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.

Purchase price: $70,000 Cash invested: $48,500 Sale price: $192,000 Completed our first flip in Canton Ohio.

I’m starting off wanting to get into a primary residence that I plan to house hack and then figure out the next move into investment properties but that’s down the roadwith all that said, are there other ways that im not thinking of to 1.

If the sale is for $600K then you need to purchase $600K of replacement investment real estate. 

@Kaleb JohnsonRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Quote from @Brian Dela Cruz: @John ChapmanTypically, this would be treated as a sale, unless you reinvested the insurance proceeds into another rental property within two years (by either rebuilding or replacing), you can defer the tax under IRC Section 1033. 

Figuring out the true cost will heavily depend on the type of dig down, depth, and total square footage. 

I used Hostify and you can work it into the management system to figure and charge all of that for you.

The paid version for sales has a lot more is not crazy expensive for a SaaS.
