What interest rate should be the max I would take?

Mine are up to an hour away max. I

I would normally bid 85-90% of the asking and get a counter offer, but with this property the price has been reduced below the max I was willing to pay for the property, that I think I want to go in at the asking price and get it under contract.

The trick is that you need to do a "filtered search", and modify the entry date to date back 14 days max. I

I would also call around to local PMs and see what their standard pet policies are.I would start with $250 Pet Fee for one pet and $500 for two pets (max). I

So, I think $7k or maybe $8k max is a reasonable amount for that type of work on an average sized house...

Have more faith in your property manager than a priest in Christ and you'll never go wrong.

great part of this business, max, is that you are the boss and get to have your policy...I favor tenant satisfaction for long term renewals, like your folks, but you have to set limits, like I would not yo yo the lease amount  because they may well get a new pet and that rate was for the wear and tear of the one that lived there....I do one free lockout, mostly so they will not try to break in but then charge your same fee after that...you have to do what works for you more so than worrying about being mean or nice...you allow pets and actually show up to let them in, so you are ahead of the curve on accommodating people in my book......best of luck 

Lots of construction in Southie and Dorchester ma is over priced to the max. I

I understood that non-streamline 203K loans provide up to 50% of the loan for repair, which would mean that the max I could get would be $150K-$200K.
