Quincy, MA - rental market and city knowledge

[Flavio Zanetti]

Team,

Happy Monday! Glad the Patriots won last night and we continue to celebrate despite a foot of snow on the ground (in addition to 18" from last Monday).

Question: I am looking into a potential deal of a 2 family in Quincy that might turn into a 3 family since it's business zoned.

I am curious as to rental markets are in the area. I am familiar with Cambridge, Somerville, Chelsea, etc (north part of the city) and not so much in the south. Any positive/negative comparisons? Easiness to rent to students vs. families? 

Also, any experience working with the city? Are they easy to negotiate/propose modifications and/or improvements to properties? 

I would love to hear your experiences.

Thanks in advance for your help/answers...

Flavio
