To give them credit, there are so many rules and regs for any county, it's impossible for the one person you happen to get on the phone to know everything.So just to be on the safe side, you probably should give them a call again to get some clarity on ALL of the requirements for renting out a basement apartment. 

If you don't have contacts, then pick up the phone and start dialing.

@Diyan Yap Can you tell me exactly how wholesale works,it sounds like being on the phone all day ,like telemarketing, is it?

Phil Wells, Peak Home Inspections, John Farmiloe, The Home Detectives, Steve Page, Integrity Property Inspections, PM me for email and phone numbers.

My real estate agent, who has a long prior career history in construction, seems to be happy with both the properties and has inspected them in detail and also been under the crawl space noting new plumbing, electrical and foundation sister-in-law beams too.As mentioned it is looking very likely the current buyer will not meet the closing deadline at which point I am next in line and have got price agreed with the back up after a few phone calls today. 

One of your representative was trying to be a smart *** on the phone asked if it was 9000 and other fees were involve.

Do you screen them first, or get to an agreement, let them view the property in person, etc?

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

@Benjamin Hill We use Smartmove and I definitely recommend their tenant screening.

Then after that split is taken out, we pay income taxes to Uncle Sam, errors and omissions insurance (in case there's a lawsuit), Realtor's Association dues, MLS fees (so you can look at properties on Zillow), monthly technology/desk fees to our broker, health insurance, car insurance, gas, maintenance, clothing, computer, cell phone, software, marketing, etc.
