Exploring house hacking opportunities in Medford, MA

[Patrick Lemay]

Hey all,

I've been renting in Brighton, MA for the past 4ish years and am looking to purchase a small multi-family in Medford sometime in the coming year. Was curious if anyone has experience investing in this area or has a good understanding of what neighborhoods to look at/stay away from?

I've begun attending open houses for listings on Redfin and Zillow just to get comfortable with the process and gain a better understanding of what questions to ask—any suggestions related to attending open houses would be much appreciated as well!
