Many are zoned as mixed use communities.

For commercial buildings, be very specific - price range, $/door max, unit count, unit mix, part of town.

There’s a big difference between an area that attracts stable tenants and one where you’ll be chasing rent every month.Personally, I’ve built a 12-door portfolio here, and it’s been a mix of cash flow and appreciation.

A few things I’d suggest as a local investor:Know Your Markets: New England is a mix of urban, suburban, and rural areas with very different dynamics.

I've gotten mixed feedback from Lawyers and Lenders 

I've read mixed reviews on host experiences with VRBO and Booking.com, so I've been hesistant to list there.Currently, using PriceLabs and tweaking/ analyzing pricing a few times a week.Honestly, my photos are not the greatest yet, but it is a high priority for me to get professional photos soon.

There is definitely opportunities to not go all-in for any one investment strategy, I would encourage a mix of strategies.

It offers flexibility as a landlord to be able to offer more or less rooms as needed, protection to the landlord in that you can hedge with adding LTR or STR to the mix, and simplification to the business as your only dealing with one address.
