@Raj SinghWhen you inherit tenants there really isn’t screening… they are already there… you are the new person… not them.  

@Adele Tegger the way I understand the law, it would not impact a mid term rental unless the person lives in the unit for longer that 12 months (ie they extend their stay to the point that they have occupied the property for more than 12 months).

What makes most sense for one person may not necessarily make the most sense for someone else. 

From personal experience- electric can be very easy, because if wired properly, all circuits should be separate already and connect to one breaker box.

You might be surprised—many successful people enjoy sharing their knowledge and helping newcomers.

Certain organizations such as the AICPA and the State board that issues the CPA license mention what a CPA can / can't do to retain his / her license.Providing a comfort letter is an 'attest service'.Furthermore, CPA firms are encouraged to have insurance, which may mention that the firm can not provide comfort letters.What the mortgage company is looking to do is potentially have another person to go after if the mortgage goes south.It is not worth it to a CPA to get a few hundred dollars but potentially get a lot more in risk exposure.

I am located in the north shore area of MA and got my two duplexes through house hacking but always will to share my experiences! 

Personally I would hustle and save money.

Do you think applicants would be willing to share the kitchen with 3 others?

I've never been the landlord for a commercial property but have leased commercial property before - I leased through a commercial real estate agent who was acting as a leasing agent for the property owner, and the property owner was the one who collected my rent and is who I made repair requests to so personally haven't dealt with a Commercial PM before but will continue to follow this thread to learn more!
