Aspiring New Investor - Boston MA

[Michael Rosenston]

Hi Everyone,

I'm 22 years old and am excited to get started in real estate. I grew up in Illinois and have been living and working in Boston since March 2016. I want to begin buy and hold, rental investing. Living in Boston makes that a difficult. I cannot afford afford property in the city and surrounding suburbs and don't think it would yield well anyway. So my question for everyone is: 

Should I look to invest

• elsewhere in MA such as Worcester 
• out of state, but nearby such as Providence, RI
• or any where in the country I can find a deal?

Keep in mind, I'm a beginner who hasn't done this before. However, I have taken the time to do my homework, read up, and go through beginner guides on this site and others.

Thanks,

Michael
