Having gotten over the "first property" hump, your chances of meeting your goal are a lot higher so congratulations.I'd also recommend checking out one of your local real estate groups such as Black Diamond REI in Massachusetts or RIREIG in Rhode Island.At the very least drop in every few months or so - besides the networking opportunities, there are often very valuable updates on new or proposed legislation affecting landlords.The general public knows that we're running a business when we rent out property, and expects us to know all the laws affecting us (and has no compassion if we don't), so being a member of a local group or visiting periodically is one way to try to stay current with those laws.Again, welcome and congratulations!

Hi, I'm looking to find a tax advisor or attorney to help me figure out how to create my entity to invest in the U.S. as a Canadian.We are a group of Canadian investors who would like to invest together and we are really confused with all the legislation in the U.S.

See the following on georgia.gov website. http://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/20152016/158762.pdfYou may be shocked to hear that the local municipality may still put a lien to be paid at closing unless you follow the proper procedures to have the lien removed from the property.

I believe that the city council has just passed some legislation regarding Accessory Dwelling Units, which a tiny house may fall under.

I actually thought I recalled some legislation forcing the industry into 90% minimums...I'm going to disagree with the Trane recommendation.

Our landlord tenant protection legislation is identical to Massachusetts in regards to the 14 day notice and the length of time it takes to evict and we can not charge fees.
