A 2 bed, 1 bath apartment that allows pets would cost me close to $1,000 per month, which is what I rent the other unit for.Does it cashflow while I live here?

The downstairs unit is renting for $975 including a $25 pet charge.

If you want to make any changes to their arrangements, it must be done through a new lease (raising rent, pet deposits, etc).

Smartmove didn't have a place to put personal questions like...Do you have pets?

WLB has not only the lease, but at least a dozend other forms and notices you need (aplication form, lease, rules&reg, non-standard lease providsions, lead disclosure, CO and smke detector notice, pet agreement, 5 day notice, lease renewal etc. 

JWB is pet-friendly, which is important to me, and they are buying and rehabilitating older houses or building new houses in many communities, which improves the community and improves the lives of the people that are able to rent these homes.

I have a LTR, and I use the standard lease for my state, along with addendums that I added pertaining to pets and house rules such as smoking.

You may also want to make sure your pets are taken care of (discuss this with your Trust Attorney also): https://www.marketwatch.com/story/karl-lagerfelds-cat-choupette-could-inherit-part-of-his-fortune-2019-02-20Good Luck!

@Jeff Matthews you have hit uon one of my pet peves.Most people mis understand quit claim deeds.

that my due diligence was a bit lacking...was in a 1031 hurry and hadn't looked into MA's landlord laws nearly well enough, and relied on a lame realtor to educate me... now I find that you cant charge late fees, eviction is expensive, (especially if you have to deal with a tenant's personal Items),  and pet rules.. it all seems like it serves no one.Anyway, I often think about N Adams, and wonder how you feel it's doing?
