People doing crazy stuff lately.

thats horrible, hopefully you can get some of the cash back. there are just horrible people in this world.

Just know that it is a "no days off" kind of business and very mechanical.I would suggest documenting your process via video so that eventually you can bring people on to replace the different hats you will be wearing.Keep in mind of these 5 components of any wholesale business.lead generation, deal sourcing, underwriting, marketing, transaction coordination.

My first home was 6% and my wifes was 8%, so people looking at 7% today as crazy - that was normal.

You could give them a thousand bad reviews, if they are the only person in town offering a specific type of product, people will still do business with them.

There isn't really a lot of people looking to rent a 3500sqft house and that may translate in longer vacancies.

All the people I know who bought there did it for lifestyle.

Get them out and start with leases and only rent to people that you have screened. 

I went back to Memphis last year for the first time in six years to find all is as advertised with very minor exceptions.We have picture inspections done every four months, cost $75, because I'm a trust but verify guy.Good people, good service.   

With the cost of utilities and the level of comfort people feel is mandatory now there is no way I would want to be on the hook for it.
