Jefferson County, which technically allows short-term rentals, is fickle with permits and just revoked one of my clients' permits for arbitrary reasons.-- The biggest indicator of turning public sentiment was just last month, in December, when voters in Woodland Park approved a ban on vacation rentals that also appears to NOT grandfather in existing licensed properties. 

I personally use the mass text capabilities through my Resident RE CRM.However I have a few friends who wholesale and invest and use Mobile Monkey to mass text and from what they say the price is pretty reasonable.

The reason so many people struggle with wholesaling is simple: they don’t understand lead generation.Take a moment to think about your approach.

Is there a reason you aren't willing to do your own diligence and invest on your own and choose to knowingly take a worse deal through a TK provider?

Yes, I was tempted to type "these words are likely accurate" ;)  The reason is because tax rules are very much case-by-case, and your mileage may vary.Here is an important clue in your particular situation: ...I manage the rest?

And for most of my clients, they are generally attracted to a city or market for personal reasons and THEN then find a property that works for them rather than looking at general market numbers...meaning, my clients can make money in ANY market, even ones where the population isn't growing, the rental demand is softening, and the rent-to-price ratios are less than attractive.So to you, does PA mean Pittsburgh, Philly, or central PA?

They reason why they would do this is to get $4 million, and they won't have to foreclose into a bad resale market. 

That is one of the main reasons that I’m so skeptical. 

When you build enough capital/assets/net worth to afford a reasonable monthly cushion you can see if the lifestyle of a full time investor is something you’d want to pursue.  

And, know this:  The #1 reason that Landlords fail is their failure to manage to the lease (source: American Apartment Owner's Assn).
