I already have a contractor I have been working with so if need be I can pull the trigger to work on rehabs.

Hello,I am just getting started in real estate and just recently bought our first investment property and was reviewing landlord tenant law in Massachusetts.I read that "Under MGL 186 § 15B, a landlord is only allowed to collect, as up-front charges to a tenant, (1) first month’s rent; (2) last month’s rent; (3) a security deposit equal to the first month’s rent; and (4) the purchase and installation cost for a key and lock" It also said that all other charges such as application fees, deposit to hold, pet fees, etc were illegal.Is this true?

Set a time on the last day of the month by 12 noon. to turn in their keys.. and you meet them and change the locks when they leave. 

There is a low possibility that a lot of property owners decided they wanted out and the increase in 2012/2013 triggered them to sell while they could.

If you're going to keep the FHA financing for 15-30 years, then you won't be able to change the title to an LLC without potentially triggering the due on sale clause.

If you see pad locks on the bedrooms doors, house rules posted, the fridge and cabinets sectioned off, you know you have a room rent scenario.  

If you have a personal mortgage on the property, your mortgage company will not agree for you to deed the property into a business entity and would trigger the due-on-sale clause on the mortgage.

Tammany Parish as locked for some reason.

Now change the locks and put an alarm system in.

In regards to communicating with a RE agent, am I locked down to the amount that I specify to get a pre-approval for?
