I currently own two duplexes here in Columbus, Ohio, and I’m actively looking to expand my portfolio with additional multifamily properties. 

Almost any time I want to learn something new I can locate a book or two or three on the subject and spend very little money to broaden my horizons.

I've had two tenants call me complaining about bed bugs.

I don't go into my business tactics for two good reasons: 1.

I would like to invest here but there are two large hurdles: Negative cashflow down paymentI feel that Boston is a fantastic city to invest in.....if you are well capitalized.

If the loan is not being serviced by a third party then odds of getting this are going to be slim as most mom and pops don’t know how to do this but yes they should.  

If there are two borrowers, then of course if a POA is used it would be limited to one borrower...If both borrowers were available and/or decided to attend they would both sign the loan and therefore no POA.2.

Some report bitcoin has two values ( intrinsic) storage and exchange.

I am sure every state is a little different or have nuances but for sure as Greg mentioned materialmen can file a lien and then just wait.. the other thing they can do is a court action for unjust enrichment claims.. those are the two ways Materialmen protect their interest at least out here on the Left coast.. 

House hacking with two children can be tougher than expected because you will always need to take a larger or the largest unit which will reduce your cash flow on the property even more.
