Multifamily New Construction in Massachusetts

[Christopher Fernandes]

Hi All,

Newbie here. I've been looking into buying a MFH to house hack within the next year. But one thing I haven't heard many people discuss is the idea of building a new duplex, triplex, or quadplex. With the current MFH prices I am seeing in the Boston area, south shore to be exact, I think it could make sense. What I am looking for is for some of you experienced folks to poke holes in my idea so I can determine if this is plausible. 

For financing I would be looking at using a VA loan.

Thanks in advance to all!
