I ended up buying a professional snake (one of those thousand dollar+ jobs) from a retiring plumber for $400 that I talked down to $200.I did used to pay for professional servicing, in fact had jetting/cutting/camera done just 6 months prior to this incident which I now think half of the job wasn't even done at all let alone correctly.

For accredited investor certification, there are rather cost effective options as low as $60, but bonus if the CPA can do it.Technology and Communication: A technologically adept CPA can streamline processes and provide you with access to digital records and reports.

Although we have mostly rented ours to travel medical professionals (x-ray techs, nurses, physical therapists and PAs) we've had inquiries from digital nomads, seasonal forest service workers, relocations, people traveling to the area for medical treatment and academic studies and even a recent divorcee who just needed a safe place to stay on short notice while she figured out her next move.

This would be our first property.We were just wondering if anyone has any words of wisdom or advice or tips for owning and operating a retail center with multiple tenants like barbers, dog groomers, smoke shops etc.we are business owners ourselves and excited to assist with increasing traffic to the center and to help tenants with their digital marketing. 

They also have hybrid class online and as I understand it, you have to log in and be on camera at specific times.I'm guessing in person or live classes are proably about $1000 for the basic license...and maybe another $200-$300 over the next couple of years to take your additional SAE.Our brokerage KW also has a free online course, self paced all on your own if you are good at reading the material and then taking the quizes all on your own. 

Some just ask for the last 4 digits of my social security number or your mothers maiden name.

Would you recommend installing a camera in attempt to catch and prosecute whoever is taking the money if someone is in fact doing this?

Appraisals are the same now that Fannie/Freddie/FHA may have a digital record of your house or your neighbor and you live in a tract. 

Stand right next to the guy as the camera shows the pipes - that way you can see with your own two eyes what he is actually seeing.
