And thanks for bringing up this topic because it led me to check the websites again.I wanted to install solar panels on my primary residence (condominium) but was denied by the HOA because “I don’t own my roof”.

They denied coverage. 

When in doubt I learn towards education but one cannot deny that the "bro marketing" that we see out there with the whole "check out this real estate deal check" is considered compelling by many so I can't really knock it.

The minute you give tenants your phone number, I guarantee you they’ll abuse it.

I mentioned to be legal one just needs to line up their financing so they can come into title and sell what they own.. regulators are not stupid there is a ton of abuse in this area. led by unlicensed beginners who totally foul up poor sellers.. thats my point.. but I appreciate your point and you are free to express it.. but thats what makes the world go round. 

Even though it was reported as vacant , I was denied the claim due to there being no working smoke detectors found. 

I have gave my actual cell number to tenants in the past and they only abuse it by calling late at night or early in the a.m.  

The level of consumer abuse and fraud would be unfathomably high if there were no licensing requirement for agents and brokers.

Then, some family member gets wind of the sale (after closing), thinks they got juked out fof big money (whether appropriate or not) and then they pull the fraud and ELDER ABUSE card out and there are judges that will unwind an entire deal for elder abuse and CPS gets involved and it's ugly.

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.
