Hearing stories from others who were in similar situations was also a big motivator for me.

Seems managing a "property management" team (without taking on properties owned by others) would keep things consistent and allow for minor tweaks without jumping ship from one "complete" PM to another....sort of handling all aspects "in house" but not solo.

I am hoping to find distressed properties that I can buy with all cash for BRRRR and am also open to any sort of partnership.

These little things are the things that make guests feel connected to you.The rest will sort itself out!

.- Im thinking of not charging security deposit because of all the strict MA laws and just using the last months rent as a sort of security deposit, thoughts?

If not in the city, and not in the ETJ, then it's a lot easier, provided you can get water (probably need to drill water wells so thats a separate ground water district) and sanitation (some sort of onsite sewage treatment).

Driving for dollars and attending local real estate meetups can help you find motivated sellers and build relationships.

In my state (NY) you have to accept these sorts of requests unless you can find a valid reason not to.

If you have one close to you, they usually sell all sorts ofstuff pretty cheaply.

I’m curious to see if anyone has any experience in this sort of subject as if it would be easier to buy a home with a building already on it then ask the township for a permit or if we should continue to look to buy and build.
