Is Massachusetts a good state to buy rentals?

[Devin Nellany]

Hello, I am currently serving in the united states marines and am trying to map out how exactly I am going to start investing my money into real estate whenever I am out. I am mainly looking to house hack in a triplex starting out using my VA loan and will be working in Mass while saving up to make a downpayment.

What I am wondering is after this first property is it wise to keep investing in massachusetts or should I try to invest in other states where the market is alot cheaper and may have alot better deals? Or is this too hard to manage?
