Reason being, a broker is going to do exactly what you want: shop your file around.  

Thank you @Scott Ryne it's amazing that you explaining what I want say in a lot better way. the projects it might be small or big and either he is under paid or over paid very true. in addition that it's my benefit to reduce cost and the bigger the project the better his fees, I feel it's not fair.

I am new to REI and want to get into wholesaling initially to build some additional investing capital.

The addition income without addition expenses adds value to the property. 

The agent was worried that it might raise a flag with the assessor with maybe an un-permitted addition or something.

-After no action, NOD filed. 

Also, create an execl spreed sheet and update monthly to tract expenses, income, mileage etc....You could also look in BP file place to find someone else's tracking sheets.

@Rita Koroll,As for HOAs, you need to consider them as an additional operating expense just like property tax.

I think you need to wait 30 days but in the meantime you can keep the eviction docs etc ready so you can file on very first day after 30 days notice.

I second all of the advice from the other posts. in addition to all of that, I would say connect with me and add me to your buyers list!
