Hello Folks: Which States/Towns/Cities are best in New England (specially for Condos) for Buy and Hold.  

When you say foreclosure homes, that could mean a home with an NOD filing (Notice of Default), NTS (notice of sale), or an REO (Real Estate Owned meaning the bank owns the property now AFTER it went through the first two filings, then to courthouse steps and nobody purchased it so it went back to the bank).If you are talking about finding REO deals, then you would need a contact with agents you specialize in REO properties to get the info before they put on the MLS, but in many cases today, the banks require them to list on the MLS.

But that's TV, and to make (big money like you refer to) in Real Estate it takes specialized knowledge, TIME, and Money as well a the ability to handle Risk without breaking down mentally or emotionally....I'm not saying you can't do it--you certainly can...but it will most likely take time (in addition to your practice) and sometimes stress and TIME combined working at it.How long will it take...unknown.

Investor and agent here specializing in the multifamily space in NJ.

My wife and I have a very specialized 1st position Heloc on our property that's tied to a zero-balance-sweep checking account.

Work with a REI specialized tax pro to discuss the big picture and strategy. 

This a specialized job I’ve never had to deal with before and don’t want to hire a hack.

That's everything -- utilities, cable/internet, Airbnb fees, lodger's tax, etc.----------$4,575 -- cash flowOne caveatOne big caveat to that cash flow is that his first four months were some of the hottest months for Airbnb in Denver and Colorado in general.

My speciality wasn't real estate but learning from those who work in it every day is a great way to get started.

Of the 19 properties on the list, only five were habitable, three had squatters and the rest were tear downs in blighted areas.When people say "housing shortage", we're talking about habitable homes which buyers would consider "move-in ready", not tear-downs, rehabs and fix-ups ("handyman specials").D'ya ever notice all the unfinished subdivisions now languishing in various courts and forms of proceedings?
