I can recommend that you contact @Shannon Wright at Casa Bella for all of these types of closings.

@Linda Osborn, I appreciate the insight! 

@John Wright Norwood is within walking distance to me, I keep hearing great things. 

I am from Montreal.Beautiful city and like Linda mentionned, the jobs are growing.Its a hot market right into the city and it will come a little bit hotter in the month's coming.I would suggest to have a look in a micro market out of montreal like North or South.In north have a look for St-Sauveur, Mont Tremblant, Charlevoix( near Quebec city).More south east have a look for  St-Jean sur le richelieu, St-Hyacinthe, Bromont, Granby, Magog and Sherbrooke.Those place are all beautiful with a very good potentiel for airbnb.Good luck!

@Matthew Wright If you don't want to pay the monthly management fee and are ok with dealing with repairs and calls from tenants, you might consider using a PM to just do your leasing.

@Linda Dalton, @Jason Gines, @Eric P., I believe you bought properties through RoofStock, do you have any guidance and/or opinion on their star neighborhood rating system?

As @Linda Weygant said, nobody is infallible.

Linda is correct that the only way to avoid the 20% down is to make it your primary residence, however on occasion you can find a lender that will allow you to purchase with 15% down but that is rare and your credit must be excellent.
