I was wondering if anyone had any info on the matter or if I needed to talk directly with a real estate attorney and if so if anyone could provide me with their contacts..?

I'd love to talk to other people in a similar situation or experienced REIs.

What I'm talking about wanting to do sounds like what you are doing.  

And many times, you can get non-compliant tenants to move out before the eviction process plays out by talking with them.I am not aware of a way to account for tons of pets unless you convert the property to a pet boarding business.  

Some people don't like to talk on the phone. 

I would talk to a probate attorney in your state.

So there are instances where it might make sense.As for "reasonable", I think 60 days is probably not reasonable unless you are talking one open house a week or similar.

Are you talking about buying in Redlands, or nearby, or somewhere completely separate? 

@David To  I would highly suggest talking to @Kevin Fox.  

I focus primarily on the south shore but anytime you have any questions I'm always interested in talking with MA investors!
