When I started buying MH's in resident owned park communities or on private land and reselling them I obtained my RE brokers license once again because of the volume I was doing.I've been a developer by default as when I do purchase a lot/parcel and replace an old home with a new one or purchase an empty lot/s and develop them out I either sell them or keep them in my rental inventory.I've been dealing in distressed MH & site/stick built properties for 20 years and do a combination of all the above so I think it prudent to keep all my licenses and qualifications current and in good standing.Lastly, I've been a construction defect, park management/owner harassment, drainage and fraud expert witness, Industry expert for the California State License Board, consumer advocate at large for various TV, Radio and printed media outlets as well as a forenencis expert and consultant for myriad state attorney's general, district attorneys offices, county, state and federal agencies for over 20 years.

The NSF fee and late fees were paid promptly but the tenant has needed more attention than my other 5 units combined.  

Welcome to BP.You have a unique name.

But honestly, even if you rarely attend their events, I think their membership benefits make up for the fees pretty well (and both have some pretty unique member benefits).REAPS is the largest nonprofit REI Club in the Northwest, but it also has a lot of guru sales pitch (although REAPS does a good job of knocking down their price tags).  

I think it will be unique to every deal which is why I wanted to contact owners with 100% as it opens up more options.
