I will preface this question by adding an assumption and that's  most who are seeking asset protection services,  do so to protect against claims that could have significant financial repercussions, rather than being  drawn into landlord tenant court over a rent payment dispute because the tenant alleges the boiler is defective, so lets focus our attention there.How do these claims typically start?

Truth time: I suspect the reason you didn't get any responses back from these alleged "wholesalers and investors" is that hardly any of them are actually transacting deals!

It's something people rarely think about, talk about, or admit. 

This is standard business practice - just look up how many settlements the SEC makes annually where companies pay millions in penalties WITHOUT ADMITTING to any wrong doing.- Cash-for-Keys is another example of this!

I've been able to curb a lot of this through large fines in my lease, but even having to pay $1,000 will not always dissuade my tenants from continuing that behavior. 3) IRRESPONSIBILITY OF THE TENANTIf you're renting to students forget about ever getting them to admit to anything.

I will admit the biggest pitfall as you stated is that I stay on the phone and my kids hate it. 

I will admit I speed read your response but I didn't see where addressed any idea of pricing.  

NYC and the Bronx and Queens and Brooklyn are generally impossible wholesale areas anyway, but if you add in that you are an out-of-town student alleging to buy people's houses, NYers will eat you alive.

The goal of the lawsuit allegedly was to make it more transparent and now it is about 800x less transparent.

They admitted to their error but they're not doing anything about it.
