I spend most of my time in the Pearl and Alberta arts districts.

I'd highly recommend martial arts, specifically Brazilian jiu jitsu to anyone but especially young adults.

He and wife, both artists, are handy people (which remains to be seen) and wish to decorate, renovate the home - the current home is a 60s art deco style home and have not had a major upgrade (think pink and blue tiles in the bathroom).He does not want to risk my selling the home next year to someone else and the lease expires, nor me raising rent or wanting to rent to someone else.

I was wondering if anyone who has done wholesales could recommend any books, podcasts, blogs, etc. to me that are super in depth about the art of wholesaling real estate.

Definitely an art more than a science.

Unlike selling house where you go in chronological/practical order of the home, guests regularly like to see the highlights or MAIN things first.For example, one of your first 5 pictures is the art work which is already noted in other photos of the dining room.

Don't ask for the Art of Syndications, as an example.

It's an art and the pros can do it at least 10x faster and better. 

Your Spring Clean Up should focus on these type of community-builders and just the general spirit of making it a nice place to live.On the "kitten hotel",  some residents are really into unusual yard art.
