About Me
Hello, we are a husband and wife team located in Westford MA. Over the last five years we have been learning about real estate investing and in January we closed on our first three unit property in Gardner MA.
With the current conditions in the market we feel right now is the best time to get into real estate investing, but with lenders reducing the numbers of products they have available we felt we needed some guidance from experienced pros.
We are interested in networking with people in our area who are active investors or just getting started like us, and with people outside of New England who can provide advice.
I have created a blog at http://dwsproperties.blogspot.com/ where I will be posting additional personal follow-ups on how our progress is going. I will try to use the blog here for general information that I feel is valuable to the whole community.
My Business
My wife is a technical writer for a technology firm which develops software and hardware for the telecom industry.
Our plan is to create DWS Properties as a LLC to be our legal entity for real estate investing. We are looking for REI to generate cashflow as my wife would like to give up her technical writing job to focus on her own company which provides professional organization assistance.

Hi Don,
I'm a new RE investor living in the Metrowest Area (Framingham) and looking to expand my network as I learn the ropes of investing from pros.
I hope to learn some new opportunities from you. Oh btw, congratulations on your first deal!
Best,

Hello Don,
Congrats on purchasing the 3 family home! I wish you many more properties in the near future. My company is based out of New Haven County, Connecticut, and we are a wholesale property dealer. I know your in Mass, but perhaps you would be interested in properties on the CT border in Hartford. Let me know, and perhaps our business can benefit each other.
Kind Regards,
Manolis

Hey Don,
I have a webinar coming up next Thursday with Than Merrill (the guy on flip this house.) Anyway, he sent me some links with free videos, tips, etc... to market with, but I figured I would post them for everyone. This isn't a link to buy something so don't worry about that.
Check out my page next week if you want details on how to get on Thursdays webinar. Due to the size of the group, Than's going to be giving away some of his home study courses, and a few other things too... Cya!
Here's the link to the videos:
