Hi Chang - Fellow Bostonian here and I recently took the plunge and closed on my first Huntsville property last Friday and getting set to close on the second by end of this month. 

There is always a deal to be had.Be quick, buy with cash and close quick.Need to up the game with direct mailers again, haven't sent them in a while and with the market shifting it's tougher nowadays. 

This property is in a great area for me in North Arlington (great schools, stones throw away from a huge community park, and close to I30), and the plan is to live in it for a year or so before renting it out (I’m sure I’ll be picking your brains when the time comes!).
