I was wondering what the going cap rate is in the South Shore area. I have been looking at 6 unit buildings with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath.

I would add in another 10 to 12 percent in management fees even if you plan on doing it yourself. It's better to be conservative and see if the deal still makes sense. Hope it works out.
