Currently own my home and two other properties which I do STR and LTR in.

Sounds like this is maybe in the Wilmore area if it's in a historic district near South End.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

The Numbers:We specialize in single-family rental homes in the $160-250k range, with an average price of $170k-$190k.

In other words, the rental license is contingent upon the property as a whole. 

Keep in mind all these markets are very different than the Cambridge area in terms of tenant base, household income, transit, etc.Happy to connect if you'd like to chat more!

@Patrick ShepWell said @Bill B. the lending wouldn't be an issue in this case as long as you meet your reinvestment requirements.

I’m starting to lean more towards private lending as a way to get my toes wet and get my money working for me in a relatively stable way.I’m looking for educational resources or literature.

Yes you can but it depends on the lender some lenders do not allow due to overlays and in house restrictions.
