Monthly drop-ins, moving around Boston.

We host a drop-in session one Thursday evening each month, rotating to a different part of Greater Boston each time. Come ask whatever's on your mind about the process, or sit back and listen to what we've been working on in the past month.

Have a neighborhood you'd like us to visit next? Let us know.

Every few months, we'll be throwing a bigger event in our space in Jamaica Plain. A full seminar with more structure and room to network with other co-buyers.

Please sign up on our contact page to hear about the next one.
