Out and away in the industrial area would be great zoned for manufacturing..and possible muscle car repair.Thanks , Mike

Even if I dont have that property right away, I will still have their contact and shoot out mass emails to investors. 

Also, I'l be doing some of the non-permitted grunt work myself and could also benefit from a good handyman for some extra muscle.

that buy and hold investors would buy sfrs in mass as stand alone investments.

Is your plan to acquire multifamily in Mass or out of state?

I wanted to get some input from the masses on investing in properties with settlement claims, i have been keeping my eyes out on properties with multiple searches i setup on the MLS along with a few wholesale lead sources i have acquired, most of the wholesale deals are so skinny on profit that you'd have to do all the work to really make any extra income from the flip or fix and hold lately, but today i got a lead on a property in an area that is typically a 250-300k housing neighborhood, but there was a settlement claim on the property about 8 years back with repair documents to support the repair.

and will my first purchase effect my borrowing muscles?

Hi BP Community,My Property Manager (Great Jones) has sent a mass email saying that any landlords with an 8% management fee, will see a rise to 10% next month. 

It keeps lawyers employed, which is why they spread fear among the masses.

This site has a lot of great resources for people exactly in your position - filled with enthusiasm about the potential that real estate has to offer, and looking where to start.I recommend starting with the Bigger Pockets Ultimate Beginner's Guide as that will give you a lot of good advice and next steps.For networking and education I recommend the RI Real Estate Investors Group which meets twice a month (one virtual/Zoom meeting for beginners and then an in-person meeting for members), and the Black Diamond REI group in southern Mass is good as well.
