I havent found too many REI resources out this way, just wanted to see if anyone here is investing around these parts. If so hope to hear from ya!!
Define “Western MA”…
Keith
Anywhere from between Belchertown and Westhampton.
That’s “way out east”!
I’m originally from the Berkshires – and from the western part of those!
Keith
yeah i guess im in an odd spot. I am in the eastern part of western ma lol. My goodness your practically in upperstate new york. Nice area the Berkshires, probably some nice properties there. Summer rentals for all the New York rich ,they seem to love the Great Barrington area.
I was actually born in Great Barrington (the only hospital in the southern Berkshires), lived in Monterey, and went to high school in Sheffield.
Keith
There are some active groups in the that area. Western MA to me is anything west of Natick.
I’m in central CT and work in northern CT. I am so close to the line in Canaan that I was detoured into MA today when Rt 44 was closed due to an accident.
No kidding Rich, well I travel all around CT for my job. How is the the REI CT group? I was thinking about going joining and going to seminars. Have you been to any?
I keep meaning to go but never seem to get there. I went to their annual event about a month ago, the speakers sucked but there were a lot of folks to talk to during the breaks. They had the guys from Flip that House New Haven speaking both days. Lot of RAH RAH and fluff. I only sat in on a little of the actual presentation, I laughed and went back to the lobby to chat with some of the vendors.
Oh flip that house new haven. Yeah I dont know, those guys make it look easy. Why dont they ever list all the other fees that go into the flip? Well I may join soon, they dont have allot of seminars set up for next year yet so may wait till i see something I like. Hey how much is that Home Depot discount when you are a member??
You ever see the episode with the 3 family fire damaged house on that show? Yeah, they still own it…and it’s still on the MLS…FROM LAST WINTER! They are tards. Oh and you should hear these guys speaking to other people in regular conversation, hilarious. They won’t even look directly at you as if they are too good for you, they are completely cocky. And one of them is about 4’ tall, it’s comical.
I do remember that show. They sunk allot into it so probably no money left on the table for anyone to make money renting it. I do like how on flip that house they are starting to do updates on people and they show allot of first timers living in the houses they were flipping. Not being a jerk or anything I just always knew they made it look to easy for what some of the people here actually do.
