I'm considering buying a rental property in Pacific or Mission Beach area to rent out to international students. 

Wife is @ Mission & surrounded with great people.

Virtually all the units in the vicinity (Mission Beach) are also STR (wish we could have bought more at the time - we sold our only rental at that time to be able to purchase this RE (only local investment RE that we have ever sold but it was necessary). 

I've been reading the BiggerPockets newsletter and forums for a few months, and currently on a mission to listen through the amazing podcast episodes.

Their mission is to provide housing to multiple time felons at an affordable rate.

So mission accomplished.

I can say the hottest areas such as Cambridge, Somerville, and the south end/mission hill areas of boston have been pretty consistent the past few years with some decline in rents just due to the massive levels of rental development going on.
