[Chris Roche]

Hello,  

   I am Chris and I live in Roslindale, MA.  I am interested in investing.  I would like to buy a owner occupied rental.  I am also interested in flipping and commercial property.  

Also, I am thinking about getting my real estate license to work part-time.  As, I am a full time teacher now.  I am just looking for added cash flow and real estate has always interested me!.

Hey Chris. Great Name!

I'm from Medfield, which is a suburb about 30 minutes out of Boston. I can tell you first hand, that if you're looking to start investing with rental property (buy and hold)... Boston is going to be a difficult place to do so. Down payment requirements on expensive properties lead to barriers to entry. It's hard to break into an expensive market. Head a bit west or towards the cape and you'll find some more affordable options. I'm currently looking at Worcester County
