Some real estate investors among those who visit would probably love to invest there just because they like the place but that doesn't mean that it makes sense to them.I'm an international real estate investor and would love to invest there if it made sense to me.

While you likely won't find properties that fit the 2% rule in the Boston area, you will likely have a higher internal rate of return on the properties there than where the 2% properties are located.

We normally call that the Total Return or more technically, the Internal Rate of Return (IRR).The Reality is that you cannot know if an Investment is Great until you have the following 3 things: 1) The Purchase Price, 2) the Future Cash Flows and 3) The Selling Price.I also like to say that the best investments are the most predictable ones.

Anthony Dianaty at Sotheby's International Realty said his has 8% money. 

I spoke with the plumber who gave the quote, and he said there would be no internal modifications to the floor/foundation, but extensive digging around/under the house. 

Definitely find a CPA who is well-versed in the internal revenue code to help you out.

Over the last few months I have been analyzing several potential multi family and industrial properties through local brokers/loopnet/costar in an attempt to find a property that would yield somewhere near a 10% Cash on Cash return and a 15%+ internal rate of return (including NOI, depreciation, and a 2% assumed appreciation). 

Costs $5k-$6k all in.1) The internal components are aluminum and have an increased chance of fire with society's increasing electrical usage.  2) In a claim, the insurance company pays out $, then looks to see if they can recapture some of the loss from other parties that are at fault. 

Keep in mind that Internal Revenue Code (IRC) is 70,000 pages and it keeps growing.

I think I might be in the "analysis paralysis" faze. I've been reading/researching for months, saved money and am ready to fix/flip. However, fear keeps holding me in place.Are there any rehabbers/flippers in the Twin...
