Hi Doug, after reading your question again I think I misunderstood--are you asking if the local MLS can force you to be a member of the National Realtor's Association?

Some of the national data sites have pricing suggestions that run both high and low.

Thus it becomes a "location" question, is yours visible and accessible.These National companies are playing the Average of numbers game. 

They claim to spend $50,000 to $100,000 a month each in generally national advertising.

@Cj Powderhorn many investors really don't pay attention to market trends:(Nationally, rRents are flatlining at best in many areas, trending down in others.Of course, there are pockets out there that are exceptions.Days On Market (DOM) are up over 37% in the last 2 years and are expected to keep increasing for the near future.So, many investors need to adjust their market expectations, but are lagging in doing so.Regarding the RentReady time, your PMC should have been updating you throughout and explaining cost overruns.Recommend NOT just terminating them, but asking for a call with a manager to discuss your concerns.

You won't have to ask in a national forum.

Suburban markets outside of NYC like Long Island and Westchester continue to see price growth and high demand.That said, NYC's median sale price is about double the national average so speaking with a lender is recommended at this early stage.

For people doing the kind of research required for probate leads without easily available owner indexed info, they may need to consider the national data companies serving their area such as RealQuest, etc.

The national average for occupancy has fallen to 87% (2023).

Also check in with @Joseph Chiofalo he handles a lot of our foreign national and international mortgages.
