I have no affiliation with them, nor do I benefit any by referring anyone to their bank, but she did a great job and I try to help the people out that helped.

Once you find one with a NARPM affiliate logo, call them and I am sure they will share a vacancy report with you. 

Regardless of Military affiliation, does the state's landlord/tenant laws allow for such a large move-in fee?

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.
