Greetings @Richard Boucher

I'm not far from you in Sutton MA. I'm also early on in my investing career.  I have my real estate license but that's not my profession.  If I can help in any way I'm always open to partner up with folks to help us both reach our goals.  Best of luck and take care.

Welcome @Joshua Costa 

You'll find all the info and help here that you could ever imagine!  I'm in Sutton MA, not far from the RI border.  I'm also looking to get started with my first investment property.  I'm wide open to partnering on projects/deals where it makes sense.  Maybe we newbies can help each other!  Take care and best of luck.

Hi @Anthony Thompson 

Thank you very much for your detailed reply.  I really appreciate all the info.  Just a little about my situation so I'm clear.  I live about 15 minutes from the RI border on RT 146 and the company I work for is located in RI.  I also spend every summer on the water in East Greenwich.  I have been looking in my local area but just wanted to learn more about the RI market as well.  Your links to the Handbook and Tenant Act are also very much appreciated! 

Jim

Hi @Colleen F. 

Thanks very much for that great info!  I've been looking in certain areas in Worcester as well.  I wanted to learn about RI as I also spend my summers there.  The info about registering and the tenant laws is great.  I really appreciate help.

Thank again,

Jim

Hi Folks,

I'm in the process of building my knowledge and saving.  My goal is to work primarily with buy and holds with the occasional flip.  I was wondering if anyone had feedback on the RI market in general for buy and hold.  I know that the RE market in that state is not as strong as here in MA (where I am) and that appreciation is probably not something to count on.  But, because of that the entry price on many of the smaller multi's seems much more reasonable.  If you were looking for monthly cash flow would it make sense to look in this area?  I ask because I have "Rhode Island" set up as a keyword but almost never see anyone talking about it.  

Thank you for reading and any thoughts you are willing to give a newbie :)
