@Kimberly Lima  Unlicensed wholesaling, as it's commonly described (get a property under contract that you have no intention of actually buying, find an end buyer willing to pay more, assign the contract and collect a fee) is illegal in Massachusetts - and most other states. 

Curious if that’s common or not.

The podcast idea seems to be a common theme.

Hey @Jonathan Dempsey, that sort of thing is pretty common out here.

I only have two electric meters so there are technically no common areas. 

I've seen it happen a couple times.Most common materials for light renovation work are still the same here....paint, flooring, etc...

Its pretty common to pay the bank down 100% of proceeds so you end up with the last lots free and clear ..  

The most common way to buy an investment property with a low rate is to either get a conventional mortgage (fannie / freddie) or if you have equity in your home you can take out a heloc on your home and use that to pay for the investment property.

Very common.

We also had a hoarder in the past year and reaching out to the city for a health/safety inspection got the ball moving on that one.
