Massachusetts landlording is tough, and the court system is heavily tenant slanted.

Yes, that's a good point, the horizon is long and quite frankly, the cash flow after 15 years is so heavily discounted, it does not add much more to the NPV total

I haven't tried to do these lately cause I learned that it's hard to have a positive cash-flow when one finances a property so heavily.

Does the rehab costs really get influenced that heavily by where the property is from county to county or from one part of the metro area to the other?

I never see them around here anyway, so I'm quite certain they are banned or heavily regulated in some way.As for the yellow letters, I find it fairly interesting that you actually had a couple people call you to be taken off the mailing list.

You can go after multifamily with value add deals using hard or private money.Increase the rents and occupancy and increase the value of the property based off the income approach.Commercial is based off the income it generates as a main factor in an appraisal for refinance or selling.With residential it is the comparable sales approach weighted most heavily.

The people that don't have a nickel to their name do social media to find properties because it's free and just takes time but so does everyone else.There is a bunch of sellers who are up in years that there only form of communication is getting the mail.They have not or DO NOT want to adopt to today's technology.So there is gold in that because these property owners will not be on the internet or do social media.So I believe heavily in mailings but it is about timing,the message,and marketing to the correct target audience.

We're not really in the market heavily for SFRs anymore, but they are finding us.For whatever reason I have seen better deals recently.

Eventually, you will rely heavily on that local bank as you continue to grow and your traditional finance options decrease.

Have seen builders be totally unnegotiable with nothing less than full price,and have seen same ones discount heavily when the market turns.Will, am a little biased having spent a good chunk of life selling RE, but reducung sales price an amount equal to the closing costs to reduce commission isn't something I have experienced.
