Does anyone know of any real estate brokers in California that offers the MLS-only membership as I don't want to pay all the extra fees to be a part of CAR/NAR.

At this level of scale, it is almost the same as running an extra unit.

On our first house we have a standard key and have an extra key onsite in a lockbox in case for any maintenance and lockouts.

At tip to help achieve this: You will at somepoint, if you haven't already, be directed to propstream or propwire or the like to find motivated sellers.

Unless it is a new build, and it comes with purchase warranties are an extra cost and may or may not even be executed when needed depending on the circumstances. 

Depending on the fee schedule and activity this can cost significant transaction fees and always includes some red tape and extra processes to go through.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

In either case, the longer a property remains on the market, the more motivated the seller often becomes to offload it.Savvy buyers understand this and often target properties that have been listed for three months or more.

Tell him that you are running out of funds and you hadn't planned on the extra 20% he's charging on each bill. 

I've been trying not to reply to so many posts about this, but also need to watch out for rookies to save them from losses.The other thing I don't like is that so many folks interested in this usually have very little extra capital and could lose some or all of their "extra" capital on a bad wholesale deal if they made one mistake.
