Will have to be outside of Boston City Limits. Still a good deal of demand.

I would definitely recommend just taking the second floor temporarily. If they are paying and want to stay, it is not worth trying to get tenants out in MA. Maybe do a live in flip and renovate the second floor while your there?

Hypothetical question of the day, primarily designed to compare markets in different parts of the country:

If you were to purchase 500K of property, what kind of NOI would you expect in your Market and area? What kind of Gross Revenue?

Thanks all who respond!

Post: Massachusetts FHA or Mass Housing loans and fees included

Hi Ruslan,

If you can qualify for a Mass housing they do have a option with no MI. The current rate is around 4.3-4.4.

The best part about the Mass Housing loan with no MI is you're only looking at $5000 in closing costs in your range.

The mass housing loan with MI requires about $9-10000 but gets you a lower interest rate. 

*disclaimer: always varies, this what I have seen with my buyers.

As are is if it's worth it or not,  that's an interesting question.

The big plus is in our area,  vacancy rates are very low. 

4- 1 bed units at 1000/month with you and your wife in one of the units should enable you to live "free" or close to it which is certainly respectable .
