You can find them on meetup.com.I know I work with properties with ARVs of 60k and more.The areas you put are good but a bit speculative and probably a little bit harder to find a good deal.

Is it based upon pure speculation regarding market appreciation?

@Chris Edgell no one can answer this question for you but an estate attorney and everyone else's comments are just speculation, so that would be who I'd ask for planning purposes.

There might be some opportunity there with Whole Foods going in but I would call it speculation...

Which most true investors agree is nothing more than speculative investing.If you look at the lowest ranking cities on this chart you will find that just like Fall River and New Bedford, these cities are providing the highest and most stable “Return on Investment” in regards to monthly cashflow.In Real Estate Cashflow is king and as an investor, Fall River and New Bedford currently have the most stable Cash on Cash potential. in the situation of another market crash, these properties are less likely to be as effected as the more appreciation focused markets like Boston.I hope this helps and if you are serious about investing here on the southcoast feel free to reach out and we can discuss your goals and the strategies that are working in this current market.Cheers to our success!

As a speculation play...... only you would know the answer to that but you will be out of pocket to supliment your tennats rent.

Unless you are in the market on a daily basis there is always a bit of speculation investing in a new area.

However, Connecticut as a whole is seeing a large population decrease as people are leaving the state to avoid high taxes, and there is fear in the speculation of adding tolls to our highways. 

You speculate on appreciation.

I'm also speculating that rent control will bring rents up overall.
