@Andrew Laing One thing to keep in mind is how "tenant friendly" a particular state is and I have no ideas where Massachusetts falls on the spectrum.  

This is tough because you could actually have the $ to invest but all the other parameters are not there for the accreditation.I've reached out to other experienced people to talk about JVing and have found opposite ends of the spectrum.

Just Use Rent O meter for free once and price towards the upper range of the spectrum if the unit is nice. 

And some are on the other end of the spectrum and want to just hand the keys to the kingdom over to a turnkey management company and just collect the money (they pay a premium for this however). 

On the other end of the spectrum, I have put a place on the market, and it was rented within 1 day. 

, geo won't matter as much if you can create value by fixing, increasing rents and exiting, but then again depending on yr goals, you may want to be further on the income side of the income/appreciation spectrum, Ben Leybovitch (Podcast guest) does a good financial analysis of multi's fyi

That is great to hear, better than I thought actually, I had the impression that it was on the "lower end" spectrum of neighborhoods.

On Denver, it all depends on where you are on that spectrum of cash flow vs. appreciation.

What I have come to find out as well is that if you go the other side of the spectrum and place smaller amounts of cash in the bank over a period of time, can also result in you being reported.

House will be on the higher end of the rental spectrum, close to downtown Durham.
