Who cares about interest with rates this low and now 2 things will happen.

I had someone say to me today "I don't care if you charge me more because it's a low loan amount..."  

Yes... the state does have a few options for estimating your taxes; however, you need to be careful and not identify as "homestead".

Just be careful whatever you do do you don’t waste time and money and have to start over 

Yes, but be careful with terms.

So be careful what you buy.

If you're newer, I'd be careful and only work off of current numbers.

The hustle and drive is in your creativity, another thing my mentor told me was  "I don't care how you get the money, get the money" ... so if you get the money, sure it may cost you more than a 3.5% standard mortgage loan, but if it allows you to move forward with investing.. 

I don't see any:lawn care or snow removal (which may mean snow removal from the roof as well), Trash Pickup90% of the duplex type properties in Maine would have 1 heating system meaning landlord pays (can be substantial depending on the property), electric could be per occupant but checkI assume you would also pay water sewer --  maybe $60 per monthA building like this is Waterville is probably a old converted single family even if it is all redone I would reconsider your repair and capex estimates I don't know local Waterville but double check the property taxes

Banks will typically limit you to 4 houses before they cut you off.If you do things the way I do them by using "Subject To" to buy the properties, you get in more cheaply and there is no bank to cut you off so you can do as many of these as you care to.
