@Michael Montalto it can be fairly straight forward subdividing one lot into two lots in Massachusetts. In very general terms, the new two separate lots each have to comply with the zoning and subdivision requirements of the municipality where the lot is located.  For example, in lot 176 below, the house may be able to be torn down and then made into two lots as each lot probably would have sufficient frontage on a street, enough land area, etc.

@Michael Montalto >>   Try looking for houses listed at a low enough price that the house could be torn down and rebuilt. Might also try looking for homes on lots large enough to be subdivided.

Good luck @Joe Weinstein!

Does anyone have experience purchasing the first mortgage note on their own primary residence at a discount. If so, how did you do it. Thanks.

Very happy for you @Sam Bagwell. Congrats!

Thanks for sharing @Philip Rodriguez!

Determining whether the land can be legally used for apartments is your first step. Here is a link to the Stow zoning by-laws: Zoning By-Laws Here is the zoning map: Stow Zoning Map Hope this helps @Tim Wilkinson.
