@Matt Dupee I am also new in MA, but here are my thoughts on what I am doing right now: The best way to get started is to commit to Real Estate and set some "Education goals"  1) Listen to every podcast from BP / ASK BP Video's ( I go to the gym and listen to 1.5 podcasts a day doing that)2) Become a PRO member and watch every Webinar @Brandon Turner does.  

In addition, for clarity, the homeowner does indeed have a right of redemption it is just prior to sale.  

Also Grant Cardone is a excellent guy to follow you can find plenty of his youtube videos online on the subject

They also made a video of the current condition of the unit when they entered it. 

Thanks for the clarity on your investment size.

This goes back a ways - video

I made a video introducing my house for a prospective resident who lives overseas (http://www.aiyouliliang.com/129w/index.htm). , introducing the area around the house, the layout of the house, and a few common house chores that they are expected to complete and how to do them (i.e. garbage, snow removal, grass cutting, keeping basement humidity correct...)1) In the future, is it a good idea to post a video for prospective tenants and ask them to watch it first before showing?

Just like you explain in your videos! 

Some foreclosure websites also have how to videos.

Call me Friday to schedule a time we can talk. ( always get their number) but thus far 93% of the time they call me.Mike, and others another great idea we use is every single week do a video of the progression of the house to show your investor what has been accomplished.
