If so, I anticipate that the other two tenants may ask the one responsible for the bedroom above to pay for most or all of the costs, which may be financially burdensome for that tenant.While I have the plumber’s report confirming that the pipes are fine, I do not have definitive evidence that the leak was caused by the tenant’s actions.

For the typical wholesale the steps are really just fine a deal through marketing, have them sign a wholesale contract, have an established buyers list and send it to them, get a buyer to sign an assignment of contract agreement, and when you close you get paid out your fee from the title company.

Or just have a tenant sign a move in inspection docs that states everything was checked by tenant and is working fine?
