Given this is first investment, I would like to keep it local.Any suggestions on neighborhood with good rental cash flow in Middlesex county ?

There's quite a supportive investor community here.First tip: come to a monthly meeting of ORREIA (https://www.orreia.net/). 

Are those terms "fine print" or only the terms that POA did not read?

If you pay cash you'll pay yourself back percentage back, if you use the a hard money loan the refi would pay that off and the difference would go to you

I am new to biggerpockets.com so forgive me if this has been discussed already but, does the brrrr method work when working multifamily and if so can someone send me a case study or what the difference is 

He knows everything you need to know to do this right.

Hi @Michelle SimoniI would use the Lenders tab on BiggerPockets and reach out to a few different lenders to compare.

I dont know how many units you are talking about, my biggest problem was tenants having easy access to me.I finally decided to use a software and got an internal property manager so moved away from it.Currently setting up the maintenance request portion of it, so will see how it goes.

I would think your insurance agent might have access to some historical information for a specific area as they would want to examine this closely for their underwriting.

Build a team with local contractors and use property management software.
