New investor in MA looking for some ideas

[Christopher Fernandes]

Hi All,

My name is Chris and I am looking to break into investing. I am a military vet currently in college but graduating in 2018.

I was wondering whether I should look to invest in the south shore (where I'm from) or get involved going west towards Worcester, where I see lower average prices.

I'm looking to make a flip as well as house hack. For house hacking I'd like to stay in the south shore (near work and family). For flipping willing to go wherever it makes sense.

Any tips from fellow MA investors on either flips or buy and holds throughout the state would be appreciated.

I apologize if this is not the correct category.

-Chris

First you are doing good with your research. You want to define your target area and where is the best place to invest. 

1. First you want to define your niche.- Do you want to house hack or flip? 

Focus on one or the other for your first deal. 

2. Also know how will you finance the deal? 

Answer these two questions before you start to analyze deals
