Does Providence (or any place back east) have rental opps?

[Lucas Bernard]

Hey folks, I'm originally from the Boston area and spent many a summers in Westerly, RI, so I'm familiar with Providence to a degree. I keep seeing it, as well as Worcester, pop up on sites as a top cash flowing city. Is that just a bunch of malarkey or are there actually opportunities back east? I feel like up until now I have been directed towards the Midwest or down South, and been told to steer clear away from back home. Cheers!
