I've found that members in my area operate like a support team more so than competitors.

If an operator is not responding to you adequately - in timing or quality - prior to you wiring them $50,000, you have to ask yourself how will they respond after they already have your money? 

Operating Expenses includes taxes, vacancy, utilities, insurance, maintenance, and management fee.

If you’re itemizing your deductions, another great strategy is making a strategic donation to a charity or organization you believe in, like your favorite nonprofit or your church.

Like you mentioned, frequent crashes, problems uploading photos, weird restrictions on what words can't be used, listings removed for no obvious reason. ....and, to me, the navigation/operation is very unintuitive and cumbersome.

This log should include:•The date of activity•The property worked on•Specific activities performedExamples of activities that typically count include approving tenants, setting lease terms, handling repairs, and other hands-on operational tasks directly related to managing the property.

Remington, I own properties in Athens and while the data/statistics/analytics might look great - there are many challenges with actual operations. 

NYC is a very tough place to use a real estate license because it doesn't operate like other markets.

Also hoping to get someone to review the operating agreements to make sure our ducks are in a row.

That's how I see how these different businesses operate, by what type of properties they're advertising.Good luck on the exam, and good luck in your search!
