I am slowly going crazy with how expensive Massachusetts is and I am leaning towards looking at cheaper foreclosure properties.I understand there is some risk to this but I am beginning to think this is the only option I will have because of how fast the market is growing.Thank you for any insight you may have!

That will be the best spot to meet an investor friendly agent in person or at least meet other investors in your markets that can help connect you to the right agents.

If they do need financing, then speak with your lender about their new build financing options. 

Your best option is to terminate the current manager and switch to one with better processes and communication.

So far NNY Homes has stood out as the best available option.

(This is all coming from a VERY tenant friendly state - Massachusetts)Just my two cents.

You probably have a lot of friends or relatives with money to invest and an interest in real estate, but they have no clue what to do.

When I have some free time, I'll research other options that won't cost a fortune for the small guy.

Yes, House Hacking seems like the most ideal option when considering my first investment (open to other forms of ownership, such as live-in flips as well).

Would this be the ideal market, or are there other rental options we should explore?
