Here in Pittsburgh we are a commonwealth state, research it but I would say the state is very tenant friendly.

@JR Nieman, this was in Commonwealth Park, just outside Plaza Midwood/uptown area.  

@Christian FerreiraThere are quite the number of laws and regulations for landlords (lessors) and tenants (lessees) in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts making this state quite tenant friendly.

If a complaint is filed about what you are doing with the Commonwealth Division of Real Estate that you are acting as an unlicensed agent, the way you have this set-up, you would have a hard time defending yourself.Reading books and listening to podcasts about wholesaling is not training.

Thus far, we have financed our purchases (or refinanced after rehabs) with a local bank (First Common Wealth), which will only offer ARM (five year with 5.5% initial rate), with a early pay-off penalty of 2%, and a requirement for personal backing (i.e., my partners and I sign for the loan).With interest rates forecasted to increase, we were attempting to secure and diversify our debt with some fixed rate products.
