@Hal Thompson You are mostly correct, however probate is NOT the only way to effectuate a transfer. 

Hello @Hal Thompson and thanks so much for your advice.

Thanks @Michael Thompson!

First off @Aly Thompson , welcome to BP.Make individual appointments with the contractors and in general if you can't be present at the flips on a daily basis, not all day but enough to make your presence felt so work progresses, then take @Will Barnard's advice and hire a PM.

However, there's always going to be a gray-area when it comes to the distinction between "wholesaling" and "brokering-without-a-license."  

@Steve Babiak  - PAWS of Grays Harbor is open two days a week, Wednesday and Saturday. 

They were just general things about the industry.I commend you for going out and getting licensed and wanting to do things the right way.The real issue here is the entire topic of wholesaling is a very gray area for those that are licensed and those that are not licensed.Granted the term "wholesaling" can mean several different things.1. 

Makes sense, @Jake Thompson and @Tim White.Update: PM showed the place to a tenant last week who didn't mind the carpet. 

I was leaning towards a medium gray?

@Anthony Thompson, definitely a good point that once it's spent, I can't get it back for something that really is needed...and we definitely will need it for improvements as soon as one unit turns over.
