A lot of wholesalers are trying to pick apart the description of "wholesaling" and making assumptions on the "marketing" aspect of the new bill.

Im curious if they are decent on other aspects.

Change the air filters, make sure sprinklers are set and watering, landscaping done, check on cracks and leaks, visually inspect roof, also checking for pets, and how many people living there.
