They disregarded the legitimate reasons for needing to inquire about the mystery truck.I see 3 reasons for needing to ensure the mystery person is or is not using that unit as his/her permanent residence alongside the signed tenant:Criminal -> evictionAdd'l wear and tear -> rent must go upIf the signed tenant leaves and the other person stays behind they aren't on the lease -> no legal recourse.Yeah, they seem to be caught up on some liberal argument of "live and let live in her house" and "she has a right to enjoy the property and have live there other than her" and "you're going to lose a great tenant due to enforcing rules they agreed to abide by and are a big financial risk to you if not enforced".

They are as liberal as the law allows, and also advise as to where the lines are, and they run straight.

I am shocked that in a liberal state like Massachusetts you do not have to disclose you are a licensed agent.

And with a fine of up to $500 per violation, a liberal reading of the law could indicate each name used is a separate violation.

Even if you are self-managing, you need to factor in a management expense as if you had a property manager to come to a proper cashflow number.From experience, a liberal estimate of your expenses is (conservative here is 50%) 30% of rent for capex, management expenses, and repairs, that puts you at break even cashflow long term. 

One of the nice things about math is it doesn't have to bend to any particular persuasion - liberal or conservative, religious or not, male or female, any dichotomy you want to come up with, math stays the same. 

If you're in a liberal state, I'd get your license.

@Jeremy PelleWith all the unrest in some of these liberal cities, I would be very careful right now.

You get a boost of liquidity, get to retain a stable asset producing consistent cash flow to meet your RMD needs, and can liberate yourself of dealing with tenants as you age.

It may not have to be your own money, in a more liberal definition of investor.A wholesaler, or more specifically, a contract flipper, is by definition not an investor since he invests neither his own money or anyone else's money under his control.
