Theres no pressure to be a pro member there is just more perks involved,I have been a pro member and when times get tough I dont renew no big deal I still learn and have connected with plenty of people.

My advice is don’t bother posting notices extra pressure and having Nat King Cole fireside chats with her about her conduct .

I gauged it (mostly) by the vehicles.So I think the criteria at first for some operators is a little looser for high end new construction then it would be for some SFH and smaller apartment operators who are looking for long term residents. 

Up here gutters get torn out with ice, down spouts freeze, swell & split, then every fall they fill with leaves so that's another JOB & yes your basements will suffer from hydrostatic pressure & leak if the water pools next to it.

They will likely give you reasoning for that (or if they don't, be sure to ask) and then you can gauge from there whether you agree or not.

Of course it will be more expensive, but I am trying to get a general gauge of how MUCH more expensive.

In addition, our government has been moving business away from cash exchange as much as possible via audit pressure because of the ability cash provides for non-reporting of those exchanges. 

I am looking to house hack in the greater LA area but there are so many agents out here I don't know where to start.What questions are appropriate for me to ask to gauge their trustworthiness and competence?

Another thing is a water pressure regulator valve right after the water main, some houses have way too much pressure which can cause toilets to run and hot water tanks to drip $$
