I do my own property management to keep my expenses low. 

In my state the standard contract used by realtors addresses this issue by allowing the agent to check a box specifically to limit the seller to keeping the EMD as opposed to going after "liquidated damages" like that.

Personally I like keeping my properties that I know are successful and have low maintenance.

(Senate Bill 33, for those keeping score.)

Hello, it is a owner passed and child wants out because they are absentee, no section 8 and the tenants have lived there already for long time 13, 6, and 4 years with no desire to leave as long as I can keep the rent same or close to same and they are willing to sign 3 year leases.I have looked at single family houses and have not found a deal that compares.

Keep me in the loop as well.

Why would you want to keep it "behind the walls"?

Otherwise, I don't partake in keeping up with the Jones's. 

Right now, I do have the "REALTOR" status but wondering if it make sense to keep paying the $800/yr to keep the status?

There is so much AI, reverse trolling, and one-line posts that the moderators can't keep up.
