What are your thoughts on his claims regarding the 16th amendment violation that taxes should only be collected on realized income, the transfer of money? 

All residential zones now allow multifamily and townhouse residences by-right.Zoning District Consolidation: Former "Residence A-1, A-2, B, and C" districts have been reclassified under "Residence C-1," which permits multifamily housing.Increased Housing Density: The amendment removes minimum lot area requirements, minimum lot area per dwelling unit, and lot width restrictions, allowing for denser residential development.Reduced Yard Setback Requirements: The minimum required setbacks (front, side, and rear yards) for residential properties have been reduced, allowing for more buildable area on lots.Elimination of Parking Requirements: The amendment removes all minimum parking requirements, reducing the obligation for single-family homeowners to provide off-street parking.Subdivision Flexibility: The definition of "subdivided lot" has been updated, making it easier for homeowners to subdivide their land for townhouse or multifamily development.Height and Floor Area Ratio (FAR) Changes: Floor area ratio (FAR) limitations for residential properties have been removed, and height limits have been increased to permit:Up to four stories in Residence C-1 districts.Up to six stories for inclusionary housing projects on larger lots.Anyone who's familiar with Cambridge knows that this is one of the most prestigious, elite, expensive, restrictive areas in the whole state, and for zoning of this magnitude to be passed is truly historic.

Hello @Michael Fluder,Whether a location makes sense depends on your goals.

I had worked with property owner previously, and he had reached out to me about selling the property. after going through the property with the owner and going through the deal analysis on bigger pockets, I went back to the property owner and advised him that I needed to get this property with little to no money down.

It's hard to go wrong learning how to live on less than you make. 

I’d keep it, do a little cash out refinance if you wanted to regain some of the $, and just rent it out or STR it and make some money on it..Appreciation always goes up, and a few years down the line (and/if interest rates come back down you could pull even more $ out Tax free!)

That’s fine down the line, but for your first property, I’d lean toward familiarity.2.

I completely understand almost all of the frame work and bases but just need actual advice from someone one on on.

I would not recoommend doing your first deal on properties that are 7 figures unless you are worth 8 figures.
