I don't take offense to the letters offering $56k when a property is worth $140k.

Out there, you still have to deal with California's high taxes and tenants protections, but you don't have the benefit of being in a land-constrained, coastal, global destination.What you want to do is buy in a quickly appreciating LA submarket.

You'll find that individuals who own property that you think are abandoned might find the term offensive.

As someone who used to be a tenant, frankly, I find this phrase to be offensive.

No offense to all above me, but you are doing it all very very wrong.Let me paint a picture for you all.All these leads are completely free.

Well intentioned limitations on considering actual criminal history are becoming laws that insist you let people in regardless of offense and timing.

Equity skimming shall be classified as a level II offense under chapter 9.94A RCW, and each act of equity skimming found beyond a reasonable doubt or admitted by the defendant upon a plea of guilty to be included in the pattern of equity skimming, shall be a separate current offense for the purpose of determining the sentence range for each current offense pursuant to RCW 9.94A.589(1)(a).

but it would be way cool for me personally to add that.. however I suspect its not worth it for the global user of PR.. 

“First in Time” effectively creates protections for individuals who would otherwise fail an initial “interview” process due to questionable or offensive character traits – ie, a prospective tenant arrives late, under the influence of drugs / alcohol, makes offensive comments about other groups or individuals, etc." 

And I'll just throw this out there (no offense to anyone) but wholesaling has a negative connotation.
