The way we look at it however is this sort of situation would be OK - but its a one time referral fee - any sort of arrangement with a long-term referral fee / borrower protection is reserved for true professional mortgage brokers - who like @Chris Seveney mentioned, would be doing more legwork on the deal vs. a simple and clean referral handoffvia CFPB on referral fees for business-purpose hard money loans:§ 1024.5 Coverage of RESPA.THIS VERSION IS THE CURRENT REGULATIONView all versions of this regulationSearch this regulationRegulation X(a) Applicability.

I love hosting and have tremendous passion and attention to detail with property management that seems incredibly hard to find those sorts of proactive skills in people when looking to hire for my own rentals. 

You can go to Redfin.com and put a search area in “list view” - versus map view and it will let you sort that area by all the table headers in the list - so you can sort them by $$/sqft for instance.  

I've been sorting out 24-1098 with existing leases at my job, where it's created some difficult knots to untangle with the timing of affordable housing tenant recertifications and the offer/notice timelines.But that aside, the law just imposes more formality on lease enforcement, whether or not it comes to a forcible eviction.

Good quality detergents are almost specifically designed for those sorts of stains.

TENANT:  Oh, I wanted to make it a 2-bedroom apartment.ME:  --Biggest facepalm ever-- You need to contact us before you do any sort of modifications to your apartment.TENANT:  Oh, I didn't know that.ME: My manager will contact you on Monday.Needless to say, she probably won't be staying very long...

The same with North Conway, I think they have sorted that out, but the fact that they were considering it was a little scary.  

If an applicant is difficult during the application process or has a lot of questions, they are likely to be just as challenging as a tenant.Of course, there are always exceptions, but I’m speaking from 17 years of property management experience.I hope you get this sorted out soon!

If they have friendly regulations, it typically means the area has something that would attract tourism of some sort, but that may not always be the case.

@Mindy JensenAs a non-licensed engineer, at first glance I'd say "yeah, sort of."  200# loading of other rafters and what not is fine, especially spreadout.
