@Jeffery Hood thank you Jeffrey I will reach oit&

Hi All,

I need helping finding a local attorney to provide advice on my investment property and current lease. Something has come up and I would prefer a recommendation from someone rather than just googling. It is most likely a litigation problem and I would also like them to review my current lease to see if it needs updating to include my issue.

I’m from Haverhill, Massachusetts so anywhere around the Merrimack Valley area would be helpful.

Thank you!

Hi All,

I purchased my first duplex in March with an 3.5% FHA loan. Used my personal savings for the down payment and updating/maintenance. I am now house hacking by living in one of the units. I work a W-2 job and still have a $13K of student loan, but no other major debt (own my car and small credit card debt) and I have a high credit score.

I have been learning and researching on how to analyze BRRRR strategies in my area (Essex County, Haverhill, Massachusetts) but I am stuck on what can I do right now with not enough savings built up get and its only been 5 months with my FHA loan.. should I wait it out for the 1 year mark? How soon can I even get a HELOC? Any other suggestions on how to finance my first BRRRR?

Thank you!

@Kevin Romines This has been great advice! I've been searching and trying to learn more about the refinance benefits and how to tackle lenders. Thank you for explaining so clearly.

Thank you all for welcoming me! I didn't think anyone would even read this or be interested in helping me out yet. I underestimated all the great things I've heard about what a close knit community it is on BP. I am so glad this is around for me to use while I start to get going on figuring out what my first steps are. Thank you for sharing what you know, I appreciate any word of advice.  I am glad you are all so close by for help and grateful for the help in distance. I look forward to reaching out to you for help when the time comes. Thanks again!

Hi All,

   I JUST started listening to Bigger Pockets last week and I can't get enough of it. I am still in the beginning of the podcasts so I have a lot of catching up to do but I wanted to get on here and continue to educate myself and be connected!  I am looking to learn the about investing in real estate and possibly look into receiving a real estate license.  I am also in the beginning stages of looking for my first time home buy but I want it to be my first big investment.  I am going to start soaking up as much information as I can and will be sure to reach out to any of you if I have any questions..thank you!
