Lenders do not look at your personal income or debt and will use the current market rent or lease (up to 120% if the lease is significantly higher than market rent or vice versa) as qualifying income.

I see off market properties weekly, talk to investors both new and seasoned daily and I am actively buying myself.

Try networking locally with HML's who know the market. 

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.

Seller has decided to walk with our EM and put the house back on the market.

Look at their marketing strategy.

I won't be out-marketing anyone. 

I plan to manage the properties myself until it conflicts with my regular job.I would appreciate any advice on these markets to ensure success and connect with local investors.    

@Marc Anthony MacielIf you're diving into house hacking and multifamily investing in Southern California, you’ll want to focus on markets like Riverside, San Bernardino, Ontario, and Long Beach—areas with strong rental demand and solid appreciation potential.
