Hi @Charlie Green, I am extremely interested in hearing more about this strategy.

Most common scenario I see is "should I sell?"

We will shop for used appliances where we can when we need one… or pick up used cabinets if we can, or search eBay for something smaller,  but going to the extreme of personally shipping something big in internationally for one-off renovation needs seems like a stretch of reasonable.Just like you mention, the number of unknowns would not seem to be worth it to me.Just my 2 cents.Randy  

Once that is complete, the property is yours.Now all that being said, it makes me EXTREMELY nervous that you don't understand the process and your only go-to is a wholesaler.
