I am looking to get into 6-12 units and I find Leominster ( or Worcester ) generally financially attractive.I don’t, however, have any experience in that market in terms of rental outlooks, neighborhoods, Vacancies, help, management companies, snow removals etc..I have looked at many More affordable areas including Lynn, Lowell, City of Worcester - but I find myself somehow pulled towards Leominster.

What improvements you personally added with $500 on this awesome home ?

I'm on that journey that I'm sure many others here are on to one day find financial freedom.

My rational is that he would be financially invested and have more motivation to do a good job and meet deadlines.We agreed to set up an LLC try 3 flips together.

The main risk is that the city might make you demolish the improvements. 

Rental comps for 2BR units in the area are $965/mo.Assuming I purchase the property for $135K, invest $10k in improvements, utilize a 25% down/30 yr mortgage, and achieve 80% of the total market rents (from rentometer) + 7% vacancy/attrition, this property looks to cashflow approx $400/mo with a 9% CoC return and 12.5% total ROI.My questions are the following, not having much experience in analyzing duplex deals:- How would I accurately estimate rental income in my area for a duplex, if my area is mainly SFHs ?

One of our things on the list for improvements is gravel for the driveway. 

I currently work doing exterior home improvement and was planning on doing a lot of the rehab myself

@Michael Glaspie Depends on the size and how quickly the seller can provide a rent roll, leases and financials incl bank statements.

Where are you financially?
