It is a creative lifestyle investment that I think the listeners would like to hear about.

It's a little more work to find someone willing to do this kind of scenario, and in my personal case I just charge my normal rent and I'm content with that because it cashflows.

I personally wont give a wholesaler a non refundable deposit.. if the deal cant close for some reason they will normally ghost you.. this is probably new western or one of those outfits.. who rely on FOMO high pressure to get the deposits up front and released like that.

Normally the opposite is true i.e. rates down/asset prices up.

There are no penalties for an incomplete exchange, You would then just pay the tax like normal.

My recently departed tenant's deposit was not enough to cover all the repairs (repairs NOT due to normal wear and tear).

It depends on the area and the inspector but they normally schedule about a week out in Philadelphia. 

It'll be done with little attention to detail and take longer for the report.For 5+ units, it's normal for the price to jump, because it's technically and legally a different kind of property.

.- Interest Rate Management: Buying time until interest rates normalize or decline.

  #2 normally it is a cash business.
