Also there less requirements to meet.

Accountants are in such demand, that the best are not even accepting clients half the time.The other problem I see often with accountants on here is that they specialize in larger investors, and have really high prices when you as a smaller investor do not need all the bells and whistles.Another thing I see is folks thinking they need to have a tax professional in their state.

I see a lot of folks mentioning on social media (more Facebook than here) that they wish someone would let them intern for free as a cohost.

It is no different than a loan company requiring insurance on your house or car.As @Dawn Brenengen said, require that they put you down as additional insured.

I use a hard money lender, where they typically require 10-15% down payment on purchase of an investment property, and they fund the rehab.

But you can't assume that people who do those tasks required in living are marketable skills.There are better ways to assess ones integrity than their receiving some benefit.

With that said, a lot of management companies that are larger are constantly churning through what is essentially an entry level position, and I doubt there are that many folks checking the random person who goes just over 2 years before getting licensed.

Agents are typically required to show up with the client at the first appointment with the builder - if they miss that, they can often be cut/pushed out of the deal.

And I assume they will allow poorer individuals the tax credit too, not just folks who can afford the $5 latte but are living in their parents basement.

I would guess 15-20% down payment would be required.
