thanks everyone. my wife is on board with my plans. its not something that really interests her but she is willing to run errands for me during the day when she has a chance. she works part time and is a full time student as well as cares for our son. i am currently starting to network and find and go to any existing reia groups within an hour or two from me. i am away from home from 430am to 6pm currently having to commute the way that i am but i am using the ferry ride to search online for deals and using my work day to educate myself with pocasts and audiobooks. next on me list is gathering a list of agents to find one that knows what investors are looking for and one to put me on a list so i can be notified when new property hits the market. as well as networking with others a lot more. i am having my wife go to the court house next week while im at work to get a foreclosure list for the last 8 months in my area so i can start also making call and reaching out to the property owners while im making deliveries during the day. im also doing more research on the various owner financing and creative financing option i can use to make my first purchases. with my credit still being low and my debt not fully paid off it has left me with almost a nonexistenting saving account. also we lost my mother and father in law within six weeks of each other in the last 5 months. it has been a rough road financially in the past few months. but i am finding other options and will figure out another way to get it done. i never want my family to be in this situation financially again. i want to be able to be present in my family life and be there for my son throughout his life as well as pass something down to him. these are my goals and i will make them happen thanks again everyone gotta get back to work for now :) Matthew

Hello my name is Matthew. i found BiggerPockets years ago and have been interested in real estate since i was in high school. i made excuses and let life get in the way for many years.....bad decision seeing i wasted all that time. fast forward to now i am married and have an almost 2 year old son ( wow he grew up so fast). right now i have a decent job with a very caring company but it just isnt enough. though i can save some i wont be able to provide the life for my family i feel that i should. i have been rebuilding my credit for the past 18 months. now is the time for change, yesterday was the time for change I WILL GO DOWN THE PATH TO A BETTER FUTURE. i have listened to almost all the biggerpockets podcasts, read/listened to many books, i am a delivery driver on nantucket island so i listen to audiobooks and podcasts all day while working. i have been started looking for deals but still having a little difficulty analyzing deals. currently i live on cape cod Massachusetts and commute to nantucket everyday. i use the hour long ferry ride each way to search for deals. i have alway been interested in owning enough multi-family homes and apartments to supplement my income. i am currently away from home and my family 14 hours a day, sleep 6 to 7 hours which leaves me spread pretty thin. i am grateful for such a wonderful community that is biggerpockets for coming together and sharing, teaching, helping and building one another. now that i have kind of ramble on i will get back to the point. i am interested in the BRRR strategy particularly with multifamilies 3 units and up. i would also love to learn how to analyze deals better so i can either wholesale them to or partner with other investors. i am not opposed to investing out of state but dont have a team formed yet either in or out of state. i have been all over the country and live in oregon, arizona, north carolina, maine, new hampshire, maine, alaska, and now massachusetts

it is great to be here, i appreciate you all and cant wait to know you better

really wow that's impressive I'm actually really intrigued by the housing situation on Nantucket and I've spoken more in passing to another investor that has several houses on Nantucket and the income that you can generate on the housing here is insane compared to other areas of the country one issue that a lot of people seem to run into though is that the initial costs are quite expensive to even break into the market I'd love to talk to you more about how you did that in your situation and how your deal evolved

currently im living in dennis, ma
