"Reasonable" is a matter of opinion.Assuming you have an inspection contingency, you can ask for basically whatever you want, with all parties knowing you can back out if you don't like what you see (or aren't allowed to see).Instead of asking him for a P&L (he might not even maintain a running P&L), you can ask him for a copy of his most recent Schedule E with black marker hiding all numbers but those for the subject property.

@Mike Hurney runs a couple of meetings on the North Shore, there is a good REIA in Chelmsford, @Ann Bellamy organizes the Black Diamond meeting in Waltham (2nd location in Worcester too) and @Justin Silverio does a quarterly meetup in Woburn (Though the one TONIGHT is on site at a finished rehab project in Reading).

Also check out the Black Diamond meeting in Worcester.  

I would just say that I just went to the expo and during the keynote that owner Del decided to drop the N word twice to prove that he can and also kept joking how his wife didn't like he dated black women.

It'd make doing some renovations a ton easier not having to run the hard black pipe.

I'm a big fan of South Buffalo ( family friendly owner occupied, established areas), Kenmore, University heights ( near University at Buffalo South Campus), and east part of Black Rock/Elmwood Avenue ( near Buffalo State College Campus).

I suggest Black Diamond which meets in Waltham and Worcester every other month as well as the Chelmsford REIA.  

Commercial lenders don't have black and white guidelines the way residential lenders do.

I am not an expert on MA evictions and court processes, although Inessa Shur is, and she will be speaking at Black Diamond on 2/21, so be sure to catch her presentation.On a more practical note, however, you won't be able have the tenant jailed for not paying rent.
