I have long form articles on both this Fair Housing law with section 8 and the scam tenants with fake info on our website.  

Suggesting to them buying their house for a wholesale range offer or lower dependent on the extent of the rehab, then having a contract in place that gives them a percentage of the profit to help get them back on their feet, paying off debts etc.

But I bought 3 more houses with the cash and now cash flowing $3000/month vs only $1200/month with that one paid off house.

I just closed today on the sale of the second house and have ended the nightmare!

Tenant initially says it’s a new roach problem that “started when I bought the house”.

If not, you’ll need to resolve these liens, which could complicate the investment.Current Occupants: The family living in the property could be protected under Massachusetts’ tenant and housing laws.

I did a search on the forums and insurance seems like it could be a major problem.I have houses in two different LLC’s in Texas and insurance is not an issue at all.

So I would suggest keeping your STR property geographically close and doing as much as possible to keep your profit% high as possible.As far as the actual house you use, I would just say - be honest, be fair and strive for the best area, most amenities, cleanest house, best communication, and any other extras you can get.

A few years ago there were a lot of get rich quick types, and I still get contacted by people who think they can buy 2 houses and retire on the cashflow. 

So in Real Estate, say your doing a "volume model", let's say sec8 housing.
