Hi I’m a new investor, and i notice a lot of pre foreclosure and foreclosure property in the Boston Market. Is it a good a idea to start investing in niche?

I don't think that's a good idea. Just start looking at prospective properties. They could be owner-occupied, vacant properties, pre-foreclosures, foreclosures etc. Just find a deal and if the numbers work... Buy it.

Pre-foreclosures can be great deals, but they require you move very quickly. Most of the pre-foreclosure leads I get need me to close in 1-3 weeks. this mean you will need to have your financing in place and ready to go. If you have cash you will be fine. If you have to use bank financing or private money, you will need to make sure they can get you the money quickly. This also means you need to have a title company who can move quickly for you..... So my long winded answer is no. Probably not great for a new investor because the window to do you due diligence is so small and you have to have so many things in place already in order to move fast.
