Home prices are high, and I think they'll soften up over the next year as forbearances end and owners are forced to sell (not enough owners are underwater to force mass foreclosures, but even a wave of sales will lead to lower prices).

My brother is looking to purchase his first home here in Mass and I'm educating him on the multi-family route so he can house hack.  

I need help looking for a investor friendly company's in Springfield , Mass.

Hi @Zach Keenan,Welcome, I'm a north shore Mass guy as well and have just gotten started on this site.

I know that's true in Mass and Maine where I'm licensed, but I believe that's true in all 50 states.Are you represented by an agent of your own? 

Personally it's writing to the masses so it's not something that appeals to me heavily.I get much more out of sharing knowledge on the forums and answering questions.

I'm of the few, it seems, who will probably continue working once I've reached "critical mass" since I love what I do so much.  

I have been averaging 1 deal every 4-6 weeks for the past 2 years now, and i have not seen a 4 family that meets my criteria, they have so much competition driving values really high. you want to play where the masses play, probably the most competative of all investment real estate. 

That's my main reason for this post...want to observe what more experienced investors do when evaluating the property, so I can develop a method that has worked for the masses (if such a method exists), and not repeat mistakes already made by those who have already made them.
