So that they have a little on going skin in the game if they feel it is truly a good dealIn my experience I have not seen that.. wholesalers are all about getting paid up front.. end of that discussion.. many need the money to keep feeding the marketing machine and simply are not financially able to take back end profits .. thinks more of a used car salesmen mentality than a sophisticated JV partner

The cost from year 6 on tends to be more as machines and equipment some start winding down their useful life expectancy.

Did your home end up in Tornado alley, in the swamp or in a storm surge area that washed your precious family and all your worldly belongings away?

I can’t wait for most of them to wash out over the next year or two or the RE commission to catch then and fine them  a couple of case like that would scare a lot of people out of doing this     But you can’t ever bet a commission authority to make a definitive statement about it.  

I would go on eBay and buy a couple fake 15$ security cameras and mount them up in the corners of ceilings under them leave a sign that says overloading the machines damages the units .Then it will be at operators expense and cameras are in use to verify . 

I have access to the VA loan which would allow me no money down to house hack and move out 1 year later and rent it out, refinance, wash and repeat.

Here's my point, if you drive on the property and the parking lot has pot holes and you can't see the striping, weeds are overgrowing the sign, the exterior of the building has been painted in 15 years or, if brick, has never been power washed, what's going to be your first impression as you drive on the property, if you even make the turn.If you do come on the property everything you look at, even if the interior has been completely renovated, you're going to find fault and continue to look for what else is wrong.That said, as you're renovating the exterior the tenants will actually start to get excited.

They do all the work for you - but I think they want to wash theirs hands of the property after 3 years.

We have to share our washing machine & dryer and our garden & patio with our tenants.

Obviously you are not the legal owner of these firearms and I would wash my hands with them completely.
