With California having that hefty ~$700 annual fee, you might just have one LLC that does your flips and leave the long term stuff in your personal name. 

You recruit and train and coach and develop agents and they take care of all of the stuff above. 

A handyman can fix a lot of broken stuff but is not a worthy substitute when it comes to tenant management.

Usually, you'll need to be a realtor (TM) to get access.However, you may need to bump the buyer broker fee since brokers shop stuff based on their potential commission.

If you want to discuss, I never get tired of talking about this stuff.

Researching past sales, price per sq foot, and theoretical bank algorithms can be a fun past time, but none of that stuff matters.

Not trying to split hairs here, but the difference is important.I think this would make lease options particularly problematic, since they are defining your intent to sell not hold long term.That said, your intent can change.

Try going to a local credit union for the smaller stuff.

So clearly there's a problem, but on other days there's been no issue so far.It does seem like sooner is better rather than later, but with all the Covid-19 stuff (court closures for enforcing contracts, etc), my friend has been trying to wait a bit for things to stabilize.

A lot of first time investors miss stuff like water, common electric, snow/lawn, etc.
