Smart Moves: The Basics of Real Estate Investing Understand your options, evaluate opportunities, and buy with confidence.
Is owning an investment property a goal for your future? Do you own investment property now and want to be sure it’s the right property for you and your goals? Are you confused by mixed messages in the media about being a landlord, inventory, interest rates and affordability? 

Then this workshop is for you!

This engaging session, led by local Realtor Jennifer Keenan, is specifically designed to give you the tools and information you need to buy an investment property - whether you are a first-time buyer looking for a multi-family home to offset your expenses, or are a seasoned homeowner - or current landlord - looking to expand your real estate portfolio.




Participants will walk away with:

<ul><li>Tips for how to choose a Realtor and Lender who are right for you and your goals</li><li>An overview of available lending options for both owner-occupied and investment-only purchases</li><li>How to identify the right investment property for you, and what tenants want in a rental</li><li>What it means to be a Landlord in Massachusetts</li><li>Data on Greater Boston investment inventory and current market rents</li></ul>

This workshop is cost free and open to all. There is no obligation and no sales pitch. Presented by: Jennifer M. Keenan, Realtor, 4Squares Residential Group at Keller Williams Realty Boston-NW | MA Real Estate Sales License #009513152 | Keller Williams Realty Brokerage License #7995 and Katy Schmier, Loan Officer | Guild Mortgage NMLS #406280 | Lender NMLS #3274

Vol. 1 of March is available at the Melrose Public Library, both in hard copies and on the hoopla digital service, and can be ordered from Molly’s Bookstore in Melrose. Signed and sketched copies can also be ordered directly from Nate Powell at <a href="https://www.seemybrotherdance.org/shop?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExMkp2Mjl4RXBSeVZLeDhta3NydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR7wofMHFLAE6HxsBQ1zgKzSYjR9B4CPrNyqwGaDPwKEtQbqyYbndEsV8bxFgA_aem_ZCkM7OkFHTHXZ3WMmlRxlg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.seemybrotherdance.org/shop</a>. Originally published as three volumes, and now also available as an omnibus, March is a first-person account of the desegregation of the Nashville lunch counters, the Freedom Rides, the March on Washington, and the campaign for the Voting Rights Act. As such, it is important both as history and as a resource for those doing organizing in the present day.

Choose an Austin Prep Education Rooted in Augustinian Values

Austin Preparatory School, located in Reading, Massachusetts, is an independent Catholic prep school rooted in the Augustinian tradition. Serving students in grades 6 through 12, Austin Prep has cultivated a close-knit learning community since its founding in 1961. Guided by its mission to inspire hearts to unite, minds to inquire, and hands to serve, the school challenges students through a rigorous college preparatory program that includes honors and Advanced Placement courses, personalized instruction, and intentionally small classes. An Austin Prep education is preparation for the journey of life. Beyond academics, the school’s unwritten curriculum – the lived expression of veritas, unitas, and caritas (truth, unity, and love) – forms the heart of its mission. “At Austin Prep, we are on a journey that is life-changing and important,” says Head of School James Hickey, Ph.D. “Our patron, St. Augustine, embarked on a journey for the truth. At our core is an institution on the same journey, committed to exemplary teaching and learning.” Serving grades 6–12 under one roof allows this leading prep school to guide students through every stage of development—academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Community stands at the center of this experience, nurturing belonging and inspiring students to lead lives of purpose. Austin Prep athletics teams, competing in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), are recognized among the best north of Boston, reflecting the same drive and integrity found in the classroom. Nearly every graduate continues on to a four-year college, prepared not only for success in higher education but for a meaningful life shaped by faith, friendship, and service.
