Good morning BP,
I wanted to know what would be a good upcoming area to buy and hold a property. My target market is young professionals who recently graduated. I currently live in Massachusetts. The areas that are hot right now are Brighton , Allston , South Boston . My ideal property is purchasing a 3 unit and I'm still new to the area and I know those hot areas I really can't afford to buy houses in that area. Any investors from Mass willing to help point in what areas I can tell my realtor to look ? I currently have Worcester and Lowell on my search list but those are a drive from where I currently live.
Thanks In advance.

What kind of budget are you looking for? Without that information, it might be hard for anyone to recommend an area. Without knowing your budget, have you considered either Chelsea or Lynn? I did a quick search and it looks like a lot of properties are on the market in Lynn (just need to be careful where you buy in Lynn). Frankly, I don't know enough about Lynn to be able to spot a good deal in a good part of Lynn.
