Many hear there are 10k houses and its impossible to lose no matter what they do.

I agree that it's going to be nearly impossible to find a cash-flowing STR in St.

In this market, it’s really tough to negotiate a lower amount and almost impossible to skip it entirely if you want to stay competitive.I looked up your property in the MLS and saw that your monthly HOA is pretty reasonable.

It may make evictions of non-performing tenants difficult or impossible.

FHA has a self-sustainability rule for 3-4 unit properties that makes it almost impossible to get FHA financing in high-cost areas like DC, California, etc. 

Southbridge and Webster are cheaper as well.There will be obvious trade-offs in terms of location / amenities and price but i have seen good traction in all of the aforementioned locations.I'm looking for househacks for clients around central Mass and while they're not impossible to find by any means units in Worcester are typically trading at $225-250.

Marco and company are a legit brokerage for sure.on the build side  this depends on how much money your sending and if your sending to escrow or direct to the builder. also I am building in Ocala currently and time lines are no where near what we expected . and its almost impossible to control cost up front.so as long as your OK with flexible time lines  ( and believe me no builder wants to go long) and price of material fluctuation then you wont be frustrated .

Remember, you are occupying one of the units...it would be impossible to cashflow in that scenario.

It's nearly impossible to complete a proper renovation withiout using short cuts in the price point proprties many are suggesting.I am all for buying real estate that is purchased at a deep discount and where a value add strategy can yield a favorable refinance, but focus on the fundamentlas of the real estate first and foremost, and not whether the market is good for BRRRR'S.

But not impossible.
