Attorneys in MA as automatically brokers so they're well versed in RE law and practice so I would check that they know how to specifically structure your deal. 

Perhaps the crawl is always wet and the soil has shifted and the pier dropped.

Nor the first scammy contact I received.All of the others have come from AirBnb, largely because of their push to have me lower my pricing, and take the first few with automatic booking.

@Wanda Wilkinson - Just by making it a rental doesn't automatically make you pay taxes when you sell. 

It will send reminders before payment day and also automatically charge late fee from tenants if they miss rent.

Small improvements don’t automatically increase the value of the property.

If it comes down to it, you have to be prepared to get a flight on short notice and cancel weekend plans or trade some shifts to travel to and resolve the issue. 

Hi @David Fairall - here's how I'd order my approach:1) Health and Safety issues (ie, GFI outlets)2) Domino issues (ie, inadequate gutters that lead to water damage in the basement)3) Value add items (ie, fresh paint job and kitchen remodel)4) Whatever's left (ie, automatic sprinklers)As a landlord, I'd never want to allow an issue to exist that could jeopardize the health and/or safety of a tenant, which is why I'd address it first. 

I’m wondering if it’s possible for a married couple to do this: 1- for spouse A to hold title to an investment property (in CA) as “sole and separate”. 2- for that property to *automatically* be transferred/inherited by spouse B upon the death of spouse A.
