Determine local/state laws regarding wholesaling and determine if (1) you need to be licensed in the jurisdiction you’re considering and (2) if you’ll be able to operate profitably while remaining legally compliant2.

We have visited the market multiple times in the last six months but remain uncommitted to expanding. 

So the goal is to sell the property but remain as a tenant. 

I find myself spending a little more off season than on as I do more tweaking and research to remain competitive and in front of eyeballs.  

The hard part is actually remaining disciplined to manage that emotion and not losing that conviction when it does get ugly.

Maybe they are good people and want to pay for the damages and remove the remaining tree?

I'm saying you invest with appreciation on my mind, and make sure you're situating it to remain cash flow neutral to positive via other mechanism.

Then the few that are remaining you can look closer at their track record (often after signing an NDA)  to see if it meets your other criteria or not.Good luck.

Sometimes it’s the smartest move to gain liquidity and to secure your position with your remaining properties.
