I'm doing a gut remodel of a townhouse located in a very desirable and convenient Boston suburb.What can I do to attract good young professional tenants? 

I even had to catch her cat and transport it!

I took them to small claims court and won back all of my security deposit, plus my transportation costs.  

When you could by a mansion anywhere else in the country for 185k ( except manhattan Boston etc.)

They need to be able to afford rent, utilities, home supplies, home services, food, medical services, transportation, clothing, toiletries, and other personal items.

I used google maps and Scituate, Massachusetts is 45 minutes outside Boston but it is near the coast.I would Not take a 1/1 condo if you gave it to me.

In general, materials cost more the further north and the further inland you go -- many materials enter the country through southern ports and it costs money to transport them to points further away.

LLC's aren't always the cheapest, for example, in Boston it costs $500 to start one and annual reports cost $500 but I think it's well worth it to protect your assets in the Business.

Talk with local realtors, interview PMs, drive around during rush hour, take public transport, talk with Chamber of Commerce, neighbors, etc.Managing - Let's break down what a PM does and how they do it (I used to run a PM company and am an agent so any mud is co-flung at myself):1.

then find out where they live, preferences to school. ex. they work in city but live in suburb because there are public transport or the commute is good.as a first timer, i would prefer a couple/family because i got burnt by a random 3 girls that never met, and a bachelor that had no roots and can up and leave.once you find that niche, buy it at good price and location location location.
