Looking for a house hacking property near Boston MA.

Hey guys. 

I just got accepted to MCPHS medical school in Boston, Massechusetts. What I want to do before September (when the school year starts) is find something like a 4 or 5 bedroom house and then live in one of the bedrooms and rent the other bedrooms out to other medical students. Personally I am not sure what investing out of state looks like, and I would truly feel incredulous if I could get help from any of you amazing friends here on bigger pockets! Maybe you know someone who knows someone? Let me know! 

Thanks!

Hi @Felix Lilly, Congrats! I went to school at Northeastern so very familiar with the area. I am an agent and 2x house hacker just north of Boston. Always willing to help where I can! How familiar are you with that area? Single families are much less common, it's mostly multifamilies. Definitely a hefty price tag but if you can get something maybe on mission hill, you could easily rent it out to students forever. Really depends on the vibes you are looking for! Feel free to connect.

    Hey @Felix Lilly! 

    Congrats on medical school! Albeit a challenging road ahead, but very rewarding. A fellow clinician & investor myself. Best of luck with school!

    I remember listening to a BP Rookie epsiode that sounds like it would help you!

    I think they mention investing in a nearby smaller city with more affordability, but great investment indicators. Providence maybe?

    I hope you make some good connections here and they help guide you on your journey. 

    Take care
