I would encourage you to learn the market you plan to invest in now and to continue to learn about the different methods of investing.

i am adjusting my strategy and going to try to keep expanding my funnel.I don't think @Russell Brazil is saying to go out and blindly buy a terrible deal... just that no, the ship hasn't sailed on Boston (as I don't think it has either) and RE remains a good investment.happy to continue to dialogue... hope this helps
