Generally speaking, prices in Boston are very stable, no huge discounts yet, which appears to be due to the lack of inventory.

Hi Benjamin,Find a property at a discount.

For the past week or so we have debating about the idea of wrapping our cars with the company information but we are not sure if we should do it under our Real Estate firm or we should do it under our investment firm.On one hand we don't want our real estate clients that all we do is invest in RE because we think they may see us as discount broker which is obviously not the impression we want but then if we meet with potential sellers we don't want the to think we are there to get listing when we are in fact trying to purchase the property.

As a new investor you should be looking to purchase at a discount (especially if you can purchase cash and use credit to refinance).I had considered putting a package of between 5-10 homes for sale all 100% leased with paying tenants.  

Usually deeply discounted.   

When I look at a property I discount it based on the HVAC & mechanicals because I prefer to replace them with my own new units after the sale. 

Statistically speaking, most investor have bigger ROI from flipping, but it is essential that your get the property at a huge discount. 

There’s a small fridge and microwave, and restaurants nearby. 3) I price short, mid-week stays lower to keep it full, and used to give bigger discounts for week-long stays.

This is only a good deal if you are buying well (preferably at a large discount to market value) and have a rehab plan that is appropriate for your market (you know your resale market well) and you can execute that plan efficiently (preferably come in under budget).

Do not discount vacancy time and long term maintenance cost.
