Well, it turns out my insurance broker who can write nationally found me a new insurer who is half the price of the old one.

Search the BP for ADU appraisals to encounter numerous examples.

Hi Doug, after reading your question again I think I misunderstood--are you asking if the local MLS can force you to be a member of the National Realtor's Association?

However, there are numerous ways to CREATE investments that have 15% or more cash flow AFTER repairs and allowance for cap ex.  

Some of the national data sites have pricing suggestions that run both high and low.

Thus it becomes a "location" question, is yours visible and accessible.These National companies are playing the Average of numbers game. 

Hey @Ashley Wong,I don’t have much insight into Columbus or Tulsa, but I run a turnkey provider in Huntsville and can vouch for the area—for two reasons.First, Huntsville’s strong demographic headwinds have led to steady and sustainable population growth (+20% in the last decade), while the city’s abundance of high-quality STEM jobs—brought to the area by industry heavyweights like Dynetics, Boeing, FBI, Redstone Arsenal, Blue Origin, and others—have attracted numerous well-heeled millennial renters.

They claim to spend $50,000 to $100,000 a month each in generally national advertising.

@Cj Powderhorn many investors really don't pay attention to market trends:(Nationally, rRents are flatlining at best in many areas, trending down in others.Of course, there are pockets out there that are exceptions.Days On Market (DOM) are up over 37% in the last 2 years and are expected to keep increasing for the near future.So, many investors need to adjust their market expectations, but are lagging in doing so.Regarding the RentReady time, your PMC should have been updating you throughout and explaining cost overruns.Recommend NOT just terminating them, but asking for a call with a manager to discuss your concerns.

For people doing the kind of research required for probate leads without easily available owner indexed info, they may need to consider the national data companies serving their area such as RealQuest, etc.
