I say had because this friend was traveling from Boston back to Springfield Mass and the trip is only about 140 miles, but he called his wife and told her he was tired and felt like it would be safer to stop at a motel for the night.

Worcester, Somerville, South Boston, Rhode Island (downtown areas) all have plenty of these types.

It seems like there is not much info on the BP forums for mid term rentals in the Boston area.

I figured another $10,000 for transporting it and utility hookup which I feel is more than enough.

I'm an investor from Boston and I've been having trouble finding deals for fix and flips.

@Chris Martin I have an interest in the Boston Red Sox I'll sell you after you get your money from @Andy Yhendewll  . 

Stripped down of all of the noise we need food/water, housing, transport, healthcare and happiness.

My two major concerns are the Federal and State bugdet and the Obama administration's proposed $2 trillion energy tax hike (cap and tax).Big Muddy is the economic anchor in the immediate area- so those employees directly, and the ancillary services that they require to run the prison prop up the median wages in the area to $33K +/- The other industries are obviously agricultural (dependent on energy for operation and transportation) and after that it's plastics / rubber at plants operated like Cooper Tire up in Mt.

Soft costs are my time and transportation..

They are close-in with good public transportation and walking distance to a Starbucks and maybe a Wholefoods or New Seasons Market.
