Most newbies in real estate are getting better returns than the expert CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst which you find on wall street) on a yearly basis.I am a Finance student and this is what I study all day long. 

bond holders have $1 trillion in losses2001 shemitah - 9/11 and biggest market crash ever recorded2008 - biggest market crash ever recorded againcoincidently, wall street also has what they call the "end of a seven year cycle" the end of the next shemitah cycle is sept 13, 2015here are things scheduled to happen around that time frame this year which could be concern:on sept 22 2015, new york city is having the 70th session of the UN General assemly where all the world leaders will congregate including the pope. they are calling this the "jubilee session" In the shemitah, every 7th seven year or every 49 years is call the jubilee also which means the year god gives back land taken away from their ancestors.

Builder lots are those lots ready for the home builder - streets, sidewalks & utilities, etc finished. pm sent. 

The "tree streets" just south of downtown are very nice but some of the more pricey.  

For the average person in the street, a $4m apartment might be high end, but for the high net worth individual, it might just be their weekend get away or a place to store their excess furniture or a means to get a dock in the marina etc.

I'm mostly curious to know about what towns/streets to stay away from within Framingham/natick.

What area or cross streets is it? 

Well when I brought up the fact that it's a public road and everyone parks along that street, they told me it didn't count because the neighbors house was in front of mine and he had a problem getting out....which again isn't true.

The great part for me is that it's on the same street and is the same floor plan as my second duplex.  

The house are all bought  but down the street is 2900, I hope to rent it out until I find a buyer.
