The 74k pages of tax code are absurd.

I have read a few articles that have said that turnkeys are bad because of poor location, or false information, the renovation wasn't done properly.

That is also false. 

We have also sold to home buyers in the area so you are false when you assume "zero demand from owner occupants there".  

So my parents (I'm 17) have bought a charter boat and started a chartering business which, starting in the fall when i go off to college, they will charter people around and make some absurd amount like 20K a week.

I'm looking for clarification on specific laws in Massachusetts regarding delinquent property taxes and tax certificates. 1) True or false... delinquent property taxes are only available to be purchased 1 year after the debters failed to pay?

But to call it tax evasion is false and reckless and exposes a lack of understanding of the specific statutes and subsequent decades of case law in sec 1031, Rev procedure 2000-37 (the safe harbor reverse exchange), rev procedure 2002-22 (Tenants in Common syndications), Rev procedure 2004-33 and 86 (Delaware statutory trust), and all of the various regulatory guidances we have for using 1031 exchanges in conjunction with personal property, vacation property, primary residences, retirement, and estate planning etc.The 1031 has for many decades been the  method of deferring tax on the sale of investment real estate. 

I found that I couldn't make the numbers work on several duplexes I was looking at, but adding the additional unit on the triplex allowed me to make the deal.Bottom line, find a great agent, a great property manger, keep the costs of incessant lead inspections in mind, know that property taxes there are absurd, screen your tenants very carefully, pick your neighborhood with great care, and you can make it work.

False, IMHO, than any investor is going to give you a better deal than selling retail and paying a commission.

Lots of voucher/section 8 tenants in those areas, which give a false cash-flow security.
