Starting My Multifamily Investment Journey in Boston

Investor · Boston, MA · Member since 2025 · 2 posts · 1 vote

Hi BiggerPockets community,

I’m Ben Hernandez, and I’m starting my journey into real estate investing. I’m based 25 minutes south of Boston and currently looking for my first multifamily property for long term rentals. My goal is to build a strong portfolio over time and connect with like minded investors who share a passion for real estate.

I’d love to connect with local investors, agents, lenders, and anyone with experience in the Boston and surrounding markets. If you have insights, advice, or just want to network, feel free to reach out. Looking forward to learning from this community and hopefully contributing as I gain experience.

Let’s connect!

-Ben

Hi @Benjamin Hernandez! Boston is a challenging area for buy and hold in the current market, but we're starting to see some value in 4 unit properties. If you're looking for cashflow, you may have to consider 3+ unit properties, as traditional 2 families don't seem to fit the bill anymore.
Happy to connect and chat a bit more about your goals.

@Tyler Munroe, Thank you for the insight. After analyzing some deals, I'm quickly realizing that in order to cashflow in the Boston market, I'll need at least three doors. Feel free to send me a note with your availabilty over the next few days to connect.

Hi Ben, there are a lot of great secondary markets south and west of Boston, and on the Cape that obviously have lower price points than in Boston. It's my view you can still find deals if you play the long game. I'd recommend connecting with a great agent that is focused on investors specifically those looking to purchase multi-family. @LienVuong at The Elle Group is strong in this area.
