We have been working to save up to purchase a primary residence (in Boston or the surrounding suburbs), however, since Massachusetts is currently one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, I’m wondering if it would be more beneficial to purchase my first investment property (out-of-state) first (instead of waiting for home prices to hopefully drop a little in Mass).2.

We are already surrounded on three sides by urban zoned homes.My neighbors and I have been approached by two individuals, one is a neighbor who is a real estate agent, and the other one a friend of a neighbor, who works with a real estate attorney; both individuals asked us to join them in working with the 5-6 developers they have approached.

You can really judge a person by who they surround themself with and their team were all great.

@Brandon Brown I have done this many times on buildings where it is required by code in Berwyn and surrounding suburbs.

Or you moved or you're helping a relative who lives in the area of the storage location.Summary:Although most discussions surround a 1 to 3 mile radius.

I'll look into how much surrounding properties have increased in the past few years. #2 is a great idea as well! 

I’ve seen some investors focus on surrounding areas or neighborhoods with more value-add potential, as they can offer better cash flow options.Curious to know if you’re also considering multi-family properties in the area?

Some surrounding suburbs still allow it, but the only way to have a new STR approved in Waco city limits is if it's in multifamily or commercial zoning.

It seems like a great opportunity—it’s located in a charming, small community surrounded by the national forest, just minutes from a major ski resort.

This Spring the inspection scheduler "Beverly" retired and the whole program moved to a 3rd party contractor out of California who now handles scheduling (with the expected miscommunication and inability to make quick decisions resulting).I have been a supporter of LMHA and the Section 8 housing choice voucher program here in Toledo, Lucas County, Maumee, Perrysburg, and surrounding areas but the program really is now costing far more than we get out of it.
