Hi all 

Im a newbie in the real estate game, joined biggerpockets.com about a month ago and just got my first investment property located in Lynn Massachusets  (2 family home) I'm a full time chef,full time student and also trying to get my real state license. I don't know nothing about n how to fix things n a house but I thing I have is the desire to succeed n the real estate game. Looking for a mentor that will guide me n the  right path.

does anyone experience an eviction n the 

Massachusetts area? How costly is it ? Tell me your past experience? 

Thank you,

Evictions in MA are what they are. They aren't tenant-friendly or landlord-friendly. I have been through several evictions over the years. I always do fine. If you have your paperwork in order and you understand the laws you will do fine. If you dont fully understand the laws hire an attorney for the first one or two or until you are comfortable on your own. Personally I cant see paying $200/hour for an attorney to tell the judge my tenant is behind on their rent and I want them to move out.
