I'm brand new to REI and I'm not actually an agent yet, but getting my license in September. 

However, they perform all of the concierge services including advertising and booking.

We have actually seen some very solid appreciation in the last 5 years or so.

Actually I am questioning just that: Why does CSLB 'allow' unlicensed contractors to do a construction job (in my case, painting the exterior, repairing cracks in driveway, etc) priced less than $500 in labor and materials?

Your question is very specific and I recommend seeking a CPA that specializes and actually invests their own assets in RE themselves to assist you.

Maybe this state lawsuit will actually get something done (although I kind of doubt it given how previous lawsuits have gone).Also, interesting how while everyone else was getting gouged, County Executive Frank White and County Tax Assessor Gail McCann Beatty saw very modest increases.

Actually taking the time to dive into, and learn real estate in a way that is scalable is like drinking from a fire hose, and theirs plenty of water!

Just keep up on the maintenance and service of the system and it will be fine.Also, I would put some kind of little sign on the toilet top telling guests not to put anything but toilet paper in the toilet.

I have been talking to customer service for 2 weeks now because the software will not link to my bank account. 

The ones I purchased actually redeemed and they were super nice properties.
