I met the mentor the day after I executed and I was talking to her about how the listing agent was already insisting payment of option fee and earnest money.

I actually called and spoke with someone and they explained that they told her that because she was insisting that she paid by card before (that is not the case, though it may be incorrect recollection on her part rather than actually just lying to them to get to pay the way she prefers).Hemlane hasn't handled any maintenance or turnovers for us yet, so I can't speak to how they would do on that. 

If the first guy is insisting on "all new wiring", the second guy might say, "it's ok to keep that", and that same logic applies to all the various parts of the system. 

In my case, though, the listing agent insisted we still had a deal right up to the day it went to auction.

I'd insist on being alerted regarding any new tenancies, and being a part of the screening process, so you don't get stuck with an under-screened tenant that you have to evict shortly after purchasing the property.

People that put their utmost trust in the government are the ones that insist on "new protections" the second anything goes wrong.

I hear from wannabe wholesalers outside of California who want to do business here and insist that they have to be in at $.60 on the dollar minus repairs.

I've always felt this way, too, But then you read all of these books and hear all of these podcasts from investors who insist that out-of-state investing is no problem.

They don't work when some people are wallflowers, unqualified, or insist on being the center of attention.

I insist on a completed FREE application before showing.
