Mayor Marty Walsh has just filed a regulation for Boston that allows OWNER OCCUPIED short term rentals to continue - with annual fees, of course.However, for non owner occupied / investor-owned STRs, the proposed regulation would require the investor to get the property reclassified from residential to commercial. 

@Angela Henderson you're in the commercial forum here.

Great episode, as someone newer to investing determining what a good strategy is seems to be a moving target, so many shiny objects.One point made was that Loopnet was not a great resource for finding multifamily properties, but as a newbie to multifam/ commercial, does anyone have suggestions on where else to look?

Last year, we took out a HELOC on this property and used that (plus some cash of our own) to purchase a 6-unit for $875k with commercial financing and 25% down.

“I’ve had a change of heart over the years due to the economic times we live in now,” Soliman said, adding that his goal was to do everything he can for residential and commercial development.

Overall the cost is significant for that access.

There is also some commercial properties (buildings and lots) going up for sale along the main strip since the new BB&T/Truist building is going up where the old bowling alley used to be. 

As in, I'll need a commercial loan, based on the current rent of the property.For example, for a 3 million dollar 8 unit apartment complex, am I looking at 20% or 40-50% with current interest rate levels?

Started shopping other brokers and while comparing i foud out that my current Insurance broker put both houses under Commercial Generl Liability and not Residential. 

@Jeffrey Bland Mobile Home Parks are financed with commercial notes, not residential.
