I would also factor in 10% for PM (just to be safe and conservative) PMI from the FHA loan would be between .85-1% of the loan value, paid monthly until you reach 20% equity in the property and refinance the loan. 

You can send it for anyone you paid any amount to, but for sure those people, even if they were a private contractor, better to be safe than sorry. 

If you make your house lead safe you will need another lead cert every time you have a new tenant.

I can screen them as if they were a new applicant before it's allowed to go through) I can do here, to stay safe?

Is the investment a safe place for their money?

Safe Haven - Japan is the second largest real estate investment market in the world, just after the U.S. and considered a safe haven from market volatility. 4.

Or any advice on how I can get a good contract on my hands that I would feel safe using in Massachusetts?

If yes,keep it and let the tenant follow their pipe dreams of home ownership somewhere else.Don't make their problems yours.If she needs section 8 to pay her bills,she can't safely finance a stick of gum let alone your property and you'd be headed for a long an expensive foreclosure before long.Now if YOU need to sell because you can't afford to repair it or it will need major repairs like a new roof,appliances,etc. and you haven't been setting aside money every month to pay for them well then that's different.Put it on the Bigger Pockets marketplace and let one of us buy it from you and relieve you of the burden.Good luck.

For that matter, prime loans are not a safe haven either, but a discussion for another time.
