I bought 14 new constructions during the Katrina go zone tax benefit play and so this is the last one I have to sell.

You'll never be out of the red. 

They know the zoning/sign laws.Commercial real estate usually has the ability to place signs For LeaseSounds like a nice little center.

Our mortgage for the old house was $3500 and the new mortgage which is now $3150, that extra $600 we’d have to cover put us out of our comfort zone and would not allow us to save as quickly to buy another rental down the line.We would have loved to keep it but we just couldn’t figure out how to make the numbers work.

This property will very much be in the red as a rental.

So things that are a red flag for me may be fine for someone more aggressive.

Worcester has a big Buzz regarding the new Ballpark for the Woo Sox (Red Sox AAA club) also people are getting priced out of Boston. 

What raised the red flag for me was the instructions to make it my primary residence address.

The tax info and zoning information you should be able to find online in most counties.

If a tenant says they don't have the 1st month's rent and security deposit right now that's a RED FLAG and I will not rent to them (they'll typically promise they'll pay the security deposit in increments... nope!).
