Appreciation in City? Or CF in the burbs

[Brendon Kerrigan]

Hey BP Community - I am really torn on this dilemma between accepting lower CF in Boston but experiencing more appreciation over time, or just move my money to the burbs or lesser appreciation areas for more cashflow.  Now I know a lot of comments will say it depends on your goals, but at the point in the market, I do feel as though prices are inflated so maybe purchasing a property in the city isn't the best idea because we will likely experience a market downturn soon, and then it'll take that much longer for appreciation to do its work.

Thoughts? Love to get a conversation going on where the market is, especially with residential rates going up over 3% for the first time since July.
