Timothy Dooley
I identify myself as an accidental Investor... During the house-hunting process, after my divorce had settled, my realtor knew I was very handy and said I would do well to purchase a fixer-upper duplex. I had graduated from Massachusetts Maritime Academy as a Merchant Marine Engineering Officer. I could fix or repair almost anything and I had great woodworking skills. The first property was purchased in 2013, 2nd in 2017, and third in 2020... all on the same block.
