Our company does not work on the North Shore, but if you personal message me with your town, I will send you the name of a good shop around you.Enjoy your travels!!

Residential units rent for $1075 each, ground floor pizza shop for $1100 so total cashflow is about $3,300. 

Yes, your standard mortgage rates are dropping, but most of your true commercial lending options are always going to be slow to react so I'm still seeing commercial rates higher than that.Sent over a DM, but would love to talk through some options if you are interested.Good luck!

Shop your mortgage. 

In other words, have your ducks in a row for the refinance (usually 2-3 weeks for a DSCR cash out refi) and then start shopping.

True foreclosures are all cash purchases so if you don't even want to pay $25 for a list or for access to a good site, you are probably starting a long climb up the wrong tree.

That is not true and there is upside to your build or conversion, just needs to be well planned and good execution by the investor. 

I mean, is it possible that these are true examples of flips?

And that is true, they have someone drive by and take a few photos.

There are few markets that had higher appreciation but one year is too short for a true indicator.
