I am almost certain it has to be better than Worcester. I nor the individuals I associate with will not touch Worcester because of the outrageous taxes the city has. Good luck Darina

    Hello Alex,

    I have not been very active in Worcester, Ma, however, it is  a very hot market now and properties go fast. Are you considering to buy there? It is a good rental market.

    Hi Darina,

    I've been looking at multi properties in the area for a while now. You are going to have a tough time on the MLS as most things seem to be pretty over priced. Also, as I am sure is the case out in Worcester, you have to watch out for the older properties that still have lead paint / knob and tube. I will let you know if I come across any good agents that have some off market deals.

    @Eric Bosworth

    Yes... Lead Paint is typically unknown in the older multi's, very important to know  

    Knob and Tube as well, - ideally you want circuit breakers

    @Eric Bosworth, thank you very much for your input. I will send letters this week to off market properties. Seems like this is where my biggest opportunity.

    @Ted Strzelecki what areas nearby do you like? I guess it is all perspective. I come from parts of NY where taxes are 27k.
