I highly recommend being proactive and reaching out to people on this forum.

While I am currently looking for multi-family duplex/triplex with an eye to use BRRRRR in the north shore area (north of Boston suburbs like Chelsea, Revere, Saugus, Swampscott, etc) class B/C properties, I am wondering whether this strategy in a "tenant-super friendly" state like Massachusetts's with current high interest rates (and therefore high construction/materials/contractor costs) is worthwhile at this time.

As for the best markets, look for areas with strong job markets, population growth, and landlord-friendly laws for good cash flow in both long and short term rentals.

I should probably give some highly corporatized reply or something, but honestly seeing Alan and Kirt's names drawn into a public forum is hurtful to me.

House flipping is attractive because the high velocity turnover of capital if done successfully but as Scott points out, purchasing the home correctly is the most important factor in a successful flip.

But this population seems to be risky.

I highly suggest teaming up with a broker who truly understands the ins and outs of different underwriting guidelines.

It's definitely worth considering for its strong rental market, growing population, and diverse economy.

I highly recommend you begin building relationships with people in your local market by attending meetups and asking people to grab a coffee or beer.

The cost of entry is low while the cash flow is high.
