Like you said, probably not so easy here in MA but you did give me an idea about alternative uses...I typically focus on properties that I can make buildable by solving zoning issues, access issues or minor wetland issues.  

My mark up is always lower than the direct lender because I don't spend money advertising during the Super Bowl or buying a private jet for my CEO, and we don't have layers of management we need to pay.

When they move out, I can access their account to charge for cleaning and repairs.

You can actually to to the NMLS's consumer access page to look up a lender to check licensing.

They could also sell the property to you and lease it back, allowing them to remain in the home while accessing liquidity.

Is it true Avail would be providing you access to their credit history? 

.- Tenant submitted a work order for low water pressure in 2 bathrooms- Tenant submitted a work order because the garage door doesn't close all the way and left a 2-3 inch gap at the bottom- Owner initially refused to address either work order- Owner demanding the tenants place furniture pads on each piece of furniture- Owner calling multiple times to speak through the work orders, asking when they've been scheduled, calling a couple days later requesting the invoices- Owner calling because they want to access their storage in the basement so they can remove several pieces of furniture being stored- Owner now emailing requesting multiple property inspections throughout the lease cycle- Owner questioning my experience and relative PM knowledge because I'm not following up with her in a timely manner (the following day after the work order)Keep in mind, this is 2 weeks after the tenants had moved in and the tenants are very happy in the home.This is something we see on a regular basis.

Mainly because they advertise saying they have been investing over the last 15 years and been wildly successful.

The property is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath (one of the rooms is the master with its bathroom and access to go outside), with a separate garage and an unfinished garage unit.
