Closest to you is the Eastern Mass REIA out of Rockland.  

For example, on veteran home loans to even rural home loans, the forst page of requirements state no home income generation activity.Landlords and developers will make mass bucks, creating real mix use areas and adding trains, subways, monorails.Homes should have fences for privacy and safety, regardless if mix use or not.

The feedback on here is helpful, and I have still been on the hunt around Mass.

@Patrick CoffeyPat, I don’t own section 8 in Mass however I do get applications for vouchers that are offering less than my rent price so they don’t work out.

At least in this part of the country that is how it goes (Northeast Area, I’m in Mass. more specifically).

-Mass. 7 Greenville-Anderson-Mauldin, S.C. 8 Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, Wash. 9 Worcester, Mass.

As far as what is critical mass for making a profit?

We use equity and debt (A&D loans) to purchase land, pay soft costs for zoning/entitlements, site plan design and engineering plus hard costs for mass grading, installing underground utilities, retention ponds, streets, curb and gutter, etc.

If you are a first time home buyer and going through Mass Housing for a multifamily to house hack, I still think that is doable.Not sure how familiar you are with those areas, but some neighborhoods in those towns are lower than C class. 

A mass showing creates higher demand and forces your good prospects to take action based on scarcity.
