Multi-family Investing in Massachusetts

[Faraz Mog]

Hi all, I’m new to real estate investing and am reading resources to learn more about multifamily investment. I live in Boston but recently learned that there are cities that may be better to in invest in compared to Boston metropolitan area like Worcester, Springfield, or Brockton. The reasons being better cash flow and potential for growth.  

1. I would appreciate any insight form anyone familiar with the MA real estate on these cities or any other cities in or around MA.

2. Are there any online resources that I can use to evaluate a city? For example to check their population growth, job growth, economic trends, occupancy, availability, rental rates, days on market, etc. so I can compare cities?

3. Is there any user friendly deal analyzer that I could use?

Any tips or resources is appreciated!
