@Darlene Julien I'm a big fan of the South Shore. 

We expereinced an anomaly of “temporary” demand from the flood of August 2016 that delayed the expected declines and softening of the rental market.  

Their support is clearly off-shore, as you don't get a response for up to 24-48 hours.  

About me; I live in the North Shore (Salem) and would like to stick to this area for investing only because I know the market a little better for rent rates and home value.

If anyone is familiar with massachusetts, the areas vary widely- cape cod, new bedford, taunton, south shore, and of course boston itself (out of my league d/t price) are all much different in price/rent ratio, schools, crime, etc... what are the things that matter most to you and influence your decisions when looking into different markets?

I have been assigned to a temporary EXPAT in Suzhou, China for 18 months.
