If you can find a 4 family in MA with centralized heat (oil or gas) and knob and tube wiring you could get $60,000 from mass save for your project plus a bunch of free stuff.

Evicting a tenant from a rent-controlled unit typically requires a valid legal reason, such as non-payment of rent, violation of lease terms, or the property owner wanting to occupy the unit themselves (owner-occupancy).

You are not required to pay upfront costs (and shouldn't, in my opinion.)I require written verification from utility companies (water, gas, electric) that utilities have been assigned to Tenant effective the first day of occupancy; no confirmation = no keys and lease approval withdrawn).

It was very time consuming to call/text them to validate and pre-screen by myself.

We made several improvements to the property when we got it - a totally new gas line, a totally new water line including all the lines from the street and pex plumbing installed.

What we are thinking of now doing is hiring a mold inspection company to check out their unit and make sure their claims are valid.

Jobs, stores, roads, healthcare services, and gas stations can all be destroyed in a disaster, as is often shown in the news.

Chris, you’re certainly entitled to your opinion, and yours is at valid as mine.  

Your standard landlord policy isn’t going to be valid.  

If we lived in Satellite, we probably would get gas and use the Commissary more.
