The towns you're targeting—Rochester, Dover, Farmington, and Milton—offer great potential, especially for flipping and buy-and-hold multifamily investments.

Whether or not your CPA offers it is another issue.

I have seen what Hemlane offers and it seems like a great tool to use but like to know if better options are out there. 

However, if you do feel you need some representation/consultation, it may be beneficial to make an offer which can include some commission for your agent.

@Sam Rogers A Deferred Sales Trust (DST) allows you to defer capital gains taxes by transferring sale proceeds to a trust in exchange for installment payments, offering tax deferral and reinvestment flexibility beyond 1031 exchanges.

Funny enough, the house I made an offer on before the one I closed on I did go through multiple inspections: electrical, plumbing, and regular inspection and I ended up walking away from that one.

Potentially Lower Interest Rates: With more collateral backing the loan, lenders may offer lower interest rates, as the risk is spread across multiple assets.3.

@Renee PohleStarting with a primary residence in Boston offers long-term stability, house hacking potential, and equity building, but may have high upfront costs and limited cash flow.

You're spot on with how private money lending offers speed and flexibility compared to traditional banks.

I didn't walk the house prior to making an offer and prior to closing.
