The only punishment they may get is an eviction on their credit history to follow them for a number of years.Make sure you provide documentation on the status of any security deposit within the time frame required for the state of Georgia (1 month after vacating the rental property). 

If you are wanting to get the sweat equity you will have a seasoning time frame.

If you really want to let someone in you can post notice that you are entering within the proper time frame (24/48 hours depending on your area and lease).

After they left did you send a detailed accounting of the charges against their security deposit within the required time frame? 

Or is wholesaling not affected by the longer timeframe?

There are some stipulations around it that you need to be aware of (such as time frames). 

However in your case you're really trying to shorten the time frames down to artificially match a flipping model.I'm thinking that your intent then could very well be interpreted that you never had the intent to hold for productive use.  

If you're living in it, and can qualify for conventional financing, and you can actually close on the deal with the 45-day bank timeframe, then you should always go for the 203k loan because that's the cheapest loan with the highest leverage you can get. 

If you choose to go ahead and meet, just be straight with your intentions, your financial positioning, your price point, your timeframe to purchase, etc. and get to know the agent as a person, not just a transaction.

I have considered it, but swiftly turned away at the thought of such a long drawn out closing as well as rehab timeframe.
