@Naeem Kapasi, that's a good idea.Also, I just got a sort of part-time-slash-temporary-slash-contract position that requires me to drive all over town to meet customers.

Aloha from Hawaii4-plex in quaint North Shore farming community for about 900,000 on market for 180 days.

Right now I am focused on Cape Ann/North Shore area.

You'll see quickly where you need to shore up resources.

And then there was temporary rental assistance which was paying part of his rent but also required me not to file for eviction.

I would like to convert my LLC, House to Home Rehab, to an NPO - By doing so, is anyone aware of any programs that would allow me to purchase/acquire distressed properties at a discount, if my intentions are to renovate them for the sole purpose of converting them into temporary housing for the homeless? 

And yes it is temporary (or indefinite as some would say). 

It seems easy to fall into the trap of looking at auctions from the North Shore of Boston all the way up route 93 North to the NH border.

Right now it appears you want to fix deferred maintenance but...well...deferring a replacement with a temporary fix.

Even less in Mattapan and Dorchester - but those are some higher crime areas.The south shore, roughly described as Plymouth County is more affordable and has good commuter rail service.
