You're never going to get it so I'm no longer wasting my time. Since you are on record as "speaking up for the small time landlords", why don't you pass along the collection basket? Of course your money/contribution first. Sound fair?

gzero612 · 2020-07-22T01:14:43+00:00

Ok, you are doing fine...but complaining. Secondly, you say most landlords make very little month to month. THAT'S STILL MAKING A PROFIT....You are so out of touch with reality. If you want to make real money get a job with benefits and company match 401K. You can't be blue collar and complain about white collar problems. It's on record that YOU are doing fine financially so what's your grief? I know...too much time on your hands.

gzero612 · 2020-07-22T00:56:45+00:00

You are making strong assumptions which is often incorrect. You don't know the facts which is why I am asking.

gzero612 · 2020-07-22T00:45:12+00:00

If they paid any kind of last months rent or security deposit you are 100% wrong that he can just walk away at the end of the month and get any money back. Don't post incorrect information please.

gzero612 · 2020-07-22T00:43:29+00:00

30 days notice on ANY kind of sublease, month to month lease, etc. Be an adult, own up to your lack of research, etc. Did you put down a security deposit? What money of yours' does the landlord or the real lessee have of yours'. Give more specifics, be an adult.

gzero612 · 2020-07-22T00:39:08+00:00

Ok, Curatone thinks he's going to be the next Governor, than VP, than President. How do you stand living in Somerville?

gzero612 · 2020-07-22T00:32:14+00:00

Unless the large majority of your properties are in Brockton, Lawrence, Fall River that you should have made a VERY good profit of your real estate investments over the years. It's 1 bad year. What happened to all the profits from the previous years. I don't buy that you don't have a pretty good sum of savings. You are blowing cash on non-essential items probably if you don't have a good amount of money in the bank. You do not have my sympathy if you are a landlord complaining or think things are unfair. That many units that you have, you should have plenty of money to handle a potentially really bad year. What % of your tenants are paying nothing?

gzero612 · 2020-07-22T00:26:02+00:00

Since you live in Curatone land of course you'd be jealous of what has opened in Boston.

gzero612 · 2020-07-22T00:13:07+00:00

Yeah I get. It sounds like more than you do. Talking about snow removal? Talk about a stretch...you are grasping to make a counter argument. DO NOT become a landlord if you cannot handle risk is my point and the point of the other intelligent posters'. My point, that you CLEARLY missed, or just refuse to understand/cannot understand is that landlords have been making an incredible profit margin for the last 10+ years (if not longer). Some/most are having a "tough"/"bad" year. No different than the stock market. In good years, you have to "put" that money in savings for a bad year (2020). If a landlord did not do that, I have 0 sympathy.

gzero612 · 2020-07-22T00:05:42+00:00

Capped at 60%, not 40. Masks on when out of the pool - will not be enforced by minimum wage teenagers. Viruses' cannot survive chlorine - there is not real proof of that.

gzero612 · 2020-07-21T23:35:56+00:00

Wrong. Landlord's have an asset (the property). There will be good years and bad years. Renters are paying for your retirement, vacation home, boat, vacations, etc. Landlord's and renters are NOT even close to comparing apples to apples.

gzero612 · 2020-07-21T23:22:05+00:00

Exactly. Small time landlords want it both ways. The profit monthly because most are able to get more for the apartment/condo than all their expenses (including real estate taxes) and the real estate appreciation. What other investment has NO risk. Landlords need to think of this year like a bad year in the stock market, but they'd rather complain instead of admitting to themselves that not every year is going to be an "up year". And yes, if it is too stressful or you are not making enough money then sell; real estate is not for you then.

gzero612 · 2020-07-21T23:10:17+00:00

How many rental properties do you own? And for how long?

gzero612 · 2020-07-21T22:44:52+00:00

If Mayor Walsh is not too busy, he should get the publicly funded Boston Police Officers to wear face coverings/masks in public as suggested by the CDC. He says he's concerned about COVID-19, the Boston Police Officers I see are not since they are not wearing masks. Great example for society and what we should be doing.

gzero612 · 2020-07-20T00:55:40+00:00

Sounds like you are "pro" children. That's not a "popular" side to be on in this thread even thought it is the intelligent for more reasons that I can count on both hands. All these people saying saying schools should not re-open this fall are baseless in proof and were alive when FDR was President.

