Quote from @Edward Barrett: New investor here trying to stay in my local market (Dayton, OH).Since I've started looking for my first deal I've come across a few section 8 properties that seem to pencil, but I'm a bit loath to jump into that kind of deal.

So I arranged the large local home buyers to meet at the property. 

.: Quote from @Dustin Tucker: Hello Joelle, What are the laws like for landlords, how long does it take for an eviction to take place?

Your local county/city has most likely adopted the international building code as most do.  

Stick to the lease agreement and landlord-tenant laws—most headaches come from trying to make exceptions.

But I don't think I fully understand the law surrounding this and the actual ways it should be used.As I understand it, this is what you could do with such a clause if you are buying a property and the seller is financing it to you:As an example using easy numbers, you could buy a property through seller financing for a price of $100,000.

If not, you’ll need to resolve these liens, which could complicate the investment.Current Occupants: The family living in the property could be protected under Massachusetts’ tenant and housing laws.

There is well developed  case law that points to a guarantor having to receive a benefit in order for the lender to hold them accountable in the event of a default etc.

@Michael VelezThe best thing you can do is join a local real estate investing club.

Networking is key, so connect with local investors and lenders who specialize in multifamily deals.
