@Lien Vuong Quincy is my personal favorite due to asian food and community but as you mention slightly far from the city for STR but if I get a walking distance from the T, that would be doable. 

I tied up a small project 16 lots ( high end lots) that If memory serves we were in contract for 550k spent 60k on entitlements and sold for 1.2 on a double close.

The potential for professional property management to serve in lieu of personal experience is promising to hear.

What to do with the dirty water (whether that be because of food, shower water, or bodily discharge) is the one that worries me the most.

Case workers look at things such as disability, are the potential tenants collecting food stamps, child support, do they have other income, SS, how many children, what ages are the children etc etc etc.....In your earlier comment you said average for 3bedroom is around $900.

It allows us to really serve our tenants well, which in return makes the owners happy.

@Edward Kim ah, so technically it has to be your "Primary Home"...so for those of us that serve, while we are stationed at a military base we still have our "home state" that is on our drivers license, etc.

In light of the one ethnicity element, i sincerely advise that wherever and whoever it is, without question, know the community you are serving and understand how to establish and maintain a level of mutual respect.

It's like asking "What type of food is good?"...

Near outdoor activities, good food and some kind of water.