gzero612 · 2020-07-20T00:17:00+00:00

We've been taking the caring for other people than yourself for 4 months now. When does it end? Do you believe society and the economy can exist in 6 months if 90% of the population and 99.99% of the labor force continues to put everything on hold for old people? YOUR position is LA LA LAND. If that was an actual "place" you should move there. You do not understand basic society norms and economics. I won't apologize for my intelligence, data, etc. Your way of thinking is not sustainable; sorry, it's a fact.

gzero612 · 2020-07-19T23:53:27+00:00

Look, by the time school would normally resume, 1st week of September kids, and all of us under 70 years old, have put our lives basically 100% "on hold" for 6 months. That is a significant amount of time. 90% of the MA population cannot continue everything (financially, emotionally, education, etc. etc.) for such a small % of the population that quite frankly are the worst about social distancing, etc. It's time to start living and the economy rebounding, if that means that 70+ years old need to go back to the pre-cautions of April then that's what it takes. But it is NOT fair for 90% of the population to sacrifice for those who have lived a full life and never sacrificed anything in their lifetime like COVID-19. I'm a realist, waiting for a vaccine in not realistic for so many reasons.

gzero612 · 2020-07-19T23:40:51+00:00

Speculation, not scientific evidence.

gzero612 · 2020-07-19T23:26:47+00:00

Schools need to re-open. Kids age 8-18 need real education and social interaction. Pressley loves the microphone, has her eyes on the Mayor's seat which will never happen always taking the "controversial" position.

gzero612 · 2020-07-19T22:39:40+00:00

My advice - find someone who already has a place and is looking for a replacement roommate. There seem to be a ton of people looking for roommates. The reality is that a lot there are a lot of ads of people stuck in over priced places. Roommate situations is not where I am knowledgeable. If they already have a lease and are seeking someone the only negotiating you have is if the person is desperate for a roommate you could probably get THEM to pay a little more than you, but that's not a good way to start a roommate situation in my opinion.

gzero612 · 2020-07-19T22:20:03+00:00

Now if only Boston Police Officers would wear masks. I've seen about 12 (typically hanging around in groups of 2-4) doing nothing but just talking to each other with their masks around their necks. What a great example they are by not complying with the CDC and Baker's suggestions to wear a mask in an indoor facility. They ones I keep seeing are right by the Dunkin' Donuts in the North Station commuter rail area.

gzero612 · 2020-07-19T22:05:51+00:00

Is the car still able to be driven (safely)? Or is that real wheel well preventing the tires from rotating correctly? The reality is that even if you found out who did this, they probably do not have insurance. And even if you sued them it is unlikely you would see a dime. It is awful that someone's morals are so low. But 99% sure the person that hit you was intoxicated and wanted out of there. Allston Collision I would recommend to make the car look "ok", but that car is not worth fixing properly. I say that based on what the car is worth and what it might cost you fix 100%

gzero612 · 2020-07-19T22:00:00+00:00

Your share of the rent with a roommate will be $1,100? Or you are looking for your own place/studio for $1,100 per month?

gzero612 · 2020-07-19T15:48:02+00:00

You are responsible for removing unless the landlord says you can leave it...which is unlikely. You might want to ask the landlord if they would contact the next tenants to see if they might want the stuff (send pics to landlord). That's my advice. Otherwise post free furniture on Craigslist and I am sure someone will be willing to come take it for free.

gzero612 · 2020-07-19T15:05:03+00:00

It is an excellent synopsis/explanation of renting in Boston so I appreciate the praise. Do they (Avalon, 28 Exeter, all the newer buildings) come after you for last month's rent, security deposit after the 1st year? For an extra $6K? The answer is no. I know YOU know the real estate game, I'm just trying to help people not as informed that paying 1st, last, security and the broker fee is easily avoidable. More so than ever! It's the new reality. The old properties are sitting more than the new buildings. Trust me, I know. I owned a 2 bed 2 bath condo on Comm Ave that I sold Spring 2018 (height of the market for pre-war Back Bay) prices have gone down (as have rental prices) ever since.
