This presentation will review our top ten ways to succeed as a real estate investor in Massachusetts. This will not be in-depth rental training. Rather we will look at strategy and answer the big questions:

• Rent, “condotize” or flip?
• Vacant or occupied?
• How to shop in a seller’s market?
• Side hustles and alternate paths.
• And more!

We will also alert you to major pitfalls that are possible when taking over occupied property.

Attendees will leave knowing more about the Massachusetts real estate investing landscape.

This presentation will be given by Doug Quattrochi, Executive
Director, MassLandlords, Inc. Doug was a founding member of MassLandlords in 2013. He became the association’s first Executive Director under new bylaws in 2014. Since then, he has scaled the organization from a core of 160 members in Worcester to approximately 2,500 dues paying businesses from Pittsfield to the Cape, and from an all-volunteer team to approximately 20 full and part-time staff plus 50 volunteers. Doug has been instrumental in advancing democratic governance mechanisms, including score voting for policy priorities and a staggered and democratically elected Board of Directors. Doug also oversees the RentHelper spin-off, which is expanding access to electronic banking for those of us who are unbanked or underbanked. Prior to MassLandlords, Doug held leadership roles in various Massachusetts startups, two of which are still operating. Doug holds a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“Doug’s presentation was excellent. He was very clear and provided a detailed explanations.” -Larry

“Doug always holds very informative classes full of substance and Very organized!” -Thomas

“Thanks to you Doug, and all who worked on this presentation, as it is obvious that a lot went into it, as you said. It was much to digest, but your presentation of the information, and especially your opinions throughout, aided the translation. Also, your answers to member’s questions afterward, regarding recommendations, were most helpful. Always a pleasure.” -Liz

Networking time will be moderated by Peter Shapiro. A
graduate of MIT’s Master’s Program in City Planning, Peter founded
and directed Mediation For Results, a Program at Just-A-Start
Corporation, a nonprofit in Cambridge, Massachusetts. From 1990 to
2015, Peter and his team provided landlord counseling, mediation and

Metro Boston. Peter now provides Helpline and Member services for

Let’s open up the MassLandlords pet addendum and take a tour of the clauses that protect landlords, renters, and animals alike! This presentation will be a wide-ranging education on rarely discussed aspects of animal caretaking, including reptiles and urban beekeeping. We will learn:

• How landlords are sometimes the only thing between misery and the wellbeing of a pet.
• How the MassLandlords pet addendum protects landlords, renters and animals.
• Considerations for landlords if a renter requests to keep bees!
• Considerations and guidelines for small animal enclosures.
• Household products that may be bad for certain animals.
• And much more!

Attendees will leave with newfound expertise in a wide range of pet and animal topics.

Part of this event will be presented by Val Mayo. Val is the Vice President of the Boston Area Beekeeping Association and a second generation beekeeper. In her free time as dedicated friend to animals she has worked in a zoo, studied equine massage and been a member of a dog rescue group for over three decades.

Networking time will be moderated by Patrick
Sullivan. Patrick has been an avid landlord since 2007 primarily
focusing on multi families in the greater Worcester area. Having
worked in high level IT his whole life he looks at things from a
different perspective which he applies to real estate. He
became a Real Estate agent in 2015 and now primarily focuses on
Sober living facilities for people recently out of drug and alcohol
treatment centers. Patrick sits on the statewide MassLandlords Board of Directors.
