Post: Two-Family in Boston

Hi - 

I am looking to purchase a 2-family in the Boston area. More specifically; West Roxbury, Brookline, Newton, Arlington, Sommerville.

I am a qualified buyer and looking to close in the summer time-frame. I would be an owner occupant of 1 half of the home. If you are selling or have recommendations, that would be great!

Thanks,

Serge

Hi - 

I am curious to see what kind of analysis folks do to identify cities/towns where they believe are good places to buy and hold or flip. Any insight would be amazing!

Thanks,

Serge

Hi,

I am new to this forum - but thought I would give it a try - since I've really enjoyed reading lots of the posts on here.

Here is my real estate history:

I own 3 properties around the Boston area. I live in one and rent the other 2. Of the 2 rentals, one is a full time rental and has been for about 8 years and the other is a vacation rental (ski and lake) - which I use for a good portion of the year. 

I am currently looking to rent out my primary residence full time and purchase a 2-family to live in 1 half and rent the other. 

While I have slowly built a bit of a portfolio (part-time), I am very naive when it comes to things insurance, LLC, trust type stuff. While I obviously have basic coverage on all 3 properties, I am concerned that if something happens - I may be at risk personally. But, I really don't know where to begin.

If you were in my position how would you structure the business?

Thank so much,

Serge
