http://www.REIAofMacomb.comWe Hit the Nail on the Head!

When I first posted to this forum I thought it was like the heading says...

No, I think the cost for all listings is included in their annual dues to their local association.

This where the laws will be, and I always prefer to read it directly from the law.Next I would track down your local apartment association.

Ryan hit it on the head.

I will talk with a realtor about comps in the area.I guess I will have to give the bank a ring or just head over there.

Use YOUR head, and ask more questions, both of your mother, and here.

Please e-mail me ASAP if you can help.Best Regards,Mark BubloskiBroker Associate

Here in Hawaii, where rents are much higher than the national average (we're actually highest in the country according to many surveys/studies), it's difficult that repairs and other associated costs could take that big a chunk out of the high cost of the rent.

Hell, I've been an independant consultant for 30 years.My point in criticising the MLM "foreclosure help factories' is that in my professional experience (investigating allegations of predatory practices for the Mortgage Bankers Association, Washington DC, and serving as Plaintiff's expert on mortgage loan servicing in several Federal Bankruptcy Courts, plus running my own NonProfit preforeclosure counseling org for a decade) is that the offer to "help" evaporates the instant the so-called services provider realizes there isn't a buck to be made.... leaving the distressed homeowner in worse straights.If you are an exception to the generalization, that's great as you are one less businessman in need of oversight.
