I have had some success with an online search, but it is very time consuming and feel that I am missing possible properties. 

When I deny the applications, they are removed and destroyed and I thought that they had to be according to laws:"When you're done using a consumer report, you must securely dispose of the report and any information you gathered from it.

Ironic isn't it?

Rezoning is time consuming, expensive and not-guaranteed.

But obviously I can’t endorse that since it involves lying to your insurance company 😭Other issues come up less frequently, like asbestos insulation / pipe wraps or siding, aluminum wiring (rare), aluminum siding (not terrible but not great), slowly corroding old cast iron pipes, cesspools instead of septic, underground oil tanks, the ever present lead paint (just has to be completely encapsulated), gas on gas heating, etc.

You are running a business and they are consuming your product.

I'm talking about the title company's net income per transaction and the actual cost of the premium to the consumer.  

@Julio Garcia I talked to our lender but she doesn't do out of California so I think what's next is for me to iron out my target location and then really focus on building my team i.e. agent, lender, and pm. 

There will be downward pressure on prices for a year or two - nothing drastic, just an adjustment while things iron themselves out.

As a landlord, I’ve ironically had the most issues with cats and small dogs.
