I now live for free in Los Angeles and have been since 2021. 

Feel free to reach out anytime. 

Your best bet would be to do a short-term rental in the ski area, but you want it to be one that is solid off-season as well.

They're willing to share it with you for free, so try to find ways to pay them back.

The PM doesn't seem to be doing a good job of screening tenants and with multi unit buildings if one tenant gets away with not paying the rent, you can bet they talk to the others who then do the same.

Part of the agent’s process will be to reach out and find out how much compensation the seller would be able or willing to commit to, versus how much compensation you are responsible for.If there is no buyer broker agreement in place, you are free to do as you wish, however, if you want representation and were hoping the seller will pay your agent, the agent should be the one to reach out to the seller first to make inquiries and secure a compensation agreement with the seller.  

Please feel free provide your thoughts and advise.Thanks in Advance
