@Jaycee Greene 2-5 unit fixer uppers/ value add properties. 700k and under 20% down. 

Hey BP community! After years of quietly soaking up the knowledge here, I’m finally stepping out of the shadows to introduce myself and hopefully connect with others on a similar path.

I started investing in real estate in 2019, focusing primarily on Washington, DC and Virginia (where I lived at the time). Over the last few years, I’ve learned a ton through buying, managing, and navigating those markets. Lately though, my focus has shifted back home—Massachusetts and Rhode Island, where I grew up and where my heart is.

A bit more about me:

• - I work in big tech and am planning my exit in the next few years to focus more on real estate and startups.
• - Outside of work and real estate, I love spending time with family and friends, volunteering on farms (I'm a sucker for baby animals and weirdly into manual labor), and being intentional about how I spend my time and energy.
• - I'm building a life that’s rich in freedom, peace of mind, and community—who wouldn’t want that?

Looking ahead, I’m hoping to:

• - Buy 2-3 multifamily properties in MA or RI over the next year
• - Connect with local investors, agents, and operators who know the ins and outs of these markets
• - Network with great property managers (I have both worked with property managers and self-managed)
• - Continue learning and contributing more here on BiggerPockets

If you’re investing in MA or RI, thinking about leaving a W2 in tech, or just want to trade notes on building a life that’s more abundant—I’d love to connect.

Thanks to everyone who makes this community what it is!

Nice to meet you Joe. I am looking to buy in the MA or RI area. If you have anything now or in the future, please let me know.

I'm interested too. Will reach out.

 Hi Christene, would be great to connect with you too. I am in NYC but thinking of expanding my search to NJ. 

No but I can introduce you to someone with an off market home.
