But I still think there will be a headache with neighbor complaints, depending on size of complex/community.

Yes, it's time intensive which is why it's so worth your time to pay someone to do it for you.What I'm learning while doing it, though, is priceless.It would seem to me, though, that if you want to stay in your area you can find properties simply by driving around a different area every week (or day, depending on your time investment). 

@Dan Kaisk, that depends.

Where you are looking in Dublin (not sure if that is but that's what you mentioned), duplexes are going for over $200k and three units depend based on square footage.

Regarding how far to go back-I guess it depends on what the goals of your financial statements are and how many transactions you have (ie: how long it will take to enter the data).

I think 900 is minimum for 1 bedroom depending on the building.

My experience has allowed me to manage multi-million dollar budgets and interact with C-Suite executives who depended on my advice to make decisions.

Depending on your tolerance for risk, I think there are always opportunities to negotiate with motivated sellers in and around Boston.Always happy to meet up and chat about Real Estate and connect with like-minded folks so let me know.Best,Cheng

Although it may be unlikely, it may depend on the company and their specific rules.  

Depends the the price range but it starts to slow down after school starts because people don't want to move their children after school starts.
