I currently rent in Boston and I'm looking to get started in REI.  

Fuel prices have a deeper effect on the economy, because all goods and services are transported.

Still close enough to the out of staters (students from Boston, CT, NYC), strong demand, parents guarantee the rent, and less zoning or none at all.If you have further questions or want me to put you in touch with any contacts there, just let me know.- Tom

You can get some converted 4 units for about the same money that can produce maybe 4% cash on cash, which is not worth even considering.In the Boston area the same 2 family is $400K with $3000 in rent but still negative.These properties are priced for owner occupiers looking for help on the rent.Thanks.

And around here, Boston, you can't just fill it in, because it becomes a soft spot with the limited drainage (even if it leaks).

The thought was to run the system in tandem with my oil heat, I found that I was using the split system almost 100% in a difficult Boston winter.

The company specializes in upholstery mainly for transportation and government contracts.

Riverfront, transport link, something.And the buildings themselves would need to be both interesting and not too large.  

As a renter in the Boston area, I agree with those that say in-unit washer and dryer commands higher rent.
