Property 1: Rental Multi I started out with a 2 unit multi north of Boston.

So think walkable (bonus) or by public transportation, if not garage parking is a must for when they come home late.

Those aren't going anywhere so there's a strong economic base but also looking at the city logistically it has all forms of transportation with a high volume of traffic coming through.

I have a background in freight transportation as well and actually lived in Toledo for a short time.

I'm a boston-based investor,  looking to buy a multi-family unit and plan to use my residence unit as a STR. 

I'm an expat with a good salary paid in euros, already owning three properties in the Boston area and holding two mortgages.

Curious how it compares to the Boston suburbs.

I understand this is the way syndication works with multifamily properties because the operations are generally only a few people, however, in senior living, the operations are much larger and more litigious because we are providing 24-hour care, medication management, meals, transportation, activities, etc. 

Here is what I am seeing right now around the Boston area:Flips:LTV - 75-80% is what I seeOrigination Fee - 1/2 to 1 point feeI look for 100% coverage of hard construction costsInterest rate - I’m between 4.25 and 4.75% at about 6 local banks right nowTerm - highest is about 18-24 months.

The classic blue cities, SF, LA, Seattle, NYC, Boston are all the best deep water ports in America.
