Malden which is a suburb around Boston has prices these high for houses and Boston itself has houses that go for at least 1 million for a studio and those are condominiums as well. 

Which neighborhoods are popular with renters that can afford Boston rents?

its more work but if you need to fill it thats another way.I have student properties in Boston and have used that method when it did not rent regularly as as a group.Good Luck!

I live in Boston, but have some realtor connections in upstate NY and Houston, TX. 

I boarded a plane to Boston this morning (business travel), landed at 3:30 pm ET and had my first rent check from my new tenant already deposited into my account.

Step 3 Look at other criteria such as migration trends, transportation infrastructure improvements, look at outlying areas of boom towns, areas that attack business startups and jobs, and areas that are transitioning from one economic class to a higher class (gentrification).

I'm not as familiar with Texas properties, but I can tell you I lived in a townhouse that was built in 1887 just outside Boston and was gut renovated.

@David Briley we're targeting the Worcester/Boston areas. 

In my market, Boston, where it is cold in the wintertime, fewer people want to move in the winter, so if you have a vacancy, you will have a harder time finding a tenant.
