Curious about the market in MA. I

CPA, CFP, MAI, CFA?

It will take me longer to scale but I also know that MA is an amazing state when it comes to appreciation. 

@Karl Kauper Sadly MA is a very tenant friendly state. 

Last two loans I did they did an Mai at no charge and they forgot a floor plan and had to get a one off for that one and no charge.. only thing we pay for is title insurance and escrow fee and property tax's and transfer tax if any.

Ahora, viviendo en Nueva York, quiero expandir mi red de contactos aquí y conectar con personas que compartan la misma pasión.

when underwriting a property a good rule of thumb would be to set aside ~5% gross income for each Cap Ex, maintenance, and vacancy. (15% total)I dont know much of the market in TX but in central MA i work with a lot of investors that are interested in acquiring multi family properties so that's mostly what i deal in. 

(Lot's are roughly going to be .5 of a acer in north Grafton Ma)I do have a few concerns: one lot has a FEMA line running through it, two lots are next to a railway, and the terrain is hilly.

Now remember, wife as MAI Appraiser, I have seen these bonkers 3.25 cap's and we both just shake our head's saying "what in the hell are they thinking?".

For commercial properties, we require appraisals performed by appraisers holding MAI designation.
