How would you go about doing something like this in a booming housing market like the Boston area?

I wouldn't do that at all. Instead invest in a more steady market.

A good investment is one that has good return, regardless of market conditions.

"Investing" in a boom market is speculation.

You'll pay too much.

Look for good rent vs price situations where you can cashflow.

Midwest markets are good like Kansas City.
