I am also looking for an MLS-only broker in SoCal but no success so far.

The stock account is tanking, you see no hope for it to return, and you want to preserve the remainder of the principal;3.

Getting these listings ca be trickier, and there is no fast lane that takes you to this destination.

So no Board, nothing to manage except State law...the organization docs for the HOA should have identified when the developer maintained control, the terms for it to be turned over and at turnover you would establish a legislative body which would be the Board...

. $150k down, 5 year balloon, 8% interest, no inspections, repairs, or appraisal, $20k over asking, and most importantly.

If you no longer have business operations in the old state, forming a new LLC in the new state and dissolving the old one may simplify compliance and tax obligations.Some states impose franchise taxes and annual fees that could make one option more cost-effective than the other.

No I drew up my own contracts and filed the paperwork myself

They have no cash to qualify for a rental or even pay for the move. 

Then I feel less pressure/no guilt. 

With regards to your example about plaster vs. drywall most insurance policies no longer will pay for the plaster whether you have a public adjuster or not.
