I have no affiliation, I just love their legal books.  

Find a Realtor with both affiliations for the best coverage, I am not one of them.

Over and beyond that, you do have to take 8 hours of continuing education each year (two 4 hour classes).Once licensed, if you plan on activating your license you'll have to work under a BIC (broker- in-charge), which means you'll need to affiliate with a brokerage.

After a while, they'll think you'll soften up, and let them get away with non payments because you're affiliated with them. 

@Paul Gwilliam, @Ryan Swan @Jason Conroy There is some great software out there called Renttrack (I'm not at all affiliated), which heavily incentivizes tenants to pay online to build their credit score, via ACH or CC/Debit card.

No affiliation other than happy with the product.Chad

They also have a book specific for California evictions:http://www.nolo.com/products/the-california-landlo...I'm not affiliated.

I'm in no way affiliated with the above mentioned company, and there are plenty of options out there for similar services..

In my market, my experience has been most of the leads that come from Zillow (and their affiliated sites like HotPads, Trulia, etc.) are "lookie-loos" and tire kickers.  

Have not had a chance to give them a shot yet, but assuming it's just a affiliate deal through the provider, with integration into lease doc storage system each provider already has.
