Again, I am a Broker in (2) different states (MA and RI) for the last 25 years.  

@Gregory Stanley Massachusetts

I had about $50k in savings before purchasing my first 3 family in Leominster, MA.

@Patrick Ma keep in mind that investments in OZ's must rise to the level of a "trade or business" which is a grey area in the tax code.

I’m interested in learning about hard money lending, (buying a rental property with other peoples money) in Massachusetts.

Hello there - I have an opportunity to invest in my first syndication deal for a multifamily in Boston, MA.

I think it would make for a nice STR, but also a very nice MTR given the proximity to so many hospitals.The problem I have is I don’t think I’ll have the time to properly devote to this additional property right now (hopefully soon).Does anyone know of, and would recommend, a good STR / MTR property management company serving Massachusetts?

I currently own (2) triplex’s in Fitchburg, Ma and my primary residence (which I plan on renting when able to purchase next home.)

They are right to request that, whatever else they are doing wrong.In MA you also have to calculate the depreciation of the item in the damage if it gets in front of a judge…say the dresser was 10 years old “and in like new condition” doesn’t matter you can’t get a whole new one you have to use it’s useful life.security deposits are the tenants money until proven otherwise,  so the burden is on you to itemize and document in court.

I am  plumber from massachusetts as far as things to discuss with the plumber go just make sure you give him a solid time frame that is agreed upon by both parties and make sure you know the answers to his questions. for example finish work like what kind of faucets, what color toilet etc. the little things is what slow the process down.
