Asheville has just recently started to feel like it's beginning to come back online, but a long ways to go for a full recovery.

Is the information about “In MA, tenants generally have 30 days to pay repair costs...” available somewhere online? 

I suggest you turn your moment into the best learning / earning moment.  

Review their online financials/annual statements.

I just looked online and saw that in Seattle for months to month lease the landlord is only required to give 20 day notice.

It seems you are falling for the alarmist rhetoric you’ve been reading and watching online.

In my experience, most of the online calculators are just taking an educated guess for you.

You are just earning some income.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

I would say earned it.I will check out bank financing.
