Hey Josue, happy to connect, I was looking for multifamily just a few months ago and have some good areas in mind down here!

Currently, my friend and I split the monthly mortgage payment but he pays all utilities.

I run a monthly meetup which is happening Feb 22 (tomorrow) in Halifax. 

My company is Red Key Services LLC if you want to look me up. :)

The goal is to acquire enough rental properties to generate $10,000 in monthly cash flow after expenses.

If its your primary home, it is not a bad idea, if you are comfortable with the monthly HOA fees.The question I have is, what are you planning to do after 2 years? 

Now 5 months later he just calls someone out there without calling us.

I haven't noticed any services that handle appealing property tax assessments in the Bay Area here.

I'm pretty sure you can do BOI filings for free on the FinCen site.However, our CPA recommends possibly using a third-party service because many of them may make changes/updates (e.g., your address changes) easier. 

. - Will provide receipt for first and last months rent.- Im thinking of not charging security deposit because of all the strict MA laws and just using the last months rent as a sort of security deposit, thoughts?
