I recently became a REALTOR after spending most of my life in digital marketing and advertising.

Deals in 2013I've never stopped buying and have been consistently been buying double digit properties for something like 21 years in a row.MLSFSBOCourthouse foreclosure salesSolictationAbandoned propertiesNot for sale propertiesReferralsWord of MouthREOsHUDsNeighbors of existing propertiesSubdividing to create new lotsAll properties must have positive cashflow, I look for properties in good neighborhoods with low crime and good schools.

When Ben Bernanke debases the currency (which was a death penalty capital offense in the 19th century), he is creating digital dollars at the speed of light without any distilled work to support the new dollars.

As we continue on into a new digital age - I have begun to notice more trends in virtual real estate as well as using Web 3.0 in new real estate marketing/purchasing trends.

Like vacancies are double digits bad.

I think 5-10% single-digit returns are fine by those large groups. 

Some houses along Palisade and Park have views of NYC which is obviously very desirable.I also really like the area around the Monastery (18th through 21st streets between Summit and West)--it's quiet and neighborhoody, or just south on 14th or 15th (also near an old church).There are pockets throughout the city that are nicer than others, but the only "not as nice" areas are probably in the single digits along Bergenline or West St. 

Many of these investors are not looking for return on their capital (as evidenced by low single-digit implied cap rates in these properties and record prices/square foot) but rather return OF their capital, as Boston is internationally viewed as one of the most stable real estate markets in world.
