Hi @Leon Jamison,I can recommend my contractor. my project was $420K, 7months, funded through 203K. we went slightly over schedule (10months),mainly due to a few failed/ repeat inspections, but we were able ton finish under budget.TBH, Im actually doing a second multi family reno project in the heights, New York Ave with the same contractor beginning March 2025.Anyways, you're bound to have issues when working with any contractor.

.: Quote from @Gi'angelo Bautista: @Travis Main unfortunately, there is no local REIA here.  

If you are looking to passively invest I would recommend finding a company that is vertically integrated so you have one main point of contact from start to finish.

As a multifamily specialist there, I do mainly two types of housing: affordable (DSS, Section 8, CC), and students.Binghamton University is a massive state school that's outpacing the higher-ups' expectations for growth, and has been for a few years now.

Now on the flip side. there was a good post on BP facebook from a syndicator that went to a conference with a bunch of syndicators and one of the main points being brought up by the investors in the audience is the Poor communications that is coming out of the syndicators these days.

I've mainly had my eyes on the Northshore area as well Revere, Malden, Saugus, etc. 

Construction is mainly CMU, Concrete, and Steel (at least for my projects), and there is a bottle neck of those resources as only few supply the area.

The main data to watch is some stuff you're already watching, but probably some others you are not.

This sewer line runs under 2 of the other subdivided lots that were intended to have houses on them about 400' away and ties into a city main 1 block away from the houseOct 2008 - I purchase the home and everything is great, assuming all is per plan.2010 - Developer sells one of the lots that my sewer runs under to the water district for a future clean water well site. 

My business partner and I mainly just work with investors here and we work with first time investors all the time.
