I want to do my due diligence, but I also want to grab the deal quick.

My question was more in regard to quickly comparing/screening returns across markets.

If they are professional, they can explain this quickly and easily.

You should either fix it as quick as possible or notify the tenants that the home is uninhabitable and force them to move.Your second mistake is keeping crap tenants.

Awesome, thanks @Chris Seveney @John Underwood for all the quick responses, really appreciate it.

Most 2-4 units are overvalued by my numbers and still seem to sell very quickly.  

I am quickly realizing it's difficult to find 1) properties which meet the 1% test, and 2) properties which cash flow positive from year 1 (unless we increase our down payment from 3.5% to something much higher).I would like to get two pieces of advice from the Bigger Pockets community in Massachusetts.

Brian, thinking big really quick, I would say a few 800 FICOs ready to personally guarantee and a few to five seasoned LLCs each with a D&B PAYDEX of 80 or more would get you the most financing you want at the lowest possible rates assuming you meet the income requirements.

They are in it for the quick resale on the secondary market. 

If your able to get in and out very quick with a good return then maybe it makes sense.
