My Story...I am an Irish - French Canadian immigrant son from Arlington, MA, Mom from So Weymouth, Dad from inner city Irish Dorchester.He used to tell me of the Irish gangs in the 40s and and 50s, before it is now.He showed me a photo, black and white, on a bar NO DOGS OR IRISH ALLOWED.He broke out of that by getting to med school. 

There are no "little deals" anywhere in Massachusetts. 

@Bill Fennelly ....I am curious about someone from MA saying Tampa, FL.  

My telling you what I do in MA is not helpful to you at all.

We both are teachers in the Kansas City Area and my husband, Thomas, with a MA rather than a PhD has found it VERY difficult to secure a stable position in academia.

Originally posted by @Michael Germinario:My best property management tip is charging a 5% late fee when a tenant fails to make the rent payment on time.Great...except that in MA, if (and only if) the tenant has previously agreed in writing to pay a late fee, a landlord cannot impose that fee until the rent payment is 30 days past due.

Lots of great connections all over but we also have a very strong and active contingent here in MA on here so make sure to find them (Set up some keyword alerts to find out about local topics) and get connected.Besides doing that on here make sure to get out to some of the many local investor events we have.  

_r=0Honda makes very favorable financing available to new installation customers thus making your upfront cost zero or near zero.They're offering it to current or previous owners of a Honda or Acura vehicle as well as those who have simply registered on either of their websites: honda.com or acura.com.For now, this offer from Honda is only available in 14 states and those states are Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, and the District of Columbia.

Samson, if you are going to own rentals in Massachusetts, you should definitely join your local landlords assn.

I located a vacant property (4,482 sqft Multi-Family) in the Massachusetts area this afternoon and contacted the tax assessor and confirmed the following details:Tax Title:$16,116.71 - $6.69 per diem/daily$4,029.24 - additional taxI will be retrieving the current tax that is due for fiscal year 2014 as noted by the office but I believe it is $6000.00+My inquiry is whether or not this could be a greate opportunity to further investigate?
