Glad I'm not alone because that makes you wonder if the MA real-estate market is just too expensive for most people to invest in.I definitely am looking to start investing in buy-and-hold properties at first and then try to add the wholesaling in the mix to fund some of these investments when I run out of my private funds.

The reason is the purchase price tends to be smaller and they are all highly unique and one off type deals.When you get into the larger deals in price (millions) things are more systematized and the level of investors are repeat sellers and buyers instead of one off deals.The small stuff can be okay in rural towns where things are a one stop shop and you mix in big and small.

A properties lend themselves to specialized housing like student rentals.Affordable Housing can be a huge benefit to an owner with qualifying local, state and federal programs providing grants for work to be done improving the asset.Unit mix is important having 2 to 1 ratio of 2-3 beds vs. 1 beds leads to less turnover.Remember the US is the #1 destination for foreign investors in real estate.

They are mixing up what they are doing every month and making excuses to manipulate and see what they can get away with.

Hi Darren,What are rents per unit, unit mix ( 2 bed 1bath versus 1,1's), and asking price??

Bill, with all due respect for your wisdom on the subject, it appears you keep mixing the basket of apples and oranges.

Realize that common sense tells you that all of the value is in the land, but common sense and government usually doesn't mix.

My long term goal is to have a mix of cash and leveraged properties.

Even being 9 years old once it was machine mixed it matched perfectly on some trim I touched up outside as well as walls inside.

So the property is a mix of 1, 2bdrm, apartments and then 2bdrm townhouse set up.
