Probably And I emphasize "probably" a sand, stain, and poly will take care of thatI've never encounter this issue before 

@Holly Scott , True, when an agent sets up an "email alert" for you, the software usually blocks the selling agent info, and substitutes/emphasizes the "sender" of the email alert.If you've ended the "buyers' agent" relationship, you might just set up your own email alerts via Redfin.com You can there see the Seller's agent within the ad, likely google them and find a phone #.If you're going to be big time REI, consider getting your own license someday and be your own realtor?

Which is also why I emphasize the importance of trying to buy under-value in the first place, and preferably only buying those that have value-adding potential too. 

I completely agree with @Joseph Rice and would emphasize knowing your market rents.

Many of the podcast that I listen to emphasize professionalism and the positive aspects wholesaling can provide for all involved parties, including the sellers.

I can't emphasize enough.

I emphasize this with my kids all the time, like Apollo 13 What does work?  

I always try to emphasize to folks that I am selling my contract, not the property.  

The scope of that project was very similar and was $110,000, but he emphasized that there were multiple issues with that particular property.

For future deals though, make sure you emphasize what you plan to do with the property to everyone involved so they do the proper due diligence on the front end to make sure its capable of being done.
