There was a time when SSN's were routinely disclosed on our rental applications. 

I routinely buy used washers and dryers.

By the time, we started renting beach vacation homes, the weekly Sat - Sat routine was no longer the norm.

My question is, If one is to be strictly commission based, Is finding a broker with mortgage industry similar to finding a broker with real estate?

Seems like a very strict penalty if this is not followed through.The CTA provides that willfully reporting or attempting to report false or fraudulent beneficial ownership, or willfully failing to report or make updates to the reported data shall be punished with a civil penalty of up to $500/day while the violation continues (up to $10,000) and a criminal penalty of up to two years in prison. 

I've cut 99% of unwanted calls doing this routine.

Quote from @Brandon Foster: Hello Ryan,STR is do able in the north county area but there are a lot of rules and regulations.The city of Oceanside right now will not allow anything STR unless it’s west of pacific coast hwy.This is changing a lot too so you need to be aware of that in your plans.Carlsbad is super strict too but there are some condos that are still available to do STR in.Medium term rentals are as safer bet but way less profitable.

I want to create a GMB profile for a market I invest in, but I don’t have a physical office address in that state.I’ve been looking into virtual address services like iPostal1, but I’m concerned it won’t be approved by Google since they seem to have strict rules about virtual or P.O. box-style addresses.

We have since relocated and the properties are strictly used for rental.

Hey Robyn,In NYC, there's no strict requirement to have a bathtub in residential units.
