@Dave Spooner I think people may be leaving the Northeast for a few reasons:Harsh winters, since temperatures and snow can be intense in the region.Job availability is another factor since many companies are avoiding the region.The Northeast is also home to many cities with a high cost of living, making housing affordability challenging, especially as people lose their jobs.

If you don't qualify for a 650k plus loan (including the other units incoming coming into play when looking at your income) then right around Boston you won't have luck.

You need to know the rules of the game you are going to be playing so you dont get sued.  

When I jumped from single-family to commercial I spent a year of fairly intense mentoring under a paid coach and it fast-tracked my new direction.

I like EADO in general and think that's one of the best appreciation plays over the medium/long term.If those things end up being too much of a headache and your gut tells you the house is bad, for the peace of mind I would sell and look elsewhere. 

Hey everyone, this is my first post so I'm hoping I do it correctly.As in the title I am a 23 y.o. college student (5th/last-year) and I have $15k to "play" with.

I’m thinking student housing in Greeley should be a good play.

As long as all involved know the rules of the game and play accordingly. :-) 

It would probably be difficult for a buyer to secure financing on partial interest and making them condominiums is likely more intensive than subdivision. 

Doing the work the correct way is much better than playing with hokey ideas.
