I'm ideally looking for something within an hour of Boston - areas I'm most comfortable with would include Framingham, Worcester, Haverhill, Attleboro, Salem, and Providence.

As long as honest, well-intended landlords can still make an income while providing a comfortable home for people who need it, I'm happy!  

I use models from tsmfinancialmodels.com and I just export out of costar and paste into the model and it updates automatically...then I just need to make sure I am comfortable with the costar comps.

If it was me i'd be comfortable with 6-8 months at least for reserves. 3 months is risking it and with everything going on we won't know the extent of unemployment, economy, etc til Summer.

We manage in town, but I don't feel comfortable enough to purchase in NB myself.

My problem is I have not been able to walk through a property in person due to owners not being comfortable with the current social restrictions.

May be a comfortable placeholder.(8) Landscaping and driveway: $10,000 (your guess).

Would still recommend making the offer you're comfortable with if you love the house and fundamentally its a good deal

@John StrockDepending on your comfort level with risk, there are a few great neighborhoods for BRRRR.
