@Jay Hinrichs Thanks for the feed back, I have seen that on BP about members just using a flat fee service to get on the MLS. 

you can make them pay if its seperate meter but typically it will be landlord controlled which is better sometimes cuz you can build it into a rent increase or overcharged flat fees for ease of mind

Houston area RE market at best is flat in 2019 so long as oil prices can not be artificially be inflated probably for decades.

@Chris Seveney so it’s possible to lose your money altogether with a certificate?

Is it a flat fee or based on transaction amounts?

Had a client buy a brick 2 flat in McKinley Park in December for 230,000 to rehab it into  a single family on a rehab budget of 205,000.

Get new cabinets altogether?

They also take 3% commission which I'm looking to avoid if possible given the movement towards flat fees and refunds.Thanks for the help!

It is coverage for a home that is being rented out, but still occupied -- this is an important distinction, because vacant is another policy/coverage altogether.

I called a property management company today to get some info and they charge a flat rate of $99 a month for rental houses.
