They have clear photos of what the tubs are, so there is no confusion, + according to reviews guests seem to love them as a hot tub experience. 

You can drive one hour a month to drive by and ensure the place is still standing, or ask your tenant to send photos.

You should also invest in a professional real estate photographer and a lock box) You may just decide to go with an agent that can provide professional level photos and an amazing marketing package (including listing exposure in real estate magazines, etc) If you do go with an agent- make sure to ask for their marketing plan for the property as well as a record of their past sales, etc.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Matthew MorrowI am curious and not trying to start a war - but when you say you can see both sides - what is the side of a “wholesaler”I am not an agent but an investor - and I don’t see the legitimacy’s of wholesaling without a license.Chris, I totally respect your position.

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

If treated kindly and with respect, they will usually be honest and vulnerable about what they are going through and how they might be able to either salvage the situation or walk away with dignity. 

Show as many pictures and loud barks as you like to try to convince others you are a reputable company.People you admire and respect (I won't list names) have asked you to just STOP taking my content and just do your own thing. 

We are in good and respectable careers so I am not worried about him defaulting on his half.

Unfortunately, I don’t think everyone is as detailed and going so far as to request a photo of the water heater serial number so they can check the units age, and have unrealistic assumptions about their coming costs.
