Yeah, in OR you can't make a contract chained to a listing like that, but they do have ways around that like a "termination fee" which will get credited back if you use them to list.I'd also ask if they can do a summary on income and expenses and trends - Like is the avg rent up the past two years, what's happening with water costs, etc in graphical (ex-eng, sorry) format.Other item happening more is what happens to your data?
