My wife and I run a mobile auto detailing business where we each run a truck.

You need to look carefully at it and at all the details

Find out the details of the prior eviction, as it will give you an idea of what you may be facing.

Also if this group is looking for a more detailed response  in addition to my adverse action notice as to why we are choosing another group, are the reasons listed above okay to use since they don't fall under any discrimination laws ( age, sex, religion) Thanks for your time and help with this

 all awesome info...I relate to this as I am often out of country..I have bought through trusted eyes for a buy/hold, never a flip.....could you chime in on either..1.regarding an online auction purchase, and seemingly growing trend... they seem to all say "as is", no contingencies, no views, no diligence...how in goodness name can you confidently make an offer on an online auction w/ no walk through contingency?

They can advise you on the details of the process. 

The more eyes the better, in my opinion.

I have carefully gone through the documents Lease Runner has created for Massachusetts and been very impressed with their ability to cover the Massachusetts laws in detail.

You need to be doing this type of analysis on each of your deals with this level of detail.

I believe that some overriding indicators for success is attention to detail, ability / willingness to learn and listening to the experience of others.
