But, I also did a prescreening of open source state court system, and contacted their landlord and employer prior to using My Smart Move. 

Opens doors to work for yourself even just for small ventures on the side.  

I would like to focus on multi-family, starting with small 2-4 unit properties and am definitely open to house hacking. 

@Daniel Silfer Your both properties are under llc so both options open for cash out under commercial loan to keep loan under llc  or conventional loan if you will take loan under personal name.

Setting a hard finish date for Open house lights a fire under your butt.- even if you don’t think you have problems with things like AC, heating, plumbing, etc., have it inspected.

Would prefer the first couple deals be within a 3 hour drive of Boston if possible, but beyond that I'm open to working out of state to find the best cash flow.   

Are agencies even open to that?

It has opened a new world of possibility for me! 

I have opened a separate account for my first rental property, but I'm not sure if I should open up a second account to deposit the Cap Exp, Maintenance, and vacancies savings for that rental or what is the best way to do this.  

All should be free and open to the public- I just checked auction.com for times and locations.
