My father died and left me his house. Before he died we filed a transfer upon death deed and were told upon his death I would simply go to the court house and the transfer would be completed. When I arrived at the court house and did as instructed the real estate court house gave said they couldn’t accept it they needed a transfer upon death affidavit. I suggested that they were ridiculous and no such thing was needed but they insisted that I need that. I said ok how do I get that? They said they were not lawyers....I contacted rocket lawyer and rocket lawyer said I don’t need anything they are wrong. So what do I do?

I need a bathroom and a kitchen remodeled (bathroom ada compliance) I got one estimate but I was surprised that the contractor was easily able to provide a price but they didn’t show what they wanted to install or possibilities based on that price. Is this typical for a contractor that they do not include pictures?

my sister had renter out a house for some time and she said it was an absolute headache and people would call her over stupid simple things at ridiculous times of the day and in her opinion she doesn't recommend it also I talked to a guy who's family owns a six unit apartment and he said the city made up a lie about the building having a slow leak somewhere and demanded $10.000 payment (weter bill) his opinion real he would not recommend real estate rental property. These are two real people who were are really renting to people and they both said it's not worth the headache...what do you make of this?

I just remember reading it somewhere exact where? Who knows? I also read the opposite argument here http://www.reiclub.com/articles/get-real-estate-license in the article he also says he did not realize the importance of having insurance into well after he had several properties and myself I thought having insurance would just be an automatic necessity (he called it "seeing the light") maybe their is a pro to having a license.

I don't have any plan on getting a real estate license even though I hope to acquire multi housing units. I heard that actually getting the license can work against you in some cases. I

Property managers do not do "handy work". Property management companies usually have a team that has a handy man, maintenance workers, cleaners, leasing staff and other workers. So when you hire a property management team you hire all those people. I think property managers take in advice they get from the team and try to negotiate the best price for services needed. They also keep the rates of the building current with the neighborhood, handle guest complaints as well as internal issues and communicate with the team to solve problems

@Account Closed great response man I never considered that to be an option but I would have a small/big issue....if I post the idea on CL or make a page for it then the idea is out there and someone else can steal it.....otherwise I like your tactic. I heard it cost like $10,000 to patent an idea...so it would also suck to patent something for $10,000 to find no one wants it
