I have some Denver clients who do this successfully, but -- as I told them when buying -- this is a gray area that appears to circumvent the intent of the law.Again, talk with a lawyer or other local expert in your area. 

I don’t think, personally, there is a “wrong” answer, as long as you’re operating like a business, with separate personal and business accounts, have adequate insurance (from an umbrella and the property policies in my opinion), and consult legal advice in your state/county on issues that are gray areas.Good luck to you.

I can appreciate your frustrations @Jalah Gray....been there a couple of times myself.

@Richard Gray Thanks for the recommendation.

@Dorien Gray if you bought a tax lien you do.

Paint is on trend tones and floors are Ideally vinyl planks in a distressed wood look with grays, browns and beige to hide dirt/damage and go with everything.

You will almost always recoup your investment by replacing it, if going with carpet I recommend choosing a nice neutral lighter color (no grey /peach / etc. undertones, compare swatches side by side and see how they reflect in both light and shade - sometimes colors look similar but side by side and in shade one reflects light well and the other one looks dirty). 8 lb rather than 6 lb pad doesn't cost much more and makes the carpet feel more luxurious.I agree with @JD Martin about the vinyl plank floors, just choose a color that's not trendy and a pattern that's not too busy - I think gray has been overdone and is on its way down the ladder although still popular, and a warm neutral that has a touch of gray may be better.

@Loretta Gray Do you think it will stay this way?

Application fee is a gray area.

If you plan to join wholesaling with not much knowledge, know you are joining a world that is in the legal gray area and requires disclosures.
