In Mass this would be illegal.

The mass health lien is 60k.

My wife and I reside in norton mass.

Midvale, West Valley, South Salt Lake, anything close to Trax Lines (Mass Transit) are going to be better for renting. 

I put out a mass text to my tenants and allow them to chose whatever method works for them.

I could send you a Mass one, but it wouldn’t apply 

That’s great advice, I hadn’t really considered that my good taste wouldn’t appeal to the masses :) thanks for the response, that helps a lot!

Now if an investor outside of California were to broaden their investments out of their home state and into California's market, I believe they would find properties and deals in abundance due to the fact that there is a mass amount of properties that are either abandoned or forgotten about, unpaid property taxes and preforeclosures are everywhere, and the commercial/industrial portion of unused properties is incredibly widespread especially in the greater Los Angeles area, with new market places and strip malls being built in the suburbs left and right.

@Joe Villeneuve  in the great GFC  mass foreclosures were a result of tenants not paying in many markets... and under capitalized and underwater owners.. defaulted with many ruining their credit for years because they did not realize that they needed substantial reserves to handle vacant properties... then you add in the areas were vacant properties get trashed and stripped then there was no hope for the owners.If you look at most homes that you buy today.. at least 50% of them are failed landlords that walked... this is true all through the mid west.So one needs to not just think that if there is a melt down again everyone becomes renters this did not play out that way last time... many left the area  ( think PhX Vegas) Many ended up moving in with family... 

Have you guys had better success with a mass mailing say 1 time a month or break the list in half and mail every 2 weeks?
