My first house, and first flip.

What made you...

In CA the Counties would have kept the windfall of $ and found some pressing uses for it. 

It can get tiring especially when many properties may not meet your requirements, but keep pressing on; eventually you will find one that does fit your criteria, make sure you are prepared to make an offer right away as it is likely that you are not the only one that thinks it's a good deal. 

Purchase price: $160,000 Cash invested: $1,000 Sale price: $209,900 This happened to be another accidental money maker.

Just a few examples:The best application screening, hands downFree evictions and up to a month of lost rentUp to $5,000 in accidental pet damageProfessional inspection reports with high-res, 360-degree photographs twice a yearProfessional statements, monthly and annualAnd much more.

You've accidentally discovered what is optimal to do if you plan to scale.Most times the one of us not on the loan can't be on the deed. 

Just from a pure market standpoint, your are going to be hard pressed to find worthwhile duplex/single family homes in your price range from Greater Worcester -> East Mass.
