Great idea - please count me in as well!

Just realized we were only taking about up-front fees so the late fees wouldn't be applicable. My apologies

One fee that I think we're forgetting is late fees - which can be charged, but only after the rent is 30 days past due. You can actually begin the eviction process if the rent is past due a single day - go figure. http://www.mass.gov/ocabr/docs/landlordrights.pdf

Brian - great post. I found myself focused on the same list of rights and responsibilities the other day. I was surprised to learn about the inability for a landlord to charge a late fee until 30 days late, but I will note that you can start eviction proceedings the day after rent is due. Here's a pretty comprehensive doc if people want to read more about landlord rights and responsibilities is Mass http://www.mass.gov/ocabr/docs/landlordrights.pdf

Thanks Willie! Am headed into some meetings beginning at 9 - can I call you at the number listed in your contact information at 4pm est?

Hi everyone - I'm looking for a real estate agent who has expertise in Greater Boston - specifically someone who is knowledgeable with regards to the Revere and Everett market - and can work with me in my search for a multifamily property for purchase.  Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.   

Hi James - sorry for the late response; I hadn't logged on in a couple of days. I'd love to speak with you about where I am in the process and what I'm looking to do. Should I call the 315 number? Or do you want to send me a colleague request (being new here I'm not sure the protocol)? Thanks!

Hi everyone - thanks for all that replied on this thread. Just as an FYI, the advice I've received thus far (from people I've spoken with) is to work with a attorney who is based in the state where I plan to file and to file the LLC in he state where I plan to buy the property (rational is that there would be lower fees in doing so). I'll update the post when I've had he discussion with someone more familiar with the local upstate NY market and familiar with real estate law in my target area. Thanks again to all

Dylan Tanaka and Ann Bellamy thank you both! I will definitely contact the attorney Ann mentioned. I'll google his name and if I have any issues finding him I'll let you know. I really do appreciate the feedback and I'll update the post letting people know what I find out. Thanks again!

Hi everyone - I've read a lot of threads and articles on BP thus far concerning this topic but I haven't come away feeling all the more informed. I do want to talk to a professional(s) thought as a next step - that much I know. For those that wrestled with this question as they started out, would you be willing to provide the name of an attorney - ideally one based in Massachusetts (in case I want to sit down with the person)? Thanks for any info you can offer!
