I don't plan on buying anything that does not at least have me in the black from day one, even at a meager return.

If you are looking for an investor friendly attorney in MA, there is a link on the resources page of the Black Diamond site, which is in my signature below.There are also other attorneys who attend our Black Diamond events, and other REIA's, so you might meet one there that you are comfortable with.

You should attend a Black Diamond Networking event in Waltham, contact @Ann Bellamy for more information.

It is important to set the condition at the start of each lease, with date-stamped photos, in case there is any doubt or dispute.Also, professional cleaners will be able to tell you if they see animal urine (black light) or recommended stain treatments/etc. and it was declined.

You could try Black Hills Federal Credit Union-they're newer to Sioux Falls.  

I would see a "legal mess" stemming from inappropriately choosing a tenant over another (black/white, kids/no kids, gay/straight, the usual bad decisions of fair housing)...treat S-8 folks as a standard tenant really, it's not difficult to get started.What you do need to know is that the S-8 process is SLOW!!!

Thank you so much for letting me know about the Black Diamond event.

My ARV was based on selling to a homebuyer; putting in black stainless steel appliances etc.

@Eric Black Great idea!  

I have Johnny red, black and blue at my office hehe
