There are also bigger expenses I did like put in fans, redo floors, etc. that are longer-term improvements, but then I also did small like blinds that will probably always need to be done between vacancies...do these get categorized differently?

A house always costs money for even simple things like blinds, decorating, repairs or even just the cost of moving.

I would not fly in blind here with your first purchase - particularly if you are risk averse.

I learned a lot about the prices for jobs around the house, etc.I also learned that if your realtor, tenant, contractor or lender is not performing at the level you want them to, do not hesitate on replacing them.Do not believe everything a person says, have them show you rather than to blindly trust what they say.

The ordinance passed is basically "turning a blind eye" while the housing market is in a state of crisis.

As I stated prior, and clearly you have chosen to ignore due to your blind bias, I have not tried to convince the Seller that I am the Buyer, and have stated verbally multiple times that I may be assigning the contract OR buying myself.

I laid out my reasoning why people like yourself or other new people get blinded by this word “wholesaling” and think it’s something different than it is.

The rent is 1280 and the property manager charges 10%. 6100 includes lot of paint work, minor ceiling repair, cabinet and minor blind fix.

I'm trying to buy cheap 1" mini blinds, but I can't seem to find ones in a 36 inch length.

I made sure the house smelled good, had all the lights and fans on, heater at the right temperature, blinds open, etc.
