That is a pretty basic thing and common UNLESS you spelled out something different in their rental agreement.

After some travel over the past few years, I find myself back in Boston with a job that could shape up to be pretty okay in the long run. 

I also notice that @Gregory Schwartz mentioned Huntsville in particular—I definitely think that it’s a strong market for long-term appreciation.As for your concerns about investing out of state, I think an investment strategy that is as close to passive as possible would be best.A do-it-yourself approach—where you acquire a property, place a tenant, interview a bunch of property managers, and handle maintenance yourself—is going to be pretty tough to do remotely.

I had a pretty successful career doing that and made good money but, it was not my passion, I love real estate and everything about it the good and the bad.

Price was pretty good for that reason. 

If your land can sustain a data center (power requirements are huge) then the land would sell for a pretty penny.

Yes - you should be able to find some good DSCR Loan Options with 20% down easily - 15% down potentially available but the rates/requirements are pretty high on that front right now

I’d say that’s pretty naive. 

We see it in our market here in College Station, Tx. also... the bigger properties do really well during our peak season but tend to be pretty stagnant during the week and sometimes even the weekend during our slower season.

I used Stacey Lancaster (she's pretty active on Bigger Pockets) and she was fantastic. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.
