What affiliations or certifications does your company have with property management organizations?

Received their LEAD CERTIFICATION CERTIFICATE entailing of several hours of education.

Just saying it isn't outside the realm of possibility.Agreed that is is very inconsistent, I actually had a clear POS then get cited when I applied for the rental certificate (cause the POS had been done more than 6 months prior.  

The most prevalent is getting an Elevation Certificate. 

In the state where I use property management and cannot screen them myself, I've had issues with management not screening well, so after a lot of good ideas on forum posts here, I now require vet records to prove breed (to insure breed restrictions are met) and current shots, a K9 Good Citizen certificate (if they don't have one, the manager refers them to local testing), renter's insurance with minimum $100,000 liability and me listed as additional insured, proof of required city pet license, and the larger refundable security deposit.  

Legally quite complicated, right now we're trying to streamline everything and go for Tier 2 A+ certification with the SEC so we can spawn off stock or bonds in order to raise more capital without getting banks involved, but it's a slow, expensive process. 

I was lucky and found one who was not certified and I paid for his certification course and got a heck of deal.

Knowing the laws for your area is a requirement if you want to call yourself a Professional.Professionalism is the way you conduct your business, not a license or certification ( and not all licensed real estate agents are Professionals).  

A property is secured by a note and deed of trust which give the lender the right to foreclose if the investor doesn't fulfill their end of the relationship.Also, an insurance certificate can be made out to the lender so they are protected with insurance in case of a total loss.

I bid at counties which have several thousand certificates at each auction.
