:@Merritt S.And just to be perfectly clear that this is not a political fixation with me, that I'm not doing this because I'm registered with one political party or another and believe in either of their agendas, I wholeheartedly believe that climate change is caused by human activity and that we're most likely headed toward a mass extinction event because of it.

I did it by not following the masses.

Mass ave and the Highway are the western borders where properties are pretty expensive.  

I can't help you with areas to target in Mass but welcome to BiggerPockets and good luck investing!

Even so, if you can stand out, make your piece look professional and like it's not mass-produced, and hit them at the right time, you'll get some deals. 

The market is inflated in my area so I’d like to obtain an address list of property owners in my area that don’t currently have their property listed for sale and send a mass mailing expressing my interest in purchasing their property.

Dhar Rawal, I got involved on this thread only because it was the headline of the mass email from BP.  

Just be aware of the higher taxes on trusts (35% tax b4 $10,000 b4 distribution to beneficiaries), & with the exception of The Mass. business trust, trusts per se are not designed to be in a business or a trade, such as flipping properties or finding yourself inadvertently achieving 'dealer status'.
