But it serves the purpose of helping the tenant afford to rent a place and translates into real money for the landlord. 

For me, that's translated to just over 2 months gross rent on average.

From the link, it appears this "fee" applies only to single member LLCs where the member is a CA resident and operates business in another state and the LLC operates as the alter ego of the owner.

Yes sir, you are lost in translation about the Hard Sale I experienced.

also title company insurance rates are set in MIchigan and can't be altered but closing costs are. 

It's still liquid enough whereby it shouldn't alter or change your investment strategy.

I would be concerned that this Tenant feels he can make alterations to your property without your permission.I don't allow businesses to operate in residential rentals unless it's a home-based business operated by the occupant and with no customers, no advertising, etc.

If the tenant requests translation of the notice from the English language to another language, the landlord may assist the tenant in obtaining a translator or refer the tenant to an electronic translation service.

This means that the value my listing agent brings over my competitors' listing agents is about 65% reduction in DOM and about 10% increase in revenue (likely translating to at about 30% increase in profit).

However, for those that want to alter the trajectory of their lives through real estate-based investments - the choice to do so is theirs.
