Too expensive to even try?

hey guys, I'm new to the area and also new to real estate in general, and I guess I wanted to start off by saying hi! but I also was wondering if some of the well seasoned pro's wanted to step into and give there two cents on Boston, from what I can tell, it's a very rental heavy place because of all of us college kids, but it also seems like its very expensive, so I was just curious how does everyone go about finding deals in such an expensive market? do you guys just go out of state or what?

You can always go further out and find something
