"low balling" doesn't necessary meet those standards.The way that realtor's generally have to work is provide the seller the true and accurate comps (market value) as well as expressing to them that you could also buy it at a discount but buy it fast, no repairs, etc (all the other stuff wholesalers say/provide).

I was able to mitigate but you really have to understand people and the various reactions to stuff they may have. 

My sincere hope is that someday we can all raise enough awareness, have the right protections in place, that the vast majority of this stuff goes away. 

Most wholesalers lock stuff up for next to nothing etc..

Then maybe, maybe, you could do some stuff on your own.

You don't have to pay cash.Rooms to go has zero interest on whole rooms of furniture all the time.Put the other stuff on a credit card and pay it off quickly.

Plenty of pool tables and most other stuff on FB marketplace. also doing air hockey, dual pop a shot (basketball), skee ball and a multi-cade.

Pretty steep stuff man.

.- bunch of other random crap about how the house should look, similar to an HOACan anything be done to overturn some of this stuff?

Rentals do good, but screen, lots of scammers for LTR, and STR can get the entitled wealthy for Orange County who are messy and destroy and steal stuff.
