This implies that a local agency would be a local code agency/government body, not a state-owned corporation.Also, California Code in another piece of legislation does have a definition:https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?

It more implies the lease period without stating it directly.

@Clifton Burse These are not as easily done as the pitches for courses imply.

We have all of our agents go through Allied online and then they take the Real Estate Trainers Crash Course the weekend before their test.

Would using a company name imply that I have started an LLC? 

What about the following clause in the MA Legislature (the last paragraph seems to imply that I can only inspect it within the last 30 days of their lease, doesn't seem like I can do regular 6-month inspections):Section 15B. (1) (a) No lease relating to residential real property shall contain a provision that a lessor may, except to inspect the premises, to make repairs thereto or to show the same to a prospective tenant, purchaser, mortgagee or its agents, enter the premises before the termination date of such lease.

I MAY, but it has to be my decision.In our standard Florida residential lease you have a list of items that are "included", but another section where you can designate who's responsible for the maintenance of it, Landlord or Tenant, so including an item does not automatically imply the item is to be maintained by the landlord.

Find a private real estate trainer in your state and talk to him.

You always hear that you "make your money when you buy", which seems to imply that you're only going to find cashflow positive properties by locating needle-in-the-haysack distressed sellers, or winning at a foreclosure auction. 

This, however, implies it can be done as long as you and the seller agree in writing.
