Just because people are old, does not mean they are right :)I had to tell a disabled lady, raising her 9 year old grandson, who just lost her elderly dad who lived with them, that she had to find a new place to live.

Hello everyone, Im coming out of the shadows with a question for you brilliant RE folks. I've enjoyed BP forums and especially the podcast for a few years now. I have a situation/question I hope i can get some wisdom ...

This is NOT an investment to sell, it would be the primary residence for my wife, our son, and my elderly parents.  

According to the DBPR agent I spoke with, it is most often the elderly and people with a poor grasp of the English language that are the victims of the cons.

She's very elderly and we've been using a family friend of hers to help on her side as she is out of town.

This is why a single mother with 2 kids would get more than a single elderly person.

Also, I had other low income properties that I could fill the person in with.But at the end, it was too much hassle to deal with and didn't have it in my conscience to put an elderly disabled individual on the street.

The key is to have a clear exit strategy before purchasing the property, and whenever possible, to have a ready buyer waiting in the wings to whom you immediately re-sell the property.The key to doing a no-money-down deal is simple:Structure it so you do not have to take out-of-pocket cash to make it work.With the guidance of a mentor/trainer or professional advisor, you will find no-money-down deals a powerful way to acquire instant equity in properties with little or no money out of your own pocket.Here is a great example:A new real estate investor called on several “For Sale By Owner” ads in his local newspaper and internet ads.He found that one elderly couple was selling their home in order to free them to get into an elderly care center.

Forstarters, we have great respect for our elders and know how to provide anenvironment that is comfortable for them.

So after serving notice you want to get a court date (summary process)FAST14 day would have been little faster (especially since they have a poor payment history)if they have kids or elderly and since Mass is so tenant friendly they might still get to stay for another 30 days for FREECash for keys for me involves a little more out pocket $$$you're going to be out more than the month they haven't paid by the time it works itself through court. maybe offer a months rent in different place and help with moving truck.you want to make appt to check out your unit in the meantime, people that don't pay also don't care about things like leaky faucets or repairsmasscourts.org has any tenant in Mass that has been a plaintiff or defendant inMass housing court .
