Multi-family properties spell opportunity. The following 3 properties all have some features in common: hardwood floors, lots of natural woodwork, architectural details, and good light. Coincidentally, they all have screened in porches. This is where the similarities end and the many variations begin. My point being…comparing properties, determining market value in New England is challenging. Not only do our neighborhoods vary from village to village, properties vary greatly in style, size, lot size, layout and more. Condition is also an important part of the puzzle. Most important the number have to work. If you would like a Buyer Agent’s advice as you tour any of these homes, contact me at Janet@JanetPorcaro.net.

Multi-family homes have been a consistent part of the Greater Boston Area housing inventory since the Civil War if not before. During the latter part of the nineteenth century, wood frame multi-family homes gave the working class an opportunity to experience home ownership as Boston’s “streetcar suburb” developed.
“…Owners of multi-family houses would then rent out the other living units in their building, thereby greatly increasing their income. The rented units allowed newcomers to get established in the city and eventually save enough money to become landowners in turn.” ~Peter H. Wiederspahn, Associate Professor, Northeastern University, Department of Architecture
Fast forward to 2012 where we find the multi-family home option becoming increasingly attractive. Buyers are considering the multi-family home for either owner occupancy or investment purposes. Rental properties are in demand in the Greater Boston Area making it fairly easy for a landlord to find strong tenants. Housing prices seem to be on the upturn making this a fabulous time to buy a home. Consider a multi-family option.
