A candid interview with 5 different sets of partners talking about their specific terms as far as responsibilities and costs would be a great show. 

Your responsibility is the help the public in all their real estate needs.

I'm struggling to understand some aspects of your response, but it provides some things to think about.

I don't think one will make money on a net-net basis over the long term.I had asked the same question to local and foreign buyers agent in japan and had vague responses from them as they know the reality.The opportunity lies in the foreclosed property in Japan.

They then refused to accept responsibility for it.

That is your competition.I believe my recommendation will prove accurate.  

Lots of good responses and opinions. 

If HOA by laws state past due owners are responsible for all late fees and legal expenses for collection hire an attorney to go after the past due. 

If that is accurate, you do nothing.

Thank you for your response.
