I am investigating a way to sub meter out each units water, but it comes into the building on a single line.

If that is variable state to state or institution to institution, then it may be worth seeking another mortgage guy to investigate cash out refinance options.

Seems agent's broker listed it for him/her, which is standard with many brokers, as is disclosure on the MLS listing of all licensed parties whether seller, broker, and/or agent.IF I didnt disclose on MLS that seller is licensed agent where that was the case,  just because my supervising broker listed it directly instead, tis only a matter of time before BRE be investigating a complaint, so wouldn't risk it even if there's legal prose to get away doing so.Nevertheless, focus on the sale and find out if it would be legal to do the same if you get licensed but have your licensed broker sell it for you without disclosure of your own license until offers made and subject to be countered.Although...

This time adds up investigating one property after the other.

I couldn't locate the property to run rent comps based on the address, but if you're getting negative cash flow on paper, you may want to investigate things closer.

Im going to investigate...

Micheal, I would agree, investigate Section 8.

Of course, aside from the legal ramifications, I would still need to investigate the best way to go about this from a tax standpoint (i.e., Canadian citizenship or no?)

When something did come up I had to drop everything and investigate rather than call one of the people on my team.
