Massachusetts Costs VS Tenant Rights

[Joe Languirand]

Hi Everyone,  

I'm finally getting ready to take the plunge and start investing in multi units.   I've lived in Mass for most of my life and the values of properties have always been on the high side.  I'm curious what people think about weighing out the costs versus the Tenant Rights of the state.   I've seen and heard the nightmare stories of the Tenants who don't pay and stay in the property for super extended periods of time.  I understand this can happen in any market but I know that MA is also over the top siding with Tenants as opposed to Owners.

The reason I ask this is that I'm trying to determine whether or not NH would be a better place to start.  

Anyone have any thoughts or insight on this?   Any input is appreciated.

Thank you,
