I see that in downtown Boston but the surrounding areas can cash flow a bit better.

Greater Boston inventory has risen over the last few months with plateaued sales since February.

Do you have connections in Springfield, Worcester, or Boston? 

I'm trying to familiarize myself with central MA (I'm in Boston).Thanks for the heads up about the get together @Aaron Montague  Is the group investing in a variety of towns/cities in MA?

I think areas of high development Jobs , increased transportation, school systems are a great place to start as there will be increased demand for those properties as far as the property appraising for double that in a yr or 2 I don't know but it's possible with some rehabbing in a great area  boost curb appeal update kitchen add value 

The economy and in Dallas is driven by industries such as business and financial services, transportation and logistics, telecom, technology, and natural resources.

And to accommodate the cost of living based on the different city I am planning to look at the percentage contribution of the total income(Example: 40% rent, 20% food, 10% transportation etc) which should account for the cost of living

Further, the southern cities offer better prospects for more localized food production and short distance transportation than northern regions.

With my experience in both commercial and residential management and ownership in the Boston, MA market, I am able to identify good investments and know the local markets.

Hello BP, Looking for a name or two for cabinet and vanity suppliers/installers on the south shore of MA.  Thanks in advance. Dan
