At this event we will share the various resources and grants available to delead your apartments and make other healthy home improvements. These programs are state and federally funded, and are administered locally by Massachusetts municipalities. We will have experts from different cities share how the programs work. This presentation will be relevant for owners in many towns and cities. The basic program requirements are more or less the same in each participating municipality. You will learn the names of the programs to follow up locally to see what is available for your properties.

We will share opportunities to address:

• Lead poisoning, which is up during the pandemic
• Leaky pipes, which are a source of mold and other pathogens
• Asbestos
• Older electrical
• Missing handrails, and
• Asthma triggers including carpets and rodents.

This presentation will not be a deleader training course. We will be reviewing the funding mechanisms available to help you hire a licensed deleader or make other healthy home improvements.

Part of this presentation will be given by Nigel Greaves, Senior Program Manager, Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction & Healthy Homes Programs, Office of Housing, City of Springfield. Nigel has been with the City in this capacity since 2018, after earning a master’s degree in business and building his career in public service. Nigel’s interest and experience in real estate and home rehabilitation has grown tremendously since when he purchased his first home in Springfield just over four years ago.

Part of this presentation will be given by Kevin Nestor, Rehab Specialist at the Malden Redevelopment Authority.

Part of this presentation will be given by Jim Brooks, Healthy Homes Program Manager from the Executive Office of Economic Development, Housing Development Division, City of Worcester. Jim carries a number of professional designations, is a part-time landlord, and has been a long-time supporter of MassLandlords and our mission to create better rental housing.

The networking portion of this meeting will be hosted by Dana Fogg. Dana started his rental business in 1994 with his first Multifamily in Watertown. Since then, Dana and his wife have purchased and sold rental properties around the Metro West area. They now have 9 Units in Watertown and Marlborough.

Part I: Meet the Board of Directors

For a short time at the start of this event we will introduce Steffen Landrum, cML Level One™ and newly elected director on the statewide Board of Directors. Steffen owns and operates commercial and residential property in both Worcester and Boston.

Part II: Main Presentation

This presentation will be a live interview between long-time Worcester event emcee Rich Merlino and large and growing landlord Patrick Sullivan. Those of you who have attended recent networking time will have heard some of Patrick’s tips for managing locks, keeping residents at their best behavior, and growing the business (including market niches, zoning approval, and acquisition). We will learn:

• Why renter guests can’t copy keys,
• What happens when unlawful substances are brought onto the property,
• How to create a winning redevelopment pitch for zoning boards,
• and much more.

This presentation will not be specific to rooming houses, although that is Patrick’s specialty. We will be learning what rooming houses can teach all of us as we seek to grow, scale up our business, and minimize wasted time and effort. Patrick is very tech savvy and will be able to answer questions about adding technology to your business.

Part of this presentation will be given by Rich Merlino. Rich has managed apartments since 2003 and prides himself on his mostly plagiarized systemization of each aspect of property management (learn from the best!). He is a member of the MassLandlords Board of Directors.

Part of this presentation will be given by Patrick
Sullivan. Patrick has been an avid landlord since 2007 primarily
focusing on multi families in the greater Worcester area. Having
worked in high level IT his whole life he looks at things from a
different perspective which he applies to real estate. He
became a Real Estate agent in 2015 and now primarily focuses on
Sober living facilities for people recently out of drug and alcohol
treatment centers.

This presentation will start off with a reminder of the lesson many of us have learned the hard way: It’s better to have a vacant apartment than the wrong tenant. But what is the right tenant? We can’t rely on “gut instinct!” We need to be objective and analytical.

We will review the pitfalls that will lead you to make economically and legally questionable decisions: not accommodating disabilities, operating without a written screening policy, and having vague or inconsistent grounds for rejection.

Virgilio Property Management have kindly offered to screenshare their screening policy and also show the rental application they have developed. This presentation will be suitable for both large and small landlords. Finally, we will review the tools of the trade, including third party credit scores and landlord references.

This will be a rare glimpse into the internal processes of a large landlord. Examples and stories of past successes and learning opportunities will be shared.

Part of this presentation will be given by Greg Virgilio, Zach Virgilio, and Attorney Jason Ferenc, all of Virgilio Property Management.
Since 1986, Virgilio Property Management has supported both landlords and tenants in Holyoke and Greater Springfield. They manage over 600
residential units for over 20 clients. Greg Virgilio is president of the Greater Holyoke Rental Housing Association. Along with Zach Virgilio, Greg is a hands-on landlord who practices everything from tenant screening to emergency maintenance. In-house counsel Jason Ferenc oversees their compliant rental screening process and helps ensure both equal housing opportunity and sustainable tenancies. Attorney Ferenc has also been an incisive analyst of policy changes for MassLandlords during the changes that have taken place during the pandemic.

The networking portion of this meeting will be hosted by Patrick
Sullivan. Patrick has been an avid landlord since 2007 primarily
focusing on multi families in the greater Worcester area. Having
worked in high level IT his whole life he looks at things from a
