    WOLLASTON WEDNESDAY #32: How to Permit a Multi-Family Project

    As you may know, we purchased a single family property at 74 Burt St in Dorchester with the hopes to build a larger apartment building on that very lot. For this week's Wolly Wednesday, I thought I should share our experience with the process so far. ALMOST anytime you want to build something in Boston like a house, an addition, a deck, dormering a roof, adding sq footage, finishing a basement, or adding a bathroom, you're going to have to go through an extensive, timely and

    How did we get momentum in real estate and how do we maintain that momentum today?

    I will never forget the first meeting Alex and I had with a “real” investor. Alex found him by cold calling “I buy houses cash signs” in the neighborhoods we were working. We were so excited to have a sit down with a legit investor and I am pretty sure it showed (mind you we were 23 & 24 and knew almost nothing about real estate). Little did we know that this moment would be the turning point in our infant real estate careers. We originally went in there to grow our buyer’s l

    What Doesn’t Get Measured, Doesn’t Get Improved.

    Let’s imagine John is crushing it! He is a high achiever and is moving a million miles a minute. He is doing so much that he doesn’t feel it is worth his time to track his statistics. He just made a ton of phone calls to agents. He got some properties shot over to him so he analyzes these and sends offers on the promising ones. He then makes some phone calls to homeowner leads he has. His mailing campaign is in full throttle as well and leads are trickling in through that! He

    How Having Superwoman As Our Attorney Has Gotten Us To Where We Are.

    When Alex and I were young real estate investors doorknocking the streets of Brockton, we really had no idea what we were doing. We had some coaching about how wholesales and short sales worked, but it was all theory. As we kept grinding and meeting new people, we wound up getting introduced to who would later become the most pivotal piece of our team; Attorney Shahria Boston. She took us under her wing from the beginning, spending a ton of time teaching us the ins and outs o

    Featured Property! 234 Paris Street, Boston, Ma

    This project represents the future of our company! As we are closing out our single family properties, we are turning our focus on properties just like Paris street, 1-5 Unit condos in and around great Boston! Harrison Bonner found this property through a fellow fortune builder member. Our renovation budget did go up a bit from the original estimate as we added roof top decks and had to sister all of the floor joists through the house. But, our ARV has been bumped up due to r

    How did 4 “Rookies” build a $6,000,000 real estate company? We specialize.

    This may seem simple. But being specialized has exponentially grown our company. It is one the main reasons we have been able to grow to over $6,000,000 in just over a year and a half. It is a huge reason why our team is efficient, effective, and fun to be around (you know it’s true). We all know our role. We know our priorities. And we execute at a high level, improving with each experience within our role. It hasn’t always been like that, though. In the beginning, when it w

    Why We Do Everything By the Book,and You Should Too

    We have all heard the stories; investors who use under the table labor, try to pull as few permits as possible, and try to squeeze every penny out of a property they can, usually cutting corners in the process. I have seen firsthand how some investors will do this and try to fly under the radar in order to maximize their profit. One investor actually questioned our big sign in our front yard that has our name and contact information on it. He told me that bringing that much a

    What exit strategy are we using to do $6.5 million in revenue this year in Boston?

    There are many ways to make money in real estate. Each niche has its own pros and cons; and its own intricacies. While it is easy to get caught up trying to be a jack of all trades, the smart investor becomes a master at one exit strategy at a time. Once they perfect and systematize that strategy, then they can decide to move onto the next one or not. That is precisely what CC Solutions is doing. This blog will explain one of the most successful exit strategies for our real e

    Featured Property! 192 Main Street, West Newbury, Ma

    We just couldn't resist renovating another single family! We are dwindling down the amount of single families we renovate as we are moving to focus on condo conversions in and around Boston, but this one we couldn't pass up. Our hardworking Acquisition Specialist, Greg Cammarata, found this gem through MLS and jumped on it. His initial numbers (renovation and ARV) were almost 100% spot on; we actually were under our renovation budget. This project went under contract in less

    Small Talk Passes Time, Big Talk Builds Relationships

    This week in Team Education we watched a Ted Talk which taught us to have powerful conversations in lieu of insignificant small talk. We’ve all sat through the agonizing time filler known as “small talk”. It’s one of those things that most people don’t like to do, but they feel like they have to. Everyone has been in a conversation and felt the only way to keep it alive is to ask questions such as: How are the kids? Where are you from? Wow, it’s a beautiful day outside, hu

    What happens when you jump into a condo conversion on a property built in 1825 that has $350,000 in renovations without ever doing one before? You learn a lot! We decided to jump into this deal with no real experience in the condo conversion world and we definitely learned a ton through the fire. After almost a year, (and 3 contractors) this beautiful project is finally finished and on the market! One of the two units is already under contract and we expect the other one to g

    Why you need to get over your fear of failure if you truly want to be successful

    Christian Chasmer here today to tell you how CC Solutions uses failure to succeed! The summer of my junior year in college I worked for an internship where I ran my own franchise of an exterior painting company. I did my own marketing and sales. I hired my own crew of painters and managed them. I did my own customer service and scheduling. And it was the hardest summer of my life. The average manager had 5 painters on their team and kept 4 the whole summer; I went through 23.
