Why not consider a commercial loan and have an additional unit consistently providing you revenue? If you are against that particular option, you can townhouse the units as previously mentioned.

I own several in Woonsocket and can attest that the cost of entry is definitely more attractive in Woonsocket. However, appreciation occurs at a much lesser rate than other municipalities and markets. Rents are definitively lower as compared to other cities and towns that I have rentals in. Woonsocket does have a heavy tax burden on property owners. In addition to high property tax rates and high insurance premiums given the city demographics and ISO ratings, there is a relatively expensive sewer tax, and private trash service is required on properties with 4 or more units. When you add it all up and take into account the market rents, you still need to hammer out a good deal and make your money on the purchase.

You can easily come up with a rough framework least template relatively easily, always leaving it editable if there is a particular nuance related to a particular property. I'd definitely recommend having your attorney look one over or work with you to comprise one.

Grab a job banging nails. If you are in the house biz, there is no better skillset to learn.

If you are doing any in depth construction, Home Depot is 100% the place that is more geared towards that. Lowes is sometimes better when picking finishes like appliances, light fixtures, etc.
