Unlike our real estate investment, there weren’t hefty transfer fees involved in either the purchase or sale.

It's also not fool proof, but is a good start to get a feeing for different areas 

If you think about it in any industry less transparency and more friction in the transaction will increase fees/commission vs reducing them.I like the idea as an investor of having different agents, a team of agents maybe 3-4 bringing me deals, but I think less of that will happen now as all will have to have you sign some kind of agreement up front. 

Quote from @Brandon Leffler:I may sell my condos in CA as the HoA's have climbed to 400$/mo I wouldn't sell your condos solely based on HOA fees being $400/mo.

When you sell, there are going to be realtor fees, property taxes, lots of costs.

As I suggested, if you believe your identity had been stolen, please file a police report and we can utilize that to help convince the carrier to make a full refund cancellation request.I'm very sorry you decided you didn't want the policy after all, and in fact, Obie covered some of the fees from your pro-rated cancellation so we could at least always put the customer first--even in this situation.

I alsodidn't see any mention of HOA fees/dues and or rules.

Just say you can't qualify and I don't want to charge you app fee.  

I know they are crazy guest friendly but this seems over the top.Guest didn't deny it....responded with "I payed the cleaning fee, why would I clean up?"

I know many people have lawyered up, and they’ve gotten nothing of value back in return for their legal fees.
