Rooting for you.

If you close on the property and then discover the roof is leaking, the main sewer line is nothing but tree roots, really any major expense, that can easily put a borrower in a position where they do not have enough actual cash to solve the problem, so the property loses value due to deferred maintenance, or the borrower digs themselves into more debt, making it even harder to get another loan to cash me out of the equation at that upper 20% of equity.

This is very good news as looks like we hit the max. of rate increase already.I don't use sentiment, but the 60% root cause of the inflation is because of oil price.

Other than that, soap, some batteries AA & AAA & 9v, notepad pen dishwasher tabs a smelly candle dog treats poop bags TP paper towel a colouring book/ crayons if they have a kid some Lysol wipes and such. $20 gift certificate for pizza joint hand written “moving sucks, this may help”.

Creating and updating your listing, monitoring your bookings, scheduling cleaners, resupplying toilet paper/soap/paper towels/etc.  

Maybe Murphy's Oil soap all of the wood and leave it as is and see if it rents.I say that because you don't know what's behind that paneling (cost $$$)(40 layers of wallpaper, giant cracks in the lath and plaster, etc...) and from the pic it looks like a lot of cabinets (cost $$$) to replace.If it were mine and I decided to leave it as is, I'd probably do the kitchen floor in (period type) 12 x 12 squares and replace the carpet with dark LVP and see how much rent I could get for it.Probably a new Formica top and a new Dish Washer (just to avoid service calls on the old one) and Greige the wall color.Of course from the pics I can't tell the condition of the cabinets--but have have seen similar ones of that age in incredible shape.Good Luck!

I am wondering what do to about things like hand towels, soap etc for the house?

The root of the problems created today in the wholesale space are people getting properties under contract with no intention of ever closing on them. 

Josh, you will need to get to the root of the problem!
