Angela Harding TPM Realty  Sorry my english not good I from ukraine, what it means "rent a broker's" Rent a brokers mate is when the officer of your company is a licensed broker so you can legally operate.$1,000 per violation and per day if you manage properties without a broker.I know if folks managing thousands illegally in Toledo.If only I was a whistle blower hehe10% fee from the total fine isn't a bad pay day, right...?

Both of those neighborhood (all of City of Boston in fact) would need for you to be an owner occupied operator, are you planning on moving to NE?

Let me address some of your questions about operating this type of setup.

I personally just attend 1 to 3 auctions in my home state of SC.Personally, I attend as many auctions as I can :)I actually have my list of favorite states and counties, but with good organization and a detailed plan there are no limits if you operate online.

This duplex is in a short term rental are that I currently operate in.

In all the states where we operate, we have been vetted by the real estate commission and our attorneys to make sure we follow their marketing rules and guidelines.It’s best to have everything vetted by a real estate attorney who can then ensure that the language used in your contract and MLS listing complies with local state laws. 

Unfortunately, a lot of lenders tend to operate better with certain types of projects, which is also true in the inverse, that lenders that operate better with F&F or DSCR tend to struggle on the underwriting with other types. 

Then decide if you want to move forward as an operator in the storage space.  

You would have to seriously level up if you want to get out of the trap that bad operators have set with the pricing wars just to cover their expenses.

Most leasing companies operating in this space are familiar with the process and handle it efficiently for the most part.
