I would look first at what market segment you want before looking at type of housing...lower, mid range, upper end?

@Jonny McknightWhy do you think the agent listed it at $2M if the comps are in the $3.8 to $4M range?

There are 4 facility’s within 3 mile range and they are all much bigger 50,000 sqft+.

Our lender told us that we have to have a tenant's first-month rent and security deposit before getting approved for another loan in the price range we want.

Right now trying to fill two positions, one is hourly at $80/hour and the other is a salary position which including expected bonus will approach the quarter million dollar range in 2022.

@Robert Kornmeyer depends on your financial situation but definitely a multifamily is the way to goThey range from 600k-the moon Best value add areas are JP/Dorchester on the path of gentrification Great section 8 market as well and get high quality tenants Allston/Brighton/Brookline is more upscale and Multis start @1m but definitely a market not going anywhere anytime soonSouthie and east boston are great but youre late to the party on those

Looking in the the $250-300k range.

If you can pickup a $250k house with an extra bedroom you maybe in the $2k rent range. 

Are you ready to fend off any perfect storm of increasing inventory (becoming a Buyers Market rather than Sellers) and Mortgage Rate rises - with no advance notice?

Not to sure what options I have for that.4- the price range well, I talked to some loan officers and they mentioned I can get a 325000 ish house for about 2100 a month was kinda the ball park.
