Newbie Bostonian living in Texas but buying in Boston.
After sitting on the sidelines for several years, I recently plunged into the Boston market snatching up 3 condos, 1 single family, and am currently renovating a multifamily. All within 4 months. I am risk averse and have adopted a buy and hold philosophy primarily targeting students and professionals. The Boston market is indeed tough, but I think I have selected the right properties to start with. Biggerpockets has helped to assuage many of the fears that I had prior to taking the plunge. Great to be here.

Born and raised in South End, but educated in Baltimore. Been living in Texas for 10 plus years. I inherited a two family in Dorchester that I am trying to fix up and rent one of the units with family living in the other unit. I have a 4 BR in Back bay/Kenmore square, 3 BR in the south end, 2 BR in the Fenway and a 5BR in Allston. I use a property manager because I have zero appetite for talking to renters. I chose Boston because I know the city well, and Texas property taxes are high. I am 4 months into the roller coaster ride. Wish me luck.
