@Amy Xu Depending how long since their license shut down there could be a bond on file.

We've had it treated and bonded, but now I'm wondering if we should consider having all of our properties treated and bonded.

@Jaron Walling Request a copy of insurance and bond...he should have copies in the glove box of his truck.

with all of these folks off shore I would say 99.9% of them are Nigerian scammers. and they are targeting you  a beginner who knows no better.. but your rational and intelligent so you can see that this seems a little too easy right.... send a few e mails and they promise you a 2 million dollar loan at 2% you just need to buy this Bond in Thailand to secure the repayment its just 5k for the bond etc etc. 

THE WIFE  ... who bonds well with the WIFE mostly other female agents..

Here are PMI-CV we are strengthened by our association of over 100 offices nationwide.

At least in the distressed SFR market.. remember they are only out for themselves generally and who ever brings them the deal.homeowners you can bond with and will respect you as the authority . and if you market correctly and keep dripping them when they go to sell your still their realtor.. now again this changes if you happen to find that diamond out there a very high volume SFR buyer that has some loyalty to their agents.  

Any remaining glue can keep the tile from being installed correctly and bonding well.  

Currency conversions and getting money over here from other countries does matter as it affects yield.The U.S. dollar has strengthened and the Yuan has started to get weaker.

My day job involves stocks and bonds but I'm interested in buy and hold real estate for cash flow and long term appreciation.
