@Dante Ritchey i have a couple landlords who have good experience in MTR in Worcester,MA. The key is LOCATION X3 as in All real estate. If you are close to the hospitals or downtown you win, if not it is hard. There are a lot of travel nurses who simply don't have a car and when they agree to come, they think that Worcester is a REAL CITY, but it isn't. Worcester is a large suburb where people live and go to jobs to the east. Reach out off line and I can connect you so you can have those conversations with locals.

i would be very wary of these disclosures as most people don't disclose very much. The fact that they are disclosing the structural issues and the septic issue means that they are probably apparent to most people. If you want to get local eyes on the property reach out. There is a high likelihood that i have already seen it but if not, I would be glad to help

Owen,
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news here. It will be hard to find a 2 family for $390k in Worcester. You can find one in the surrounding areas. Also, most of these will trade PRE MARKET, as there is pent up demand. Since it is now rare to pay over the appraised value for properties, it is even now more common for owners and agents to figure out the price of the property and simply sell it to someone for that price. Due to the pent up demand it doesn't take too many calls to other agents to sell a 2 family. Luckily as someone who is a buyers agent for many multis, I get these calls and do a bunch of these pre market properties a month. Make sure that you are working with an agent who specializes in working with Buyers in the type of houses you are looking for. Best of Luck.

A lot depends on where and if you need to get somewhere every day. If you need to get to cambridge. Not sure if I would pick worcester. I would check out Lawerence/Lowell. If you are going to Downtown Boston, then maybe Worcester Works
