A mobile phone app is key so you have persistent access no matter where you are.Total operating cost (coverage, cost of exports, cost to acquire additional contact or transaction history data) factoring in assumptions in overall marketing effort and volume.

Great schools, great proximity and easy access to major cities, and there are many options on what to and how to invest here.

If you have capital or the ability to acquire capital cheaply, you can be a lender. 

I'm only interested in acquiring a duplex, triplex, or fourplex.

I have a few goals.1- acquire property to ultimately build a portfolio (I would gladly flip or make it a rental)2- generate some strong interest from the liens

My wife is a Real Estate Agent in Texas and has full access to the MLS in Texas. 

I also have access to my 401k which I have basically saved to use as the starting platform for my investing. 

I’m looking at Worcester because Multi-families are cheap compared to the rest of the state and I feel like it is a decent rental market due to the many colleges, universities, hospitals, and commuter access into Boston.

It should work fine, particularly if you have access to folks who need less space and lower rents...think students, medical interns, etc.

@Jim Cummings that's possible, but not all sold amounts get reported through to what is visible to those of us without realtor access.
