Excited to continue to see BP staff so much excellent talent.

The less expensive of the two towns in what is very possibly the best school district in the state, commuting distance to the 128 corridor or Nashua/Manchester, excellent demand.  

Excellent point @Andrew Syrios.I think a lot of people miss that when looking at real estate investing as a way to get out of a job.I've got 39 houses (with 2 more closings in the next few weeks) and I still would never think of quitting my full time job.  

Baltimore is an excellent rental market, DC good also, though DC prices are significantly more expensive.

That's tough to say.A 6 unit would be considered a commercial property and likely will have a higher interest rate as well as require a bigger downpayment.Usually they want you to wait 6 months to refinance.I don't think you will get a 4.5% interest rate unless you have excellent credit as well as a good percentage of money down on the loan.
