Hey Jacob, welcome! I'm new myself but a few investors I know locally seem to use Bay State Savings frequently. 

Good places to network are Black Diamond and Multifamily Investors Network, in my opinion. Good luck out there, I'm sure I'll see you around!

A lot of buyers from Boston and NY have been coming in and driving prices up, some of them paying questionably high prices for places that are in or are adjacent to warzones. The influx of out of town/state buyers has actually created talks of a multifamily rental registry which will of course come with a fee. I may be erring on the pessimistic side but I think the days of above 1% are drawing down until perhaps another market correction or rent increases swing sharply up to compensate. As someone local looking for my first I feel your pain man!

 Unfortunately I'm out of Massachusetts :( but this is a great place for people to start and I bet someone could really use this info

 Asking a prospective employer and calling schools were two of the most popular ways that I managed to find via the internet. I think I'm going to try reaching out to school/programs first and then perhaps call local brokers.

The idea of free online accredited courses and groupon are fantastic ideas that I had not heard of but am certainly going to dive into as well!

Alan Donegan of PopUp Business school posed an interesting question in a podcast that lately has stuck with me and it has been to ask the question, "can you get it for free?" Be it a new appliance, video games or even an education.

In turn, I pose this question to the community (also a bit selfishly!) can I get my pre-licensure courses and or license for free? I've been looking into several grants but they insist that one must be enrolled in college full time (which I am not). 

Has anyone managed to get their license for free or reduced cost, if so, how did you do it? Bonus points if you find anything state specific that isn't California!

Perhaps a dumb question but wouldn't many of these be largely subjective based on variables such as quantity and surface area? Ideally it would be great to have an engineers opinion on the cost of depreciation when all these items are cost segregated. If that's what you did to arrive at these numbers then ignore that suggestion!

Looks great, nice to see a fellow Graftonite around here! I'm curious as to what the story is with the electrician and plumber; who you used and what the hangup was

Thank you all for your responses! I added all of you and between both jobs I'll be doing my best to hit you up! Good luck out there

Noted, I appreciate the hard numbers on rental properties. Based on your phrasing I'd say that is a low quantity and makes this a fairly competitive market which is good to know so I don't underestimate the unknown.

Damn that is a lightning fast close, but I'm also glad to know where the market stands at the moment in terms of baseline pricing.

Thanks for your time!

The comps with flood insurance is something I hadn't thought of, great tip!

What's the difference between private and public flood insurance? Surely if I'm saving by going private there must be some sort of trade off, no?

Thanks in advance!
