I'm no expert in MA, and it is a wide question.I'm from NYC and have bought a few condos in Springfield, MA as rentals.

@Michael Heisterkamp a boom box blasting Carly Rae Jepson’s 2011 hit “Call Me Maybe” on repeat, combined with wearing some of the masquerade masks from Eyes Wide Shut might have a similar effect.

I thought I remember hearing, in the last year or two, about some massive state-wide rent control legislation in Oregon.

I need to remember that I work in a world where rent rolls as presented are for the most part close to actual, and market information sources are widely available to verify reported rents.

Things like dormers and cut up areas really add a lot of time, while big wide open roof areas can go pretty fast with metal. 

I've been asked by a relative in Oregon to find out about selling a note for about $100K on a manufactured home (double wide) on 1.2 acres in Irrigon, Oregon. 

Lots now need to be 55 feet wide to build on.

On January 1st, rent control was enacted state-wide. 

In this case we look far and wide, extending both search radius and time frame.

There is a very wide difference among agents when it comes to negotiating training and ability to negotiate.
