Hi @Steeve Breton,

That sounds great.  I'd love to discuss Waltham and pick your brain about Framingham.

Hi @Matthew Apkarian,

The main reason is to accelerate the scale of my portfolio.  Single family opportunities that cash flow have been tough for me to find in MA, so I purchased my first house in Forth Worth, through AREI, and the second (awaiting the closing later this month), through Mid South Homebuyers in Memphis.  The first house has cash flowed nicely, but to replace my current W-2 income with rental income will require scaling up with multi-family.

Thanks for reaching out.

Hi Willy,

Thanks for your comment.  I live in Natick and have some familiarity with the Framingham market.  I also lived in Waltham for a few years and like that market as well.  So far I have used conventional financing.  

I like the clear goals you have set for yourself over the next few years.  Are you searching for properties in any specific markets?

Hi Mark,

I have been looking mostly in Framingham and Waltham for multi-family houses that I can use the BRRR strategy with.

Thanks for the advice about finding a lawyer that's well versed in landlord/tenant law.  Have you run into any issues of this nature with your duplexes?

I purchased my first rental property this July (SFH) and will be closing on another SFH in December. My interest now is in investing in multi-family apartments. I look forward to learning about everyone's experience with RE investing!

Sorry I'm a little late to respond, but I have purchased an investment property with AREI and they have been a pleasure to work with.  From they beginning, they are very responsive and helpful, which was important for me as it was my first investment property and I had a lot of questions.  John Larson and his team were more than happy to answer all my questions from start to finish, and even more impressive is how responsive they are if you need assistance AFTER the sale.
