Statewide Virtual Meeting Wed Apr 6: Top Ten Tips for New Massachusetts Real Estate Investors

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 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 homelessness prevention, and led landlord support groups across Metro Boston. Peter now provides Helpline and Member services for MassLandlords and also provides landlord counseling and mediation for the City of Boston. Peter is the author of The Good Landlord: A Guide to Making a Profit While Making a Difference.
