I suggest using their service as well so they don’t feel used at least for a project.

Feeling fear is always part of the process when you're purchasing likely the biggest asset of your life. 

I do not feel as though the pet fee they paid means they don't have to keep floors clean, I needed to pay a professional carpet cleaner to try to remove the dog smell.

I’m planning to update and repaint, maybe increase rent on one side to 3000-3100 while I live in another unit and replenish to legalize garage space.Monthly payment: $7033. landlord pays for water, everything else is separate.It just feels very tight in the beginning before getting ADU gets legalized. 

The information is great but broad I feel like.  

That's odd to me that your agent feels like he is totally out of the transaction.

Feel free to reach out if you need assistance. 

You can get a second one for the property you wish to STR.There is a two-guest per bedroom limit, but there's no possible way they're going to bust you for going over it.All in all, the regulation is great if you live in the city because it effectively blocks outsiders.

Why do you feel the agents are of no use? 

Please feel free to reach out and I'll send a DM to connect.
