In some cases paying off a car or credit cards can actually hurt or lower credit scores due to a lack of credit or no revolving debts.

I am a 25 year Real Estate agent in SoCal (mostly residential however venturing more into commercial; and getting back into investing in other states as well, which will be my next post) I have tried quite a few lead services and while some may do better in other areas of the country , most seem to a flop in this area, of those tried HouseJet, Reaology, USHud and Realty Bargains( Realty Bargains was the best however they kept sending me mostly investors who's matrix would not pencil in the areas I serve)  I am doing my best to figure out social marketing, my views/impressions are good however that has not turned into transactions as of yet; So I am on the hunt for a 3rd party lead co with quality Seller leads.

If they caused you damages due to their violations of rules governing licensed brokers, you may be able to make a claim through the Real Estate Recovery Fund.2) either you or your attorney send an official termination of services letter (if you haven't already), wherein you need to demand that they remove listings, return to you your property they are holding, disburse your money to you by a date certain. 3) if they fail to comply with your demand, contact an attorney to prosecute the remedy.You can attempt to re-list your property yourself or with a new management company, but you may run into problems with listing websites when they see an existing listing for the same property.

But when I come to look at them they’ve already been marked as if I’ve actually read the posts.

By disclosing your intentions, you’re covering your bases and staying on the right side of the law.Professionalism: Presenting yourself as a professional wholesaler can actually work in your favor.

I look forward to continuing to learn from the BiggerPockets community as I navigate my real estate investing journey.I’ve had some success on the eastern shore of Maryland, though even that market has started to frankly become expensive, there are still pockets of potential growth both rent & appreciation, thoigh it’s becoming harder to find, also there is a massive rental shortage out there, a county I just put a property contract on, literally has 3 properties for rent right now, but it does make rental comps quite difficult, outside of that I’ve started looking a little more into western Md and some southern pa markets but still trying to get a feel for them, overall I think in this market places that are affordableish and have some draw will do well with the continued wfh + affordability crisis but keep in mind while I think the eastern shore is actually fairly safe market for the most part a lot of rural areas definitely have boom bust potential and in theory more risk than dc metro, though the low price points do by definition tend to mitigate some of those risks. 

So if you could add some specifics, we could actually read the text and give a better opinion.But if you know the ordinance is legit and the city says so, then the only way to "get around" it is to do it illegally which could cost you much more in the end.We really try and not advocate breaking the law.

Looking to put the equity (guessing at least $300K, we've replaced most everything in our house at this point) to work and get an actual investment property. 

Someone actually tried to argue with me lol...This would have removed the death tax part of Prop. 19 but it didn't get enough signatures to get on the Nov. ballot, sadly

Meaning they have a service life, and you will have to replace them again.
