Hi Bigger Pockets,

I am looking for recommendations for commercial lenders in MA. I have been looking at 2-4 unit properties where conventional financing would work when I can across a 5 unit property that could be a great investment.

Thanks for the help

Hey guys I’m currently looking for a multi-family property for a house hack in Massachusetts. We currently own single family house in Billerica and are looking to stay in Middlesex County. Ideally moving to a town with a better school system such as Westford or Littleton. Closer to the city would also be an option but the numbers don’t seem to work as prices are inflated.

Great idea Charlie, it is certainly always important to properly vet tenants but in tenant friendly states like MA it is even more important. I will be checking out resources on Massachusetts tenant law, thanks for the advise.

Thanks for the support Ann and Tom. I will be checking out events and look forward to connecting with fellow investors.

Hi BP,

I am a new investor from MA looking to start my journey to Financial Independence through buy and hold investing. I am currently a site supervisor for a site development and concrete company. While the pay and benefits are great most weeks I find myself working 60+ hours. With two kids under four I want to be around while they grow up.

I began my journey about 6 months ago and through strict budgeting and ramping up savings my family is now able to live off of half my take home pay. With our budget and saving plan established I began investing in low cost index funds. While this strategy will work all of the research into FI kept bringing me to the same conclusions, the best way to FI is build a passive income stream through real estate investing. That is when I found BP, I have listened to all of the podcasts and have been soaking up content in the articles and forums on the website.  My strategy is to start with 3 and 4 unit properties and get enough doors to replace my monthly income.

I know there is nothing passive about real estate investing but I am excited about the potential  for FI and building wealth. I am currently analyzing deals and trying to overcome analysis paralysis. Its great to be apart of the Bigger Pockets community and know that there is a group of like minded people out there to offer support on my journey.

Thanks

Newbie Investor
