This is old news to many - but I've just properly looked into it... Lofty https://lofty.ai is a way of buying a share in a real "bricks and mortar" property (in the USA only at the moment). You get an income from the rent from the property - and the actual 'share' token is an ASA that can be traded outside Lofty. The website is very easy to use (they even allow on-ramping - which is a big win for newbies). Source: 11 months ago

And similar again - the above but focused on STO's or tokenized real estate. Many people out there want a investment property but cannot afford to buy one.

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: 5 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.

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: 5 months ago
