They always say "that's a local affiliate, not our corporate office. 

Quote from @Christopher Davis: If she is an "Affiliate Broker" then it means she meets the requirements of owning her own brokerage, but she is currently working under another Broker.Look, it's real simple.

If you desire to pay her rent than oh well, but try to tell Well Fargo or the Nisssan dealer its hard to pay your note and see if they let you keep the asset.

And keep in mind all affiliated operational expenses such as all the vendors, as those costs go up..... 

If you do go with a non-connected lock please change the codes often, I often compare it to a hotel in that if the front desk told me the previous occupant's keys still worked during my stay I'd be sort of annoyed.FWIW, we use ResortLock from Lockstate (no affiliation, just what we use) on all our properties. 

If rent for a 3-bed home is only $1100, it won't attract the higher-class, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's attracting the local meth dealer either, does it? 

I agree on all the points you’ve shared and definitely use them for my research.One question I wondered about was if people care about political affiliations (red/blue area).

He’s affiliated with Dave Ramsey solutions but I think that is a benefit in my case.

I'm not affiliated with these guys, but for those who have owned turnkey rentals, I owned 11 from 2010 to 2018 before selling them off.

I do not make anything for the recommendation (no affiliate link to share) but I have numerous courses & his is the most comprehensive & up to date that I have seen.
