My state has started to crack down on it as well. they are aware of the issues you talk about the U tubes the guru's etc.. they will follow up on any complaint and if its deemed selling without a license then there will be action taken . which usually includes cease and desist and for first offense modest fine.But like when I was talking to someone I know in the division enforcement here in Oregon she made the point that most professions in an around building remodeling lending etc all need licenses..  

No offense taken at all! 

The bigger concern and question I have is do you ever look past someone's criminal background if it has been a very long time since an offense? 

It's mortgage fraud to lie, federal offense, 10 years, 100K fine.

No offense to people in that area, but you are in Billerica now so I assume you have friends and family in the area.

Sorry to be so offensive...

No offense, but the picture you posted of the kitchen doesn't warrant anything other than the cheapest, working appliance.  

You are an elusive bunch, no offense intended : )I have been doing most of the research on my own, pulling data from citydata, zillow and the like.

But I'm just an ol' grouch anyway, so don't take offense :)   My goal is quality over quantity.  

Fine your tenants, and back it up with video, escalating charges for repeat offenses.
