They have deals you can look at with better margins and less competition compared to wholesale deals. 

@Adam Peralto More & more owners are posting here on BP about their rentals sitting vacant too long.Which means owners aren't paying attention to the rental market - which is slowing, causing Days On Market (DOM) to increase:(Take a look at the graph below from ShowMojo, comparing average DOM for 2018-2024.DOM are now about 40% longer than they were 2 years ago.Many owners also don't seem to be aware of real estate market fundamentals, such as seasonal effects:1) After September, when kids go back to school, there's a noticeable dip in activity in both the sales & rentals.2) After Halloween, there's another noticeable dip.

This seems very appealing due to the monthly saving cost when compared to a heloc or other loan options.

I'd recommend looking at property taxes on county website and comparing this to taxes on closing docs to see if it's been prorated or if it's the full amount. 

Meanwhile, I could rent a comparable home for under $2,500.

I have lived in both places but if comparing price and travel time I don't know which one to decide on.

It took a while, and there were some fees involved, but it was totally manageable compared to what I would’ve paid with an attorney.

We charge about $1000 over comparable properties.

I'm curious to hear about your experience here in Boston - I know the Seaport looks like it's own independent city compared to 5 years ago!

I’m noticing that rent rates are surprisingly high compared to the somewhat competitive and affordable housing pricing.Single-family homes, some new construction are going for mid 300’s and rent is usually $2500 or higher.
