Ok then maybe you could look into REITFs, mutual funds, or hedge funds that dabble in real estate like Hedonova or Fundrise. You are still investing in the market. Source: about 1 year ago

Fundrise is positioning themselves as a technology company, not a real estate company. It’s “our platform can be used for more than just housing”. You see that with the Innovation Fund, but also – have you seen the fundrise.com home page lately? They’re selling their IP, not their properties, which helps make the company look attractive even if housing prices were to go down. Source: about 1 year ago

I'd say start searching now because you never know what you'll be able to find, try apartments.com, Facebook Marketplace, maybe Craigslist if you're brave, and I found a site called roomies.com where you can find rooms and connect with like minded people also searching.

If you aren't local, try places like zillow, apartments.com, rentcollegepads, or google places like JSM, MHM, Smile, Green Street Realty, University Group, Roland, Bankier, Ramshaw, etc. Source: 7 months ago

You have the budget to afford one of those luxury buildings. There aren't many (any?) in Somerville like that, I think it's due to permits/regulations or something. But if you up your budget filters on apartments.com you could still find something in Somerville with off street parking included. Source: 7 months ago

I always found hidden gems on Craigslist. People shit on it all the time but I preferred it over apartments.com and the like. No b/s, just pay the owner a flat fee monthly. Source: 7 months ago
