We will be investing 50/50.

Hi @Lina Truong Welcome to MTR investing.

I am wondering if anyone has good places to research affordable yet healthy/upcoming markets to invest in MA. looking to get into my first househack/203k so just trying to figure out where to look.

That being said, there’s nothing wrong with investing in blue collar areas but I prefer to invest in the ones that have a higher degree of owner occupancy because the residents of those areas care about where they live and have deeper roots.  

My name is Wes and I live about an hour north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.Looking to get into real-estate investing with long term rentals, BRRR, and House hacking.Currently looking to also find other other local people to chat to about real-estate and how to get started in our currently price inflated Ontario market.Let me know if you're in my area!!

With careful planning and local insights, Richmond can be a solid addition to your investment portfolio.Good luck!

Live under your means and start thinking about investing in Real Estate.In your position the thought of finding a duplex to house hack, live in one side and rent the other. 

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

I want to purchase my sisters house as my first investment.

I have been reading and listening to real estate investing books everyday for a while now and it is something i want to pursue.
