So with that I'm curious to know how people are effectively reaching out to homeowners via Text blast while still staying compliant.Also if they are any SMS services that you recommend.

And even there, ready options exist where persons "could" do it all for pennies on the dollar of this prevailing fee structure and still that vast majority select the prevailing structure of things. 

I am new to real estate investment and planning to start ramping up long term rental properties in 2025, however my first two primary residences were both converted into MIL's and rented within months after closing which effectively followed the House-Hack tactic (we currently rent our furnished basement to primarily traveling nurses for 3-6 months at a time which covers 70% of our mortgage).

The assignment did not release the original contract purchaser from liability unless the seller expressly consented to the assignment and fully released them (a novation, in effect)… which is not part of the fact pattern.So the agent is right.

Did you ever select a program, which one and want to share the experience?

Giving no reason is effectively the same as having no opinion.  

I must admit their sales pitch is effective.

Short term, assuming the real estate lobby doesn't sue this to keep delaying/appealing, once it goes into effect there will be no more broker fees paid by tenant *unless they hire the broker*Some long term effects I can predict already: - Landlords now having to absorb broker fees will bake this into the rent (e.g. how "no fee" units typically are priced a little higher than other units) - Real estate board will require another document (or checkbox) for tenants to sign stating that they're hiring the listing broker and responsible for compensating them for their fee *if* they apply and are approved- Regular New Yorkers will have an even harder time to find an apartment because you cannot legislate/regulate away a housing crises... 

How long a stretch does it run to provide proper slope to drain the water effectively?

.- You could also try selling to another naive investor, but you don't have the infrastructure to do so easily. 2) You'll need to evict the tenant if you haven't already.3) Have 2-3 agents tour the property and take videos of their recommendations of repairs.4) Review all of these to create consensus Scope Of Work (SOW). 5) Get 2-4 bids on the SOW6) Review bids to determine cost effectiveness of what to actually do.
