Turns out a wholesaler already had it under contract for a short sale and were just listing it to fulfil the formality.

@Henry Centola Welcome.Licensed home inspectors have a lot of qualifications to fulfill, I'd get in the Mass.gov site and call a few.

I'm a lifelong resident of Flushing and currently live in Bayside.

I hope there is something concrete in The Act that I can use to ensure that the business agreement of the lease is fulfilled by the tenant.

I would like to buy a multifamily in the future, to house hack possibly, as soon as I fulfill my primary residence clause in my mortgage contract.Now for the questions.What would be the wisest way to set myself up as far as collecting rents, deposits, utilities?

As a life long "Memphian", I suggest The Bar-b-que Shop on Madison Ave.

I'm not looking to rehab however minor cosmetic work is ok, but would prefer it to be turnkey ready.I have my finances in place, with an existing property to rent with a signed lease agreement, and could therefore proceed with buying a house with a tenant in place very quickly.If you could be of assistance to me in fulfilling this plan please reply.Thanks!

For fulfillment you can do it yourself to save money if you are broke, but ultimately if you want better response rates and focusing your time on value-add, then you will want to outsource fulfillment to a shop that has economies of scale and can offer you great rates.

@Sean Ryan If I understand the land contract correctly, it's just a form of owner financing and while it might keep the lot in your friend's name while the buyer pays it off, it will still go out of his name once the buyer fulfills the contract and owns the land.  

Ingrid, no the fulfillment center will not be right across the street.
