Thank you Tim.I've paid for the SDCIA membership, but I fear it was a waste of money.

Comments here are not private conversations, rather to a national membership, HUD governs sales and rentals of all residential properties in the country to some extent and will be a basis for many determinations made locally.

Management is a benefit of membership, we ask for 10% of rental income.  

Not worth the cost since my LLC just holds membership units in a foreign llc.

That includes raising the dues and signing for loans.Just about the only thing that requires a vote of the membership are changes to the By-Laws and elections.

The two types of membership in an LLC is Managing Member and Member.

My HOA doesn't even have membership cards.

Albert - Here's the response from our rep at SmartMove:TransUnion SmartMove was designed as a consumer initiated website to help landlords avoid having to pay membership fees and go through stringent compliance to obtain a potential renter’s credit and criminal information.

I see the same thing at a private golf club, (you can only join now if someone dies and the heirs sell the membership BTW) go to the bar and listen to the trash talk and not only would you understand that not only do we have our upper class, the chance of you joining is very, very slim, yet these people (the 47%) still try to identify with them and vote against thier own best interests.

Memberships - that's a no brainer.2.
