Having seen earlier proposals for Boston ordinances it seems a pretty reasonable compromise proposal to allow residents to offset Boston’s sky high prices by renting out all or part of their homes, while preventing non-local investors from further removing already limited housing supply (the ultimate fear of all housing departments).

Most of the homes I've represented here recently have been new builds, and I currently view the margins on rehabbing off-market or wholesale deals as too risky in my market.What has really made me consider the Flip System is my own experience of making offers on 5-6 homes — each over the asking price — only to find myself among many bidders and ultimately seeing another offer accepted.

The market-rate housing is made affordable by having a landlord that accepts Housing Choice Vouchers (aka Section 8) and charges a market rent that is below the payment standard.Public housing authorities (PHAs) typically set the payment standards based on HUD's fair market rents (FMRs) at the county level of geography.

That was a big red flag but ultimately it was the software licensing fee of $200 a month that was the final straw. 

You can see how extended furnishing timeline to save money may not be the wise financial choice.- who lives in primary unit?  

I do wish I had purchased a house when I went to college because it's the ultimate house hack plus you get to live "off-campus".Are you going to continue investing near Western Illinois?
