Invest in Boston area or out of state i.e Austin, Dallas etc?

[Yuzi Stha]

Hi,

I am from Boston area where I already invest in MF, and I am looking to expand my portfolio. I am thinking of expanding to hot markets where there are lot of job growth, areas like Austin, Dallas, or Tampa etc. I would like to know what other real estate investors think when it comes to investing, should I just look for deals around Boston area or at this time it's good to invest in the areas I mentioned instead of Boston area.

Also, if you could suggest which areas have good potential and what type of properties would be best.

Thanks in advance,
