But the HOA insisting on owners using their management company would be a major drawback!

They referrred me back to RentRedi support, who insists that I need to contact Latchel.

I would imagine they would get tired of you insisting on viewing that every week....

A month later now, they are insisting I come and see the place in person and see "how well it turned out".

I contacted the broker and let them know that our offer was low, but they insisted we submit.

Taking the emotions out of the working relationship -  that is, my 'sympathy'for  his dad being greedy and thus losing jobs left and right because his dad insists on masquerading as a contractor despite being just a handyman limited to CA CSLB statutes that strictly limit all handymen in the state from being compensated more than what's left of $500 after materials - I realize I have reiterated with son on several occasions that CSLB limits handymen to $500 per project as the maximum for both materials AND labor per project IS the basis for fairness.I realize being told that the above (current CSLB limits )isn't 'fair' is a huge slap n the face after having given formerly father, and now currently and ongoingly the son for the past 11 months and change, steady work.Perhaps it's a sign of the times where even handymen and jobbers would rather sit around making no money than taking what they feel is 'less' pay than they could be making 'if they were' a contractor?

However, if you feel uncomfortable supplying it and they insist, then walk down the block to the next brokerage.

If the seller insists on delaying funds, you should seek the help of a lawyer.

Called them on it, they insisted it was true, I said cool let me check with Joe (fake name), he's a friend of mine to confirm because he told me just a month ago 8 tenants wernt paying.

The personal check they wrote me upon move-in bounced (my mistake for not insisting on a cashier's check) and then they sent me a sneaky Venmo payment to cover it right before it was about to bounce with no explanation for the Venmo payment until I reached out to them.
