For what it's worth, I'm no longer insurance licensed since I took my practice fee only.

If it does, then to me the answer is absolutely clear - take that money out and add more property.You will thank yourself a million times over when you see what that choice becomes in another 10 years. btw: I would add that I am very skeptical of anything in florida these days. 

@Toby FellowsYou are correct, you need to ‘hang’ your license under a broker in order to practice real estate, and most brokerages require you to become a member of the National Association of Realtors as well.While you are preparing and taking your courses, contact several brokers and interview them to find out who might be a good fit.

Like Fiya, posting about my loss and this frustrating experience will hopefully expose this company's faulty practices and help others steer clear of Tyler Deveraux, Ryan Woolley, MF Capital Partners, MFM, their new companies, and groups like them. 

If you put any information on social media you are practicing real estate without a license.

And don't underestimate the power of a strong first impression – a well-maintained exterior with a fresh paint job is key.Just remember, even with the best upgrades, color choices matter.

I than let them know my top choices for PM/TP provider in that specific market, not just my own but whoever I see as current best, and what there rates are.     

The problem with that is this:- It just doesn't make economical or practical sense for the newest housing to be the cheapest. 

The sellers have not been responsive when asked to provide that information, which is why I was wondering if it's a typical practice prior to submitting an offer. 

@Samuel Gebretnsae You have two choices. 1) Walk away and leave your money on the table. 2) Go ahead with the deal and take a leap of faith that the repair was done correctly.
