Starting with a small multifamily in New England can be a powerful launchpad — especially with your capital ready to deploy.

I am involved with the business side, as an investor focused agent based out of New Hampshire.

The one caveat is, with margins so slim in this market and NH is blowing up, you need to underwrite your refi numbers very conservatively and for 80% debt figures on the new appraisal value, esp if you're not living in the building.

Hi, my name is Linda, I am currently a CNC machinist working as a contractor in New Hampshire.

I’m actually over in NH and buy/wholesale in Massachusetts too.

In NH/NE, having a solid RE attorney who understands entity structuring and estate planning will be a huge asset — a lot of investors here recommend asking your CPA for referrals since they often work closely with attorneys.As for pivoting with purpose, many investors in your shoes start by clarifying whether they want to optimize for cash flow, appreciation, or lifestyle flexibility — that decision usually shapes whether they lean toward multifamily, short-term rentals, or commercial.

I’d be happy to connect, share strategies, and introduce you to other investors in the New England area.Looking forward to connecting!

New suburb areas are continuing new construction - a small rental neighborhood should be coming online, a couple of luxury apartment complexes finishing up - so there is activity but it is primarily on the higher end of things from what I can see.

I have a MTR duplex in Derry (NH), we've had great luck with FF up to this point, but excited to try the others you noted in the presentation.
