@Tom De Napoli our strategy is to focus on neighborhoods in the suburbs with walkable main streets and easy access to public transportation.

That is just my buy box, but I do know other people that invest in expensive/highly appeciating markets like Boston and get no where near the 1% rule.

We are selling our home in sd  august and relocating to boston.

I've been to Boston a handful of times and have come to develop a connection with MA in general... always been curious how the comparison between MA RE investing and other states weigh?

In strong market like Boston Metro you also have natural value appreciation working for you. 

Looking for recommendations for General Contractor(s) who have worked with/understand the 203K renovation loan in Quincy, Massachusetts (just outside Boston).Have a property under contract.

We are also in a very "hot" and highly competitive market of Boston Ma.

Interesting enough, my son (tenant) when he wanted to rent in Boston he had to pay the agent fee, not the person listing the place.

Does anyone have recommendations for renovation loan contractors in Massachusetts/Boston Area?
