(I didn't fully understand your angle on the last sentence though.)

Hello @Anthoney Perkins as a realtor I understand somewhat this situation.  

I understand that in NJ the Bureau of housing inspections, inspects multifamily dwellings every 5 years and issues a green card.

Hi Anthony glad to see you on BP as I'm a newbe just like you I think that I understand your confusion so here have the ultimate beginners guide from BP https://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investing I think that this is the first steppingstone for a good RE education. regards from Brooklyn

I'm not sure I understand.... you tried to leave, then signed another lease.

I know it has been called a little/ no money down investement route but I believe that is more to do with marketting costs.The gurus have explained the steps in details such as qualify a TB, but in order to do so don't I have to go a mortgage broker and ask them to carry out the required checks..surely that carries a cost..I would like to understand from someone who has experience the followingwhich professionals need to carry out each stage for both the TB and the seller documentswhat are the ball park prices I need to expect for these services. 

I do understand that when / if the assessed value increases, so will the property taxes. 

My understanding is that it is vague and you just have to "spend most of your time there" - which I could do, but my kids would still be in school in California, so not sure if that automatically makes my California place that I rent my primary residence.Thanks for the feedback, guidance, and recommendations.

In Connecticut, I understand that property managers hired by property owners must be licensed.One of the exceptions is if you're managing your own property or you're an on-site employee managing the property.Here's my question.

You're correct, if they are on a month to month you should only have to send them a notice to vacate and be done with it.I found that many landlords do not understand their rights or are unfamiliar with the legal process and hence end up putting up with too much.
