I have been very successful in helping clients acquire Airbnb homes and creating themes and uniqueness for their homes to be more appealing and marketable.

I'm a local realtor and would love to connect and chat about the local market.

You can achieve or even exceed your current cash flow in markets that are more landlord-friendly than Boston.

The partners between a realtor like myself (proficient in renovation experience), a general contractor, usually a loan consultant to support the buyer and the lender, (along with a buyer and seller of course) are the parties involved.I come across so many homes perfect for 203k or HomeStyle buyers, on and off-market, it isn't funny.

You need income to qualify for loans, you can learn how to manage rentals well (something most landlords never do), you will figure out which communities/properties make the best investments, can earn an above-average paycheck, and may even find some investment properties before they hit the market.

Plus, you already know the market, which gives you an edge.

Kay Properties are very good at marketing and put out great materials. 

With a HELOC being around 9% I'd probably be paying more in interest than the money would make in the stock market.

In fact, just finished one that I have yet to put on the market. 

Find someone who's doing what it is you want to do in the market you want to do it in and bring them value to learn.
