If these are truly exceptional homes for the area (Company CEO/heart surgeon/society entertainment home caliber) maybe approach the top tier realtors in the area & see what you can negotiate.

Much of it is just plain wrong and exposes their followers to all sorts of legal problems for heeding their bad advice.Just yesterday, another BPer asked about starting up a property management business and pointed me to a website that insists that property managers need no real estate license in MA.I spent a few minutes of searching and came up with a link to MA state law that says there are only three exception - the property owner, a salaried employee of the property owner and a hotel reservation worker. 

Now that I think about it, I can not think of a single question I would ask a BUYER, with the exception of: prove you can buy it, and when do we close.Their business does not matter to me.

But unfortunately, you can't do any work to the property except tenant screening and rent collecting.  

That makes total sense, except that's exactly why I'm asking the question.  

Non-refundable move-in fees are limited to only tenant screening reports, criminal background checks, credit reports, and cleaning fees.MA = we can not charge any of these fees with the exception of cleaning fees after they move out if there are actual damage and not just normal wear and tear.Total non-refundable move-in fees are limited to 10% of the first full month’s rentMA = as stated above - no additional fees can be chargedPayment Plans Required –Landlords must allow an installment plan to pay a security deposit, a pet deposit, move-in fees, and last month’s rent.

I do not have very much experience in real estate except buying my first house, but I have done alright with that.

There is one property that I own that is a bit trendier, so that is the exception to the rule as when it "pops" there is also a nice value to a different color scheme.As for the other properties, it's easier to use a neutral color and keep things simple.

I don't really have any other advice except to get a business plan together but I wanted to say good luck!

I asked several different questions about the house except whether or not the tenant was a section 8 tenant.
