Good job!

There are often church groups that can help, but he needs to start looking for a new job-he should have done that as soon as he was laid off. 

I charge a really high fee and require the tenant to carry bite insurance.Inspections are done on a schedule and always recorded with pictures and/or video.

Couple of questions on this one, as I have not closed on the property yet, but it is scheduled for next week.  1. 

After some travel over the past few years, I find myself back in Boston with a job that could shape up to be pretty okay in the long run. 

I don't let tenants paint anything because they largely do a crappy job, and I don't negotiate anything on rent.

Realtors here do a very good job of listing props for what they will really sell for..

Maybe the landlord works a normal job on top of landlording or otherwise has a lot going on.  

Congrats - beautiful job on the porch

While it's true that if the seller entered into a contract with a new buyer and wanted the same title company to provide escrow and title services that title company may want the release signed for their own internal audits, there would be no reason seller and new buyer couldn't just retain a different title company to handle the job.
