Real estate isn’t just about where you live; for many of my clients, it’s about building a legacy. My family has been involved in property management and construction right here on the South Shore for generations. You could say real estate is in my DNA. When I look at a multi-family in Braintree or Quincy, I’m looking at more than just a building; I’m looking at a vehicle for long-term wealth.
The 2026 Investment Climate
Why am I so "bullish" on South Shore multi-families right now? It comes down to two things: Rental Demand and Transit-Oriented Growth. Even with more inventory hitting the market, the demand for quality rentals in Quincy and Braintree is at an all-time high. With average rents in Quincy hovering around $2,600+, the math for investors is starting to make sense again as rates soften.
Spotlight on Braintree and Quincy
-
Quincy: The revitalization of Quincy Center has created a "halo effect" for surrounding multi-family properties. Investors are seeing strong appreciation (up nearly 11% year-over-year) and a tenant pool that values being close to the T.
-
Braintree: Often overlooked for multi-families, Braintree offers a "stickier" tenant base. People move to Braintree for the schools and stay for the community. A two-family here isn't just a rental; it’s a high-demand commodity.
The "FC Realty" Edge for Investors
I don't just want to sell you a building. I want to help you understand the "unsexy" parts of investing—the CAP rates, the maintenance schedules, and the local rental laws. Because of my background in construction, I can often spot the "hidden costs" in a property before you even make an offer.
Being an investor myself, I know the weight of these decisions. It’s a privilege to share the "inside track" I’ve gained over 14 years in this industry to help you grow your portfolio. If you’re looking to start or expand your investment journey in 2026, let’s sit down and look at the numbers together.
