So far, it has not mattered.The annual fee more than doubled 2-3 years ago.I thought that after the Oakland warehouse fire they would do another round of inspections...

I fully expect with EXP through the revenue share program I'll be working at 100% year round including the low monthly fees and once a year education fee.   

Some don't pick up the first round, some ask to call on a future date, etc.  

I’m checking in to close the loop on how we chose to resolve this issue.To avoid a drawn out eviction and potential lengthy claim process we decided to cut our losses and release all tenants from the lease.We opted to hire an abatement company in Duluth (highly recommended) to do another round of testing, to include removal of drywall in suspect areas.Mold levels weren’t deemed outrageous, but mildly elevated.

Hypothetical deets (all numbers are rounded):30-yr Mortgage: $280k @ 4.8% Dual net monthly income: $9kTotal monthly expenses: $5k (includes mortgage payment)(Cash Flow: $4k)Plan is to use a Line of Credit (18% APR) and pump $15k into the mortgage every 6 months (conservatively paid off in month 4).Using this approach (per the amortization schedule calculator I have) I will pay off the mortgage in less than 7 years.I will pay around $11k in Credit Line interest (approx. $700 each 6-month iteration), but will reduce my mortgage interest by over $200k!

    An investor in my area had about a dozen properties that were for sale off market, I made my first round of offers on each one and before the seller could counter the agent informed me that the bank was taking back possession of all of them. 

Most MLS auto searches are set up at even or rounded numbers.
