@Angelo Wong I am leaning heavily toward that opinion at this point.

The property will be cash flowing fairly well (around $1,000 per month) and the difference in the deductibles is only $2,500 so I’m leaning towards the higher deductible since I can make up that deductible very quickly.

I am initially leaning toward equity partnerships but am definitely open to other options as well. 

Currently I am leaning towards the investing side of it.

I wanted to reach out to the BP community and lean on you for advice and to learn.

I would double check with your accountant on that though as you don't want a nasty surprise down the road (and you know what they say about assumptions).As far as Providence & the East Side, I attended a neighborhood meeting a few weeks ago with some people from the neighborhood and some folks from the Providence Building Department.It does sound like they are leaning in favor of some additional regulations for AirBnBs in Providence, which may involve needing to get a special permit.

They have three packages and I was leaning toward the Gold one.

Like many "newbies", I'm going to lean on this community to give me some guidance/help with some of the questions I may have.

I am leaning towards cherry stained if I'm not shooting myself in the foot from a rental/sales demand perspective by not going with the trendy white option.I don't know if this is a starter home.
