Also like @Christos Philippou mentioned, each town can be so different block by block, so make sure you are working with an agent that understands the intricacies of the town you're looking to invest in.Best of luck and keep us posted!

My name is Jean-Jacque, I am newly minted physician with ZERO experience with real estate but I am excited to learn about the field and would love to start to learn about picking property to rent and all its intricacies!

Aside from the major capital expenditures that I would escrow for, I have reservations about a few legal intricacies. 

Without knowing the intricacies of the tenant placement, any guess at whether you were mislead or not would be just that a guess.  

MA isn't a forgiving state to just pick it up and go, especially without familiarizing yourself with the intricacies that come with this state.

Hi Tyson Hosey,For you (and anyone else curious about the intricacies of the VA Loan), the VA Lenders Handbook is a great source for almost anything you can think of!  

A lot of agents will try to sell you on a particular property as a "great future rental" but if they don't actually own rentals, there is no way that they really understand the intricacies of the business well enough to make an educated recommendation.    

Good to see you've already got such a handle on the intricacies of the keyword alerts system :)

LLCs and Land Trusts are excellent avenues to limit you and your companys liabilities, however neither of them provide complete protections to removing those assets from the grasps of courts or creditors in situations where they may be attached--meaning that even with the limits of liability that legal structures may provide you, how you us the properties and attach their ownership in relation to your business activities, can still make them accessible in certain situations.I would offer that the best thing you can do is speak with a legal professional about the intricacies of your business plans, family plans, and wealth strategies.

While I do have my goals and basic business plan written out and ready to act on, I know that I still have a lot of learning left to do about the intricacies of real estate investing.
