So was living there for a year personal choice to get it ready or was this because of a loan requirement?

My advise for you, one of these day sit back, have a beverage of your choice and ponder on net income per month that would meet your goals, that was my starting point.

While I enjoy all hunting, deer, turkey and waterfowl are probably my top choices.

Hi Janesly, I think a flip is the better choice for you too, but just to add a few facts to your figures.

@David Ward Focusing strictly on investment properties and putting down 20-25% like you mentioned Boston is an expensive market to begin with then you thrown in the low interest rates to keep the economy from crashing and you’re seeing prices 10-15% higher then last year alone, it’s a terrible time to be a buyer unless you come across the perfect deal but those deals probably won’t even hit the sites before they’re already sold I would suggest hitting Zillow and contacting the most popular realtor/brokerage in the area because that’s how you’ll find that perfect deal.

What a great choice.

SMS is the most popular option but you will be paying to use a program and send them in bulk.

Cozy is certainly a popular choice but keep in mind it doesn't have a ton of flexibility.

The reason I felt like I this was a good choice for me (You can comment or direct message me if you think I am wrong or have other ideas for me) was because my down payment was even less expensive that purchasing a house that would need help and the rehab on it.

@Jay Hinrichs mentioned fractionalizing, which is very popular here but, unfortunately, not legal in all states.
