Tenant screening is one of the most important things a real estate investor needs to be an expert at. This is especially true when you are investing in rental properties in Boston, Massachusetts. The landlord tenant laws in Boston are very tenant friendly. This means evicting bad tenants in Boston is very costly and time consuming. The best time to evict a bad tenant is Boston is before you ever give them the keys to your property. Tune in to HoltonWiseTV for more tips on making money investing in Section rental properties in the Boston real estate market.

 not to diminish the deals rent to retirement is selling but I could build a duplex with a 1/1 at 400 square feet a unit in my market in Columbus Ohio stacked 2 tall on a small infill lot all in for 260k with my profit and sell it turn key and rent it for $2400 a month. at some point some of these deals need to be screened better. builder credits can be manipulated. that would be tax abated as well. I don't think selling turn key single family homes is what should be recommended to investors. 


So your telling us you got some magic wand where you get 200%+ market rents?    How?

Or are you just making shameless self-promotions again begging for clueless lemmings to come running?

 It is the Classifieds section so I am all about people coming on and promoting themselves. But the way Robby did it was pretty lame. "Not to diminish what you're selling, but let me diminish it by talking about something completely irrelevant" lol. Typical Columbus Cartel behavior lol.

However, there are a lot of times when renting your property out to a Section 8 tenant makes a lot more sense than renting it out to a tenant who doesn't have Section 8. When your rental property is located in a low quality area, a high crime area, or a low income area, it makes the most sense to rent your property out to Section 8 tenants because they pose a lower level of risk than the typical cash paying tenants in that area do. Cash paying tenants in these areas tend to need to be evicted often because their income isn't consistent and they often stop paying the rent. However, when your rental property is in an area of town that attracts a higher quality of tenant who has a lower risk profile than the tenants in the low quality areas do, it doesn't make any sense to rent your property out to a Section 8 tenant, because Section 8 tenants are generally more abusive to your rental property than high quality cash paying tenants are. Tune in to HoltonWiseTV for more tips on making money investing in Section 8 rental properties in the Boston real estate market.

Post: Invested in my first rental property with Rent to Retirement's help

Quote from @Chris Hampton:

I closed on my first deal last week and am very excited to see how it all unfolds.  I've been researching and analyzing for years and just could never pull the trigger.  My local market is cost prohibitive to invest in and the thought of assembling a "team" of unknowns in another market was scary.  I don't really have the time to vet multiple agents, mortgage providers, property managers, etc in other markets and trust that I'm getting someone to steer me in the right direction.

The Rent to Retirement concept takes all of that guesswork out of it by having teams in place in the markets that they've already researched.  I felt comfortable talking with my RTR advisor and then with all of the parts of the team involved with the marked and property that I zeroed in on.  They all guided me through the process and were very patient as I worked through a process that was all new to me.  I feel like they'll be there for me as I continue and I'm already looking at other opportunities with them.


 Solid win brother. Congrats to you. I started working with Rent To Retirement last year. It's a good group of people they got working over there.

Should Boston landlords care if their Section 8 tenants are happy? The government pays their rent, so it's not like you'll need to evict them for unpaid rent. What does it matter if your tenants are happy or not? If your tenants have complaints you can just hire a property manager to listen to them so you don't have to deal with it. All of this is true, but any landlord who is thinking this way is missing one important thing, unhappy tenants move a lot more often than happy tenants. Unit turnover costs are a huge problem for Section 8 landlords in Boston, Massachusetts. The Section 8 tenants in Boston are very hard on their homes. Constantly paying to renovate a house between every single Section 8 tenant who moves in and out is a huge profit killer. Tune in to HoltonWiseTV for more tips on making money investing in Section 8 rental properties in the Boston real estate market.

Theft is wrong, unless you happen to be a tenant who lives in the city of Cleveland. According to Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb, stealing is ok, so long as the person you are stealing from is an out of state landlord. Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb and his radical left wing cronies have passed a new law in Cleveland, Ohio that makes it illegal for out of state landlords to evict their tenant's. That's right, if you are an out of state landlord who has a tenant stealing money from you, you are not legally allowed to evict that tenant unless you move to Cleveland, or hire a local agent in charge. According to the new law, this local agent in charge is someone who becomes legally responsible for your property. Luckily for you, HoltonWiseTV has got you covered. Local Cleveland area resident Zak Burkons has created a new company called CleLocalAgent that provides local agent in charge services for out of state investors in Cleveland, Ohio.
