Calling all Massachusetts Investors!

I have been looking at a lot of single family homes and Multi-families and I can't get over the prices in New Bedford. Now I know, New Bedford is the armpit of Mass but I also know that you can get burned by poor tenants anywhere.

Does anyone invest in New Bedford?

Success stories? Nightmares?

What is the future of this city? Is it an up and comer or heading for even harder times?

Are they're desirable areas and areas to steer clear of?

Basically just reaching out to anyone that has invested here, researched the area, lived there in the past or currently to get they're 2 cents. Thanks

To find out about different areas go to IREM.org search for ARM certified property managers. Call 5 ask them what parts of the city they like/dislike and why.

The only problem with this is a licensee can run into trouble telling you what areas they like and dislike as they can run into issues with the law in regards to "steering".
