There are a few markets in the US where you are forced to look outside like LA, SF, NYC, Boston etc, but even for Chicago investors it does not make sense to invest in Milwaukee due to the added cost and complexity

Do I give up access to transportation, restaurants, cultural activities, doctors, emergency medical care, religious and business activities, vet care and maybe more, to live in the country on my ranch or on the beach in a beautiful country, or do I keep access to all those things and live in the city? 

Kansas City is the “Heart of America” a transportation hub in the center of the country with a small city feel and the big city attractions of art, culture, fine dining, and professional sports teams.

You'll likely have to expand out further - 40-60m outside of Boston to get more cash flow. 

The Economic Development there is focused on building competitive regional talent, diversifying the regional economy, transforming Montgomery's image and building diverse community capacity.Major economic drivers to the area include Hyundai manufacturing, Maxwell & Gunter Air Force Base, major Amazon distribution, Alabama State Capitol, Alfa Insurance, Kinpak, H2 Pharma, Dollar General transport/logistics, Dow Chemical, and Conner Industries to name a few. 

We managed to navigate it, but it was a lesson in the importance of understanding both federal and state regulations.Given your location in Boston, Massachusetts, it's especially pertinent to consult with a qualified intermediary or tax professional familiar with both federal and Massachusetts state laws to ensure a smooth exchange process.

I am located in Boston, MA and may be interested in including my furnished unit.Thank you,Jesus 

Whether it’s a multifamily in Boston, a value-add deal in Worcester, or an investment property in Lowell, the key takeaway is the same: the listing price is not the purchase price.Here’s an example I use with clients: If I sell a 3-family for $650,000 and list it at $599,900, suddenly, it looks like it sold for $50k over asking—“Wow, it must be a great deal!”

I live abroad, but I will be in Portugal in December and I'm planning to visit Entroncamento and talk with local real estate brokers and other locals to better understand the rental market there, to have more information for my analysis.I'm looking to locations close to Lisbon and with good infrastructure (transports, social, manufacturing, etc) with prices under 60k, because I think in 5 to 10 years, they can have  appreciation between 20% to 40% in some cases.Thats my experience with investing in Barreiro, In less than a year I have aprecciation around 20%-25% in 2 apartments that I bought under market value in the beginning of 2020 and rents are around the 1% of acquisition value.I also plan to talk with some banks to understand better what refinancing solutions are available in the market.Regards,Mauro

Hello all,I'm looking to do my first single family fix and flip in the Greater Boston/Worcester area.
