Talking about poor children and the such is just designed to make me feel bad.

Let's talk about your options.

I think good flippers talk about something like 80-20 -- they do well on 80% of their projects.

@Matthew Drouin I haven't even dreamed of doing what I'm talking about but research the subject I've been brought to various YouTube video offer case studies & case analysis which would have me to believe deals can be done by lone individuals without any capital of their own being spent.

You can get in and talk to the mayor or city council to get a feel for what is going on plus voice your opinions. 

I hadn't read the Baltimore story before...wow.Hi Sathiya, some thoughts: - attend in person meet ups in the Boston area to talk to other investors who buy locally and out of state to get their feedback and maybe consider looking within a 2 to 3 hour drive. - cash flow is difficult now with long term rentals even if you pick markets that have lower purchase prices than Boston.

I'd love to talk and get you an offer on it!

If you want to talk more in depth feel free to reach out and we can discuss more. 

We have talked about things such as rent by the room and acknowledge that the operating model will likely be very different while living in the property vs. when we move out.I think the point you made about assumable loans is very helpful to get into a property you might not otherwise be able to afford.

We are talking, underwritten properties that pencil out.
