The other tip is getting your fingerprints at local sheriff's office, much cheaper than other services. 

For most folks moving a rental into a trust after purchase there's no aninimity available because your finger prints are in public records, as well as on the security deed (mortage).

I actually recently completed my pre-licensing course, as well as my application and fingerprinting to become an agent, so I am planning on focusing on that, and hoping to get a sale or two in the next year.

There is a fingerprint requirement and a few other things to do.

@Johnny Espinoza I think the short-term vacation model is golden right now in places it would not have worked previously...my partner and I are converting a 180-yr old hotel into an Inn right now, we've done a ton of research over the last months...we found some good resources, but AirDNA was pretty affordable with good insights.On Cleveland...we use data to inform decision making...on a lot of different levels...lots of data and analysis...Cleveland is a beautiful city with lots of good things, but speaking from data, it's one of the worst locations in the US...I really wanted to find something good there out of virtue of proximity to our home market, but I can't...to be honest, it has an identical fingerprint to Detroit pre-collapse.

In terms of other costs, I paid $55ish for my background check/fingerprints at Pearson, $40ish for my exam fee with Pearson, and whatever the state charges for the application, which I cannot remember offhand but it’s publicly available through DBPR.

In CA, the GC test has a lower pass rate than the state bar.4) Pay a few thousand dollars.5) Get finger printed and checked by both State and Federal DOJs.

You're looking at a couple thousand dollars and HUNDREDS of hours of your time to go through the class, prepare for tests, take tests, get fingerprinted, send all paperwork to AZDRE, etc.

Stainless steel appliances are hard to keep clean, it shows every finger print it also scratches and are a bit more expensive than white appliances. 

Private/hard money lenders are as different as fingerprints and able to compete freely by varying their terms, so long as they are within the bounds of the law.
