PLUS in my mind a well seasoned very close relationship with a local community bank that is funding you is worth its weight in gold.. in the event of a water landing you have a much better chance of restructure with them than you would with the big funds out there and HML for sure.  ..

Could you get something from code enforcement which would carry more weight and try and stay out of the middle of this?

Can I engage multiple agents to get it rented out faster.

BUT if your aim is to have passive income from real estate by having many doors/ many tenants paying you rent then why not scale it up faster by buying few doors in one deal? 

They will get the job started much faster, they are juggling less projects (you might be his only project!)

Ah, the hellhole of Massachusetts for being a landlord...Yes, it is going to be your word against hers, but the fact that you live there is going to add to ton of weight to your side if she says the other person doesn't live there.

Bottom lineA lot of time and energy, but faster way to create wealth than working at a job and working overtime.

Nicer looking homes will get rented faster and have higher quality tenants over the tenants that are renting strictly based on sq footage.

Certainly would make lighting the stove faster. 

If the fan motor starts spinning the fan faster, then the capacitor is bad.
