@Beau Blinder 

Would you mind sharing the story of your father renting to a lawyer? I haven't come across renting to a non cooperative lawyer who uses the landlord/tenant law to their advantage.

@Doug Hadley 

I am interested in the outcome. Thanks for sharing your story, and I wish you much luck!

I agree with @Mike Hurney that not all contractors are equal. Be sure to attend MA real estate networking meetings hosted by BP members such as www.massrealestate.net and Black Diamond events hosted by @Ann Bellamy to become more knowledgeable, as well as make important contacts to further your investing. Feel free to reach out to me with specific questions. I have experience as a real estate agent, contractor and investor. Good luck, and hope to meet you at an event.

Hello @Matthew Conroy 

Welcome to BP! There are many MA investors here that can help you with analyzing areas and specific deals. Also look into attending the free Black Diamond networking events hosted by @Ann Bellamy I recommend that you get to know @Justin Silverio and @Shaun Reilly as they are very active here on BP and in the MA local REIA circuit. I would be happy to answer any questions or help in any way I can. I am a real estate agent, contractor, and investor. Good Luck!

@Account Closed Definitely check out the Black Diamond networking events. I am a real estate agent, contractor and investor, so feel free to reach out anytime with questions. If you are looking for specific types of property, I would be happy to help. I have experience buying and selling condos in Brookline. Look forward to seeing you at an event.

You should attend a Black Diamond Networking event in Waltham, contact @Ann Bellamy 

for more information. You will meet many investors from all areas in and around Boston. @Justin Silverio also has networking events. I also recommend contacting @Shaun Reilly 

as he lives close to Boston.

I would be happy to discuss all markets North and West of Boston. As an agent and contractor, I have renovated and sold property in Boston, (Brookline specifically), but most of my business is North and West of Boston. Feel free to reach out to me with any specific questions. Good luck with the move.

I don't recommend this practice for all landlords.

What crazy landlording stories have you heard of?

I agree with Aaron, that September IS the month to rent in Boston.
