It was a bit uncomfortable explaining the assignment fee to the seller at first but figured that one out too.

It is not the tenant's issue to provide routine maintenance no matter what was signed.John Corey

If you are uncomfortable with a partner look into some crowd funding type structures.

nope  ... but if they don't .. just call them and ask for what they want.. make sure your dealing with a reputable lender though don't want to get sucked into the " send me a deposit before I fund routine" 99% of those are frauds and will steal you money.. too good to be true these days in private/hml is dominated by these frauds..

The other benefit is it helps me build up my list of auction websites to check routinely. 

I have to regularly check my goals and end game to make sure I am laser focused with my daily routines and tasks to make sure they are moving in the right direction.

Routine issues such as a clogged drain, the plumber should report what he pulled back, if anything, and how far out was the blockage.

Since NY law says you cannot serve an eviction notice for the time being, make it UNCOMFORTABLE for him to stay there.

Do a search under Massachusetts landlord rights and you will find that it is allowed and expected that landlords do routine inspections.

So your trying to buy 100k properties I am buying a 100k car.. and the salesmen is selling me a 100k car. and I assume he is making a commission.. but not the normal care sales routine but very professional and polished.. so that's what I am saying get professional and get poslished know what the heck your doing then send out your mailers and close the heck out of them and make a bunch of money.
