Here's the solution-- go find the realtor(s) that have worked that very area in the last 3 years.

I really don't want the liability, but is there any other solution?

This signals that this is my final offer.Focus on win-win solutions. 

Two potential solutions I have in my mind are:1.

The good news, there are usually solutions and options for you to explore. 

With the ever changing market, I'm looking to learn about how everyone else is finding solutions to the challenges we are facing. 

I don't have the room to add a Washer and Dryer, so I'm trying to come up with a solution that I can offer.

@Andrew Grimmett If a seller is hesitant due to capital gains taxes, consider creative solutions: suggest an installment sale (seller financing) to spread tax liability over time, a 1031 exchange to defer taxes by reinvesting in another property, or a structured sale for flexible deferred payments.

Even with a shared bathroom and living room, your place is likely much nicer than the average extend-stay motel, so if your rents are competitive, then you can likely serve this avatar.You may find that a 5/2 is an acceptable temporary housing solution for a family displaced after an insurable loss (fire, flood, etc.).

A better solution, in my opinion, is not to rely on wholesalers,  as not only is it a dying breed due to the sheer incompetence they exhibit due to gurus' wrong instructions and teachings, but, wouldn't it be better to generate your own leads through a high performing website?
