So now  it's clear that you're issue is with wholesalers using assignments as a business model because you believe they have no intentions on utilizing their own funds to close on the property, but just to assign.My question is this, what makes double closing so much different from assignments because if a wholesaler gets a property under contract, circulate the deal to buyers, then double closes via a day funder, there still was no intent for that wholesaler to buy.

We also used the opportunity provided by the extend of the demolition to do the following:Install a free-floating, insulated (R10) subfloor (a first for us) over the slab on the main level;move the laundry under the stairs to the second level - a better use of space than the deep sloped ceiling closet that was there;resize kitchen - we made the kitchen 42" longer, but this necessitated moving the electrical panel into an 18" upper cabinet;reconfigure the bathroom - with the laundry not moved out of the bathroom, we made the bathroom a little deeper (about 6"); moved the toilet slightly; shifted the tub about 18" and moved the vanity to the other side of the room;reduce the size of the living room window to an 18" transom window giving much more usable wall space;replace the broken windows with Energy Star certified windows tuned for their exposure;build an entertainment feature wall on the living room side of the stairwell.open-up both sides of the stair well (living room and hall by bathroom) - this allows for better air circulation - a necessity when we install the heat pump.Here are a few select shots of the process:Demolition begins:Repairing sections of wall:All electrical and data network runs were installed, then next came the insulation:We finished shifting our plumbing and patching the slab.Next we "leveled" the slab ... ok, we made it better ... and laid the subfloor:Note that we installed 4" high, plywood spacers around the perimeter to keep the floor ~1/2" away from the external walls.  

I look forward to the circulating information BiggerPockets provides.

@Chris May You want to take half of a building out of circulation and expect it to be cashflow positive in a tight market?

Advising tenants to keep faucets on a slow drip overnight if temps get very cold is a good idea, and opening up cabinet doors to let the heat circulate to pipes can help as well.One thing to think about with winterizing is that it really is a pretty simple process, but will help you avoid water damage to vacant properties...even if you intend to keep the heat on, a winter storm with high winds or heavy snowfall can knock out the power and then you end up with NO heat at all.

Also consider timers, one for a whole house fan to keep air circulating a few hours a day, and one for outside light(s), so they don't get left on all day.These aren't really wiring solutions, they can be added to almost any home's existing wiring.

@Jerusha Holder The difference between a successful and unsuccessful Agent usually circulates around intelligence and ones ability to priorities and discriminate between who is a worthwhile Client, and who is wasting your time and knowledge.  

Cause could be poor circulation.

Smoking is very negative to the healing process (blood circulation, clotting etc) and if this lady is older, her immune system while smoking will be significantly impacted...she'll be inside longer to recover even during the warm times...Look at your business and focus there.  

Id also suggest adding a fan in addition to the Dehumidifier just to help circulate the air.
