Southbridge and Webster are cheaper as well.There will be obvious trade-offs in terms of location / amenities and price but i have seen good traction in all of the aforementioned locations.I'm looking for househacks for clients around central Mass and while they're not impossible to find by any means units in Worcester are typically trading at $225-250.

They also only charge 1.5% realtor commission for the selling side and obviously nothing for the buying side.

Look for a market that is growing in population and jobs so that you can get in the way of obvious appreciation. 

It's obviously not a ton of money but how do you guys recommend me investing with it?

Obviously been a rental for a long time, so lots of signs of neglect (but not gone so far that it was falling to ruin).

Obviously the answer is yes when it comes down to the cash flow, but I am particularly wondering if HCOL/high property tax areas are places you would cross off the list entirely.

With that being said I'll obviously be focusing on out of state.I know Ohio is mentioned a lot around here, specifically Columbus, and I'm an Ohio State alum, so that would be pretty cool to secure my first property in Ohio.

@Kevin Sobilo Yes I have all of those numbers from them, but obviously they can't give me my CoC or IRR.

Obviously, it's not beneficial to every property/owner, but we do see many investors benefit from it.

The signs are obvious when a tenant is about to leave unexpectedly.
