Everyone from the successful plumber to the young, professional couples just starting out live here.

Here in MA, you cannot discriminate against a renter based on them receiving any type of public assistance, and that includes Section 8.I just talked with another BP'er a couple of hours ago who was contacted by what we think was a "tester". 

My suggestion would be attend all the meet-ups you can, meet people face to face, be eager to learn and help in whatever ways you can. 

It is surrounded by a cabinet shop on the left side, a couple commercial buildings in the back alley that are used primarily as storage for various businesses and a bar on the right side.

@Eric Wilson and @Kat He, we've been doing the vacation rental thing in the mountains for a couple years now and it's been so great.

I have a couple of private investors however their lending ability combined would not meet the down payment requirement.The question I'm submitting to the forum is, how can I structure creative financing for this deal including the down payment?

Hello @Tiffany Milan keep searching the forums you'll find someone who can assist, in the meantime try to attend as many of the BP webinars and read as many books as you can, to develop a firm knowledge base.

It will cost you a couple hundred bucks. 

I would double check with your accountant on that though as you don't want a nasty surprise down the road (and you know what they say about assumptions).As far as Providence & the East Side, I attended a neighborhood meeting a few weeks ago with some people from the neighborhood and some folks from the Providence Building Department.It does sound like they are leaning in favor of some additional regulations for AirBnBs in Providence, which may involve needing to get a special permit.

I wonder if I should just take the sale money and hold it for a couple years and invest in a property in the mountains (or Denver) once the market slows.
