BostonAREIA.com has regular meetings around Boston and Worcester. It is a great place to network.

Hi Chris,

Welcome to BP! This past year I bought a bank-owned house in Groton. It still needs some additional work, but it is rented out now and generating some income. Also I am working on getting a SFR in Westford ready for renting out. Best wishes for success in your ventures!

I recommend that you enlist the aid of a local real estate agent who knows the area well. There are some OK areas and some high crime areas to avoid. Some streets are clearly in decline, although the university is pushing hard to improve the neighborhoods adjacent to the campus. The commuter rail station is a plus. Most of your prospective tenants will be students or have Section 8 vouchers, which can be an advantage, since you are guaranteed at least a portion of the rent.

Welcome Shlomo!

There are many good meetings in the Boston area.

Wondering if you ever worked at Brandeis.

Best regards

Tom

Welcome to BP!

I am located just northwest of Boston on the I-495 belt.
In addition to the Black Diamond events in Waltham and Worcester,
the Northeast REIA has monthly meeting in Chelmsford.

Each of these meetings are very well attended and excellent places to meet other investors. Hope to see you there.
