Hello,I am just getting started in real estate and just recently bought our first investment property and was reviewing landlord tenant law in Massachusetts.I read that "Under MGL 186 § 15B, a landlord is only allowed to collect, as up-front charges to a tenant, (1) first month’s rent; (2) last month’s rent; (3) a security deposit equal to the first month’s rent; and (4) the purchase and installation cost for a key and lock" It also said that all other charges such as application fees, deposit to hold, pet fees, etc were illegal.Is this true?

I am going to fill out the application at bloomfield bank and see if they are more interested.Anybody in the Indianapolis area have any other commercial/portfolio lenders, that aren't strangled by the fannie/freddie 10 requirement?

Apparently, people driving by had been watching us working on it.We took an application from a single mom with a young daughter who worked at the local gas station.

If so, go ahead and exchange info and get them an application.

At all of my properties we have pest control inspection every year and do 2 applications for insects, one in April and one in October, regardless if we see them or not. 

I have an applicant who has passed all other checks and balances.

I would fill out a mortgage 1003 application which is the federal mortgage application, and go to a Mortgage Broker and see where you're at as far as debt to income ratio et al 

I believe I had a strong application and a good shot at getting in.

I will run the application through Cozy.com once we have photos.
