I am based in the Boston area.

i manage mine on my own I'm in PA now.My Boston condo has in-house maintenance :) My NC commercial, I did for 3 yrs, but quickly lost my infrastructure because I am not there.

If you need $400 to fix the plumbing, or $400 to go to Boston for a Steelers VS Pats game, invest in the plumbing.  

I'm in Boston and you can't take much of the advice you read, as it doesn't apply.

I live in the Boston area, and am looking to become a live-in landlord, making my first investment a multi-family property.

I'm complacent with what I am doing now but definitely would like to get out of the 9-5 cubicle monkey routine.I currently live in Boston, MA and own a 3BR condo near a university.

2 what %can we expect to loose on taxes3 we are in the boston area is this a good location to begin flipping. thanks

This includes the cost of raw land, each lot having city water meters, septic tank, electric, the transport and cost of the mobile home.The current market for selling is approx $50/sqft and rents are $900-950/mo.For a 28x76 $44k investment I'm estimating a sales price of 105-110k sales price which is a 60-65k profit per lot.On renting I would get the 28x76 for $36k.

When I was in college I was renting in Beacon Hill, Boston.

I tried scraping a list of luxury condos around my area (Boston, MA) and posting them to Zillow via Postlets only to find they all got banned by Zillow because of the 50-unit limit.
