We have each owned and sold single family homes (in San Diego, Virginia, and Boston) and just recently (as partners) sold a small multi-family apartment in Worcester, MA. 

I don't have a contact in the Boston area.

Ending September 2020, Yardi Matrix noted that Baltimore's rent growth was 1.3% YoY - which is better than some markets like San Francisco, Boston and Dallas and Washington, DC. 

If I were looking for a roofer in Boston where I live, I’d go to Harvey’s building supply and chat with one of sales reps and see if they have two or three contractors they like.

Hi all, I am looking to start investing in multi family around Boston area.

I am not too far away in Boston.

I was doing STR in both Boston and Cape Cod and Boston/Cambridge did their best to kill Airbnb, The Cape tries to embrace them, though some backlash from Boston created state requirements to them.

I also have a great buyer agent that I know well who works in Boston/Cambridge/Somervile/etc.  

I would agree if you are looking at much of the Boston rentals on the market using the MLS.Check out some of MikeOH's other posts and you will get a vibe for his approach.

I lived in Ohio, philadelphia, New Jersey outside New York City, Boston, and finally moved to SF Bay Area in 2003.SF Bay Area is the most profitable location for real estate investment, compared to all the other cities.All my RE holdings are in Bay Area, and I will continue to invest here.
