Husband and Wife Looking for Multi-Family Property in Mass

[Eder D.]

Hello!

My wife and I are planning our move to Massachusetts from North Carolina, we're thinking we may want to get a multi-family home, live in one unit and rent out the other instead of renting an apartment or house that someone else owns. Any advice for looking for multi-family homes within Mass or living in Mass in general? We want somewhere close to Boston (maximum 30-40min train ride away) and a good place for having a rental unit with steady tenants. 

Thank you :)
