Hey everyone :)I’m looking to find a regular handyman on the north shore of Boston specifically in Salem and Beverly.

Claire Shores, MI is listed as both R-1 and medical office.)

Francois,I have two investment properties in Bonnet Shores and curious if you ever went with a builder and what your experience was with them?

I'm trying to decide between a 3 bedroom condo in Hyde Park recently built and ready to be rented OR a grey-stone duplex in the south-shore neighborhood with two units that needs a little bit of gutting and rehab.

Look for some recommendations of small  banks in the North Shore area, around Danvers MA. 

My question is- am I better off continuing to save and buy something bigger/better later down the road OR do I jump into this as a temporary primary residence and future long term rental? 

I think most of the independent, smaller landlords operating in C/C- areas are probably a bit more willing to work with tenants having temporary problems to avoid evictions and skips and as a result may have lower eviction rates.

But I'll be coming down to Mobile, AL in the next month for a few temporary duties and plan on touring properties while I'm in town.

You have a temporary problem getting the financing you need as an owner occupied home.

AirBnb has been something I've thought about but just not sure since it's temporary.
