Tell you a story.. so in MA, if you give notice to tenant to vacant, immediately the tenant would go to the board of health ---- board of health even told me straight up during my call that they use this trick for years.

I have an idea to get the building for cheaper by offering the current owners free or below market rent for the $650 unit (unfortunately they are in very poor health, need to get rid of the building, but want to stay in current unit) I know that the rents do not meet the 2% rule, but I am wondering in a situation where comparable buildings are selling for much more and in such a desirable / easy to rent neighborhood if you guys make exceptions to that rule?

2010 was a huge year for me....i've added a ton of rental units thru distressed sellers...my bandit signs have given me great leads...i bought a few properties sub2, flipped a few houses for quicker cash, held financing for buyers, sold a note, working on selling another note as we speak, bought some great cashflowing properties between 8-12k/unit that rent for beween 350-450/month...i can't find my post from this time last year, when we set goals for 2010, but if i could, if feel like i could scratch it off...now my last goal for 2010 was to purchase a new truck and get health insurance...the truck may have to wait til 2011..haha...anyone else?!?

Having building inspectors, zoning boards, health departments, environmental regulators and other officials to satisfy can be difficult and ultimately make any owner decide to dump a property.

But you must show a paper trail that supports the living person's claim of authority.Regarding getting signatures from an elderly person or someone in poor health, I recommend that whenever possible you go to see that person yourself.

Does BOH stand for board of health?

I believe it was Rich who originally found the following link that shows the health of your bank.

This allows me to offer myself benefits(401k, health insurance, discounts, etc.)

A seller who has just gone through a divorce, is headed to foreclosure, is in poor health, is moving from the area by a certain date, in other words, sellers who must sell to avoid a greater financial loss, these seller won't meet those definitions of MV.

Activue Duty military personnel aren't paid the greatest, but if I can double my Gross income to include my health benefits, I will no long continue extending my enlisted service.
