To be brief, I am a first time investor looking to invest a maximum of ~40k on a property. (25% down 4-5% interest is probably my best financing option, currently getting pre approved right now).I want to invest local (Massachusetts Metrowest region) however with my budget and financing I would be lucky to find a 1 bd 1 ba condo due to the inventory shortage we see nationwide.

Great first place to stay and get some experience in and would more than likely attract a lot of tenants given its proximity to a lot of the Mankato college region, it has everything I am looking for in a house honestly, I wish I could get better eyes on it given how nicely it helps me out to even start with, and considering how nice of a condition it is in to boot.Thanks in advance for any feedback you kind people have to shell out, looking forward to hearing from everyone! 

I would love to talk to some people who know that region well.

They live in the GTA (Toronto - one of Canada's most expensive real estate markets).

In truth, this rule/guideline has fallen off for many regions in the US.  

We have had very little spec building of new flex industrial assets, and there are a lot of local and regional businesses who seek these out (both as tenants and owner occupants).  

I'm expanding my business to the region, CDA, and Spokane.

I am hoping to connect with other wholesalers in the Pikes Peak region.

But wow, PM rates go as low as 5% in your region?  

Naples, as well as the entire SW Florida regions, is a great place to live and invest.
