I just want you all to remember the landlords can be in the wrong as well.  

They knew all along it was a loser but just went along for the ride, etc....In retrospect, they may even remember all the winners as really their great ideas (they gave the "green light" after all; the losers were really your ideas, etc).  

A bit embarrassed to say I feel like I'm starting from scratch because I hardly remember anything I've learned.

@Kal Seirafi also, if new entity is a corporation, remember to get a personal guarantee from them, if your current tenant has a personal guarantee, it most likely won't apply to anyone the lease is assigned to.

If I remember correctly (85% of the total rents should cover the entire mortgage+property taxes +insurances) at their prime interest rate.I bought my first with FHA and now refinanced to conventional 30yrs fixed.

If you have nothing but time then give it a try but remember you will need to pull all the permits and in Massachusetts you very well might need to hold a GC license.

I guess I was semi conscientious of this, as I remembered most of the time.  

I remember when I was living in Boulder, I think the law was that no more than three people from different families could live together under one roof.
