It's an endless game.Recently, one of the tenants being evicted reported a broken heater to code enforcement and the Department of Children and Families (DCF).

It is a bad idea to screen and then show homes with a smart lock code that I can change? 

That's pretty low for a 3-BR - I'm seeing the FMR for a 3BR in that zip code is $1,850.But at $1,300 for rent, you'll probably find HMLs that may lend you around $120k if you have a good credit score in my opinion, which means you'll need $45k + closing costs.

You have to fill out something on the property page and they send you postal mail to your address to which you have to enter a code.

If you'd like more info or a referral code let me know.

The IRS won’t allow this as a legitimate deduction.No Tax Benefit from Self-RentEven if you set it up through an S-Corp (which is more complicated), the rent payments you make would be taxable income to the S-Corp.

Do a thorough title search, lien search, code violation search, comdemnation list, ....3. 

You can search for my posts on the many benefits of that model.Good luck!

There's a Yale lock and I have the code, so far so good.
