@Peter Mai , You should be able to search Placentia Building and Safety department to look up their fees.

Here is a solid summary from an internet search that will give you all you need to move forward:"A notice to terminate a property management agreement is a written communication to the property management company that informs them of the intention to end the contract.

In previous threads I noticed that the vast majority of posters who believed subject to transactions were blankety bad identified as real estate brokers.

Search the BP for ADU appraisals to encounter numerous examples.

You may have to search a bit for the right contractor or engineer - sometimes I see one solution dominating in an area - "that is how we always do it" 

As I studied earlier, the first thing you should do is marketing, then get a call and do a property analysis to understand if it's profitable for you, then meet with the seller and sign all the necessary papers, then if there is a debt in the bank we do a reinstatement quote, then do a title search to check if there are any hidden debts, if everything is fine we look for an investor or flipper and sign an assignment of contract with him and wait for closing to get our money.

That's because they identify with most egregious crooks at the top of our society and believe that it's ok to defraud and steal and do crimes as long as you are a "big shot", it's just not ok for "low lives" to do the same.

The public searches are pretty limited in scope for a true investor. 

If you searched the forums as stated you’ve noticed that it’s been asked EVERY time this question is asked.

Eric, First, Good idea on searching for a realtor specializing in STRs.
