Tax benefits, use of leverage, and a physical asset that you can see and touch.

I actually have a fee in my lease if a tenant wants me to physically pick up a payment.

Quote from @Dan Keefe: Hello everyone,I’m a traveling physical therapist but grew up in Maine and am looking to purchase multi families in Biddeford using an FHA and subsequently to house hack in.My question to the Southern Maine community is in regards to the rent data in Biddeford and Saco.

If that is the path moving forward we will be left without a home as of 9/21/24 which will create incredible financial, mental, and physical stress on our part.

@Carini Rochester I agree with Greg but to be clear Good Cause does not require a landlord to provide free housing, it just forces them go through the onerous and expensive and lengthy process of actually going for non payment eviction instead of a hold over proceeding, when the landlord knows that a monetary judgement is worthless and just wants possession of their rental unit back so they can fix it back up and rent it again hopefully to a great tenant.Also the problem with all this is that from 2019 to now, landlords have gotten used to having economically or physically vacant units and have priced that risk in. 

If you can find a precedent, that could bolster your argument significantly.Lean on the Physical Details: Four mailboxes, four sewer lines-those are big indicators that the property has been treated as a four-unit for some time.

How is physical occupancy?  

You must keep the tenants security deposit at a bank that physically operates a branch office in the State of NC.  

They also chose to use roku tvs without a physical on button. just terrible, terrible build quality. bought 4 and 2 are already damaged after a year.

Here's how I do my due diligence:1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where I think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then and only then do I pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.
