I have target markets for rental properties, but what are some current hot markets for flips in the Massachusetts & Rhode Island Area?

It'll be hot for a decade then dead for a decade.

I have a property management business which deals exclusively in STR in Montana ski and other tourists hot spots.

And actually a house hack like this is an incredibly powerful strategy. 

Note to Bigger Pockets readers: Pat HAS sent me the pics, he's got them, this is totally real and even nastier than you might imagine.I met some incredibly stupid people teaching, but most consequences for being stupid in renovation are far less forgiving.On the other hand, it's really amazing how many successful construction team leads/foremen, especially on generalist crews, actually do have at least some formal teacher-training and experience.

Really, that is incredible. 

House is blocks away from Old Town, but I think with the market so hot right now, I'm with @Greg Scott - those numbers aren't great - and with that profit you could purchase in a lower cost of living area (hopefully where you moved, which would be an easier property to manage too!)

With a lower mortgage I could continue to gather equity in a hot location, pay toward my student, and maybe clear $100/ month, initially.

Definitely a good steady strong market currently and in the future.Spring Hill continues to be hot as well.  

With that tenant is going to go your furnace, appliances (if you're naive and supply them), hot water tank and about another 3-5k in cosmetics.
