I am looking into buying a rental property in the Boston area (it does not need to actually be in Boston) but I want to be able to rent to students and young professionals, as I plan to do a micro-unit, coliving type arrangement, and they will be my target market.

Wife and I are looking for our first investment property, thanks to bigger pockets and Robert Kiosaki, with a target buy of 6 months.

And much easier to run a gas line to the second floor than duct runs.Another benefit to these units is that they are super easy to work on (not many parts), so that could save you a call to an HVAC technician.All my rentals are single floor, and these work terrific for anything less than 900 square feet. 

Best case scenario if you get targeted by HUD, you win the lawsuit, but you are out hundreds of thousands of dollars that you spent on attorneys. 

It can be easier to get funds if you can show you have a bunch in an area that you are working on.

First off maybe it would be easier to read about others success stories so if there is a way I could be pointed in the right direction that would be great.

what tools i need to target big multi fams?

I think you will be disappointed, I doubt investing in Vegas would be any easier, especially if you don't know the area. 

Pick out your target market (it sounds like Montana, but you may want to narrow it down further). 

In addition, you can send out marketing campaigns to your target market.
