By the end of the rotation, I’ll have some say in where my company places me permanently, and I’d like to make an informed decision that aligns with my real estate goals.

Combine those facts and it seems logical families will opt to continue renting in the city longer in lieu of perhaps buying a starter home and they grow out of the apartment style housing units.

All the best!

Since you're focusing on Worcester, try pulling up some local property listings and practice running the numbers on them.

There's a ton of resources and information available and I'm looking forward to getting started.

Hello all, I'm curious how much the HUD will actually pay compared to the 40th percentile rents posted on their site.I'm aware of the different amounts each tenant will cover in terms of their portion of the rent, but I'm not sure if the HUD will actually agree to my rent price.I've been taking the stated FMR for the bedroom count, and taking 20% off the number stated (to be conservative as to what the HUD will accept). 

Best of luck with your multifamily journey! 

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Well, think of the concept of dollar cost averaging in stocks — instead of buying stocks one time, you invest consistently.
