'm still trying to build relationships. Dependability is the hardest commodity to come by.

Wow I can’t believe I posted that 2 years ago! 

I totally agree with what @Zach Midwood and @Aubrey Lambalot said. There’s no true way to get a feel for the neighborhoods without just getting out there. I ended up buying a 3 family near Brooklawn Park. I love that area, but the market for multis jumped up last year so I sold it and used the profits to buy 3 flips since then. Once I recoup all my capital I’ll be looking for a 6+ in the areas mentioned.

@Zach Midwood  Hi Zach, I'm glad to see that you're interested in this area! I'm a local investor and realtor here in New Bedford focusing on smaller multi-families and flips. I bought my first 3-unit in New Bedford last year and am currently working on a SF flip in the city with another one in the pipeline. I'm always willing to meet and chat with other investors, so feel free to reach out! 

I learned first hand that it can definitely be a bit overwhelming starting out. I'd be happy to help you get that first one under your belt!

Amazing opportunity for the right buyer! Former bed & breakfast on the south coast of Massachusetts just waiting for the right buyer to unlock it's potential. This historic home sits on a corner lot in the heart Fairhaven, MA. Beautiful views of the harbor with beach and mooring rights directly across the street are perfect for the watercraft enthusiast. Sail right over to Martha's Vineyard!

There is also an side wing that was previously purposed as a bakery with a small "function-like" hall adjacently attached. Think yoga studio with a snack bar or a private practice for a doctor. The possibilities are endless!

Pictures genuinely don't do this place justice, this is one you must see for yourself. Once you step foot inside your mind can't help but start turning with ideas!

I'm not even the listing agent for this property, but once I walked through the place I couldn't help but want to find the right buyer. Truly a unique and rare opportunity!

If you or anyone you know are interested please feel free to reach out!

Best,

Aaron Araujo

I also second what @Jim Sestito said, it’s a tried and true tactic.
