@Andrew Freed 

Thank you so much, Andrew! I will certainly be in touch.

Pints and Properties is a fantastic name, btw.  

@Jeremy Nault

Thank you for the encouragement! I'll have to check out the area. Congrats on 2 house hacks!! 

@Jason Wray, I hadn't thought of that... I figured I'd stay in-state for my first investment but the 0 sales tax is huge! Thanks for your response. 

Hey all! My name is Peter and I'm a newbie from Cape Cod.

I'm getting ready to take the plunge. Specifically, I'm looking to house hack with a multifamily. Don't know much about the North Shore, so I'm looking south and west. 

Places I'm looking: 

- New Bedford (they're building a commuter rail)

- Fall River (Amazon built a facility)

- Greenfield (Cool spot and decent location)

- Worcester (Great triple-deckers)

- Springfield 

Things I do know: 

- Good deals are hard to find right now, but not impossible 

- MA laws are tricky and tenant-focused, but with scrupulous tenant screening, I will be fine.

- Multifamilies are hard to come by in Plymouth, Middleboro, etc

Honestly, any advice would be so greatly appreciated! I don't know what I don't know.

If anyone knows anything about these markets in 2022 or knows about any meetups/local REI groups I'm all ears.

Chatting with a mortgage lender tomorrow. So ready to make this thing happen! 

Congrats, man!
