Welcome @Blake Denman! Sounds like you are on the right track. There is no doubt that the market and prices are crazy in the area. I have helped a couple people in BP with their purchases and would be happy to talk more with you about what you are looking for or just answer any questions about the process in general. Best of luck!

Welcome @Doug Danoff! It definitely is a tough market to navigate and there is always a lot to continuously learn. BP is a great resource and the forums are a great place to ask any questions.

I agree it is tough to start in this market, but it doesn't hurt to analyze and research as much as possible to see if something works. If you have any questions or want to discuss the current market in any of those areas you listed, feel free to reach out! Best of luck!

Welcome @Samuel Brand

It's a very exciting journey and there is a lot to continually be learning. The forums here are a great resource to look at and ask questions. I grew up and currently work just outside of Boston so I'm happy to connect and discuss the market any time!

Hi @Christopher C. Evans

Yes it is a tough market to find good deals but they are out there. The competition in the market and on the specific home will help dictate what price range you will have to look in to have a strong offer. I would start off closer to the middle of your budget just in case there are any unforeseen costs you could have missed and to account for any issues that might arise during the process. It is great to invest but doesn't make sense to do it if you are struggling after the purchase. I guess if something was an unbelievable deal and location, you could shoot more for the top of your budget but definitely be careful with stretching yourself too thin. If you have any questions about the local market or specific locations in the Greater Boston area, feel free to reach out.
