Here is how to do it in any market 1) block must I repeat must be desirable for the area (one or two vacant buildings and no bad elements)2) good property management (treat your tenants like hotel guests)3) buy well high yield for higher risk4) solid construction with lots of upgrades keeps tenants long term.

I have two new builds within a few blocks of my home and they are still sitting vacant from summer 2016 and haven't had a price reduction. 

I ran comps of properties within 1 mile that have sold within 6 months and two within one block currently for sale.  

@Jose CintronThe rent to own business with Sellers or with tenant buyers take some talent and some knowledgeWholesaling is pretty straightforward as far as finding a motivated seller and finding a cash buyer and putting them togetherIf you're assigning lease options I highly recommend you get an RMLO to prequalify your tenant buyers as per the Dodd Frank and the safe actThis way most of your tenant Buyers will get mortgagesThere's also a component of credit improvement to help increase FICO scores if DTI is OKI know Massachusetts really well I grew up in Arlington@Mike Hurney@Shaun ReillyMike and Shaun are been around the block quite a few timesBeing licensed allows you to show houses and market house you do not own to tenant buyers in MassachusettsOnce  you get caught acting as a real estate agent, you get a fine and you get a record against the department of real estate in MassachusettsThen  it's difficult for you to get a licenseIf you want to buy on subject to or wrap mortgage without a license I think you're in the clear because you're acting as a principal and you're getting on titleIf you just get your license and act as a principal you're fine, and also disclose to the seller that you are licensed but acting as a principalIf you want to be hardheaded and do lease options without license, please don't complain when you can not do business in  Massachusetts or Rhode Island or Connecticut or New Hampshire or Vermont, New Englanders talk to each other

There will be obstacles and road blocks.

When I opened your profile I saw that it was blocked.

oh forgot you can always go back and separate them later, then you might need a survey if they aren't in plates lots and blocks, good luck,

Parts of it are very nice and one or two blocks away, very iffy.

Another ditto to @Jenkins Ramon picking a fight with the DNS, which is what I'd assume they'll think with the no trespass, signs, contesting stuff, etc is basically like committing "RE investor suicide', you're FAR better off getting a good rep with them as someone who when they buy a place, the DNS automatically knows it is good news for the block, neighborhood and city.
