@Ozzy Sirimsi I am curious what you mean by "I could not even get out of car". Is the hood really that bad over there? Please shed some light on what you mean.

@Darnell Kuykendall Hey Darnell! Thank you for reaching out. I want to start in Massachusetts but if for some reason I am having trouble getting started here, I would be open to exploring out of state investing. I know there is a great book on it. I am curious as to what sparked your interest in out of state investing. Feel free to shoot me a private message if you want!

@Paul Carrier Yes, I am interested in the mastermind/accountability call. Please keep me posted! I went to the latest Pints and Properties. I will connect.

@Roger Evans Yes, let's connect regarding good neighborhoods to invest in. I will reach out. 

@Jonathan Bombaci Thanks!

@Michael H. Thanks Mike. I will PM you. 

@Andrew Freed Thanks Andrew for the reply. I grew up in Dorchester and I am very comfortable with this market but I have cash flow concerns here. That is why I am willing to spread my wings and see what other cities have to offer. I will connect. Let's keep in touch regarding Worcester. 

Hello Everyone,

I am new to BiggerPockets and a new investor from the Boston, MA area. I have been catching up on all the BiggerPockets podcast episodes, set up my alerts, read the Ultimate Beginner's Guide, and have been reading along this forum for a couple of months now. I currently own a property here in the Dorchester neighborhood but looking to venture out to the following cities for multi-family buy and hold investments: Fall River, New Bedford, Worcester, and Fitchburg (in that order). I am not too familiar with any of these areas as I was born and raised in Boston but willing to take the hour drive in either direction to learn the landscape.   

It looks like Fall River/New Bed. offers the best market for cash on cash ROI and the new train line coming can potentially add to the cities economic development (although I am still concerned about appreciation in value). I have also read great things about some Worcester pockets.

If people can give their opinions about investing in these four cities that would be greatly appreciated (new economic developments, safer neighborhoods to invest, availability of contractors/property managers, etc) . I would also like to join any virtual meetups in these locations to build my network. Please provide info below. Thank you! Cheers!
