That's everything, housing, food, clothing, transportation.

It is MLS Listing #70689346 and I’ve looked at it through ziprealty.com.This property is in the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester.For the purpose of this question, I'd like us to assume that this property would be in move in condition and Okayed by an appraiser as in livable conditions.

Good location next to a large city park and public transportation (train), with street to street lot.Zoning: Currently zoned and used as 5 units.The Units: 1st floor front studio; 1st floor rear studio; 2nd floor 1-bed; 2nd floor efficiency; 3rd floor 1-bed.

The two main expenses of the average American household are housing and transportation, and these typically take up half the household budget.

@Scott Mac doesn’t matter ultimately if they are men are women, but Lets just imagine a typical Boston renting 20-something pair of young women working in a nearby hospital renting their first apartment—prime demographic here—would they consider it a plus for renting?

Look for local news and announcements of large developments, industries moving, new transportation lines, hospital expansions, military base expansions, population growth reports, etc.Some examples:Belleville (my area): huge new commercial development with Costco as anchor store, over 800 new full-time jobs, costco to be done by summer 2020 with the rest following in the next few years.

I'm not close (Boston, MA) but happy to chat anytime if i can be helpful -- have a friend or two from Brunswick as well!

Below is a list of target property criteria (broad for now, but I'll dial this in) as well as a list of open questions that I'd love your feedback on.Target Properties: -$1-4M purchase price-6+ unit multifamily apartments in GA and surrounding states-Value add opportunity through capital improvements, increasing occupancy, and/or raising rents-Property class B or C, no war-zone areas-Near stable employment, education, transportation, entertainment/amenities, and future developmentOpen Questions:1.Is it realistic for me to be able to set up and operate this type of fund part time?

You want to stay close to transportation and even on a house hack, you want to find a value add which means for a first-time investor not a ton of work, but enough to bring something up in the units to get to a better rent level in the other units.

I currently live in Boston and through a relationship, have access to around 60 acres of land in a beach town in an expensive area of Maine (not on the beach but 1.5 miles from the beach) for a significant discount.
