Providence, RI oppose to Boston, MA

[Taylor Wrice-Brooks]

Hello All, 

I'm looking to start investing on better properties south of Boston in Providence, RI. City is being redeveloped and I want a piece of the action in the right way before the value goes up higher in the area. Prices are low, which is good but I want to know which direction would be profitable + rewarding. Would going low oppose to taking the risk of finding a private lender to grab something of a higher price ($450k+ multi-family) in a "already "high market value" Boston have a better result or understanding while slowly but surely getting the foot in the door in investing?
