I think Google is pretty sensitive to remove the images of people and you could start by requesting that Google remove the photo since it is likely that it depicts your tenants (whether it actually does or doesn't) and see if they will do it.I had not looked but I now see the bigger problem and that is that your Zillow listing shows the same thing.

Seeking advice on wholesaling real estate
10 January 2025 | 2 replies
Hello everyone my name is Omar I’m 24 ,just recently came across wholesaling and I started doing some research on it and it seem like it’s the best option for me now to get my foot on the door and eventually start doing flips down the road. since I’m new to wholesaling and barely know anything about it what books, YouTube chancel, podcasts, even a course that might help me get on track and learn the fundamental of wholesaling.I always come across some type of strategy of real estate that I might consider to pursue but I never end up staying consistent and taking action but my goal is just to learn about wholesaling and find a way to take action now.

If there's a hole, it may be a red flag.b) sensitivity analysis: I examine all the assumptions, and make sure I can live with the worst case scenarios.c) "Stall and see": if they are getting money over multiple years, and there is no penalty for investing later, I would usually wait so I get some real performance data, versus having to look at theoretical pro forma information.d) Recession stress test: I will not invest in anything, until I subject it to recession level stress and see if I can live with the result.
