A few thousand in consulting legal fees can really open your eyes to what the process will be and how long/much it will take.Providing you examples to what would comply probably is prohibited in the city permit examiner employee's job description (practicing law), a city will generally hand you a document, but they are not going to give legal advice.

I would recommend asking for referrals, and don’t just call on the phone - drive by the sites, talk to the property owners, and examine the work that was done.I would also encourage you to ask him if this is his standard way of doing business, or is his upfront money request based on the relatively small cost of the job.

Currently it's lower since you're new, but as you close a deal and figure things out, the opportunity cost of your time ($$$ you can make per hour) increases and at that point, you need to re-examine your process to make sure it's worth your money to print your own letters especially if someone *hint hint* can hook you up with good pricing due to your network on BP.

Marian Huish I recently passed my exam in CA , and have been hearing a lot of good things about eXp.

I'm scheduled to take my Real Estate exam in a few weeks in order to become an agent.

Examining the lease, it says I can evict if the tenant does not follow the terms of the lease, including paying rent.

While you're saving pick your area and examine 100 deals on the BP calculator, walk 100 houses in the area before you buy.

As someone starting out and examining options, I would, if I were you, take some time and gain knowledge on the options you have available considering your resources. 

I've already signed up for an online course so hoping to pass the exam in the next month or so.
