Because when you try and sell 123 Main street a 3 bed 2 bath house on Craigslist without a RE license you are violating CA business and professionals code.

If you add a bath it may trigger to re-assess your property tax, and the increased amount may not be justified from your rent (especially if you own this property for a long time).

That is not an alignment of goals.The $100 minimum means their base fee on your $1,200 is actually 8.33%.If your scheduled gross rent is $14,400 ($600/month x 2 x 12)Minimum PM fee -$1200 ($100 x 12)Re-lease inherited tenant -$395One-month vacancy -$100 PM fee (and -$600 from your gross revenue)Fee to lease new tenant -$395 (you didn't mention this, but I imagine they would charge at least as much as the re-lease)So right there you've got $2090 in PM fees on $13,800 gross = 15%Now over time those lease-up and vacancy management fees will even out as tenants stay longer than 1 year, but if you just wrote in 8% for management, you should almost 2x that to get to reality, at least in year 1. 

I have funds sitting in my company sponsored 401K plan; however, I would like to transfer the funds over to a Solo 401K to invest in RE.

I have been working with a RE Agent and she has been nothing short of amazing.

Can anyone recommend an investor minded RE agent that speaks Vietnamese and could help out on negotiating a direct marketing deal?

Re wire vs check: In the beginning I would get checks from title at closing. 

I've always been very interested in REI and RE in general but my RE background is fairly limited.

The FB analytics dashboard is also phenomenal, albeit a little creepy with how much info you have access to.If you're looking to promote some type of RE related business/service google adwords is great, but can be expensive.

Tenant left end of Oct,  plan to re rent quickly before Dec.
