Thanks all, only clarification is I’m making money in Summer, and apologies for miscommunication - I meant on average (annually) I’m losing 5-10k so realistically will lose $75k on it first 12 months operating (but created about $800k of equity).

The best wholesalers operate ethically and understand the business.

If so, then that could be a fraud not really "mortgage fraud" because it really has nothing to do with the loan itself as you are not party to the loan just a simple fraud aka a deception to obtain something of value.

If I am looking at a operating STR, I know where to make changes and opportunities.

Any feedback/suggestions are always helpful, and I think you could find it beneficial for your operations as well.

It's never fun when buyers get overly picky, especially over something so simple like a GFCI outlet.

Standard PM software just doesnt have the sales features to keep up with operations and tools like Follow Up Boss are not geared towards PM's to do thier actual job.Would love to hear yalls thoughts.

What MAY make sense is to setup a Master LLC that operates like a PMC and collects all your rents, pays all your property-related expenses, etc. 

The reason why you're struggling is quite simple, all you have to do is ask yourself who the buyer is if and when you sell.

My degree is aerospace engineering so Hunstville, AL has been very interesting to me as well for not only work but also real estate but while I might not be tied down to where I live now its also not as simple as just packing up and moving.
