@Amir PortalRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

@Vincent WeselakIt’s a good idea to get an estimate for your insurance costs upfront since this can vary based on the property type and location, and it’s a key factor in evaluating your cash flow.

That’s great advice Taz, I’m currently working on saving enough money to get started, house hacking is hard for me at the moment because I just bought a house 2 years ago, I would have to sell my house(which is in a great neighborhood great location) and use that money to fund the duplex which isn’t totally out of the question, I would like to keep the house if possible but also would like to get real estate investing more.

Hi Alecia,Where in MA are you located.

I have seen this same house that is vacant (all the classic signs) I have located the owner ( I have not reached out to her yet).

Since you're not rushing for a quick flip, you can focus on quality construction, tenant-friendly designs, and strong rental markets that yield solid cash flow and appreciation over time.A few things to consider: Location is key.
