I sent them a text with an informal notice that if I don't hear back from them about the changes in their arrival plans and don't receive the first months rent by tomorrow I will presume they no longer plan on taking possession of the property at which point I will make a formal legal notice.

Quote from @Conrad Tillman: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: LOL  its kind of like 50 ways to leave your lover.And its very much dependent on your jurisdiction. however I will list the stuff I have gone through the last decade or so through about 200 new builds in 4 markets.1. material price fluctuations. rarely down almost always up pretty much annually. 2. as we all know labor  scarce  and or unqualified and do poor work..

I generally avoid wholesalers because my experience has been that they are unwilling to use a standard purchase agreement that is fair to both the buyer and seller and they do 'shady' stuff.

Within an hour of check-in, we send a message like, “Hey Jane, I just wanted to make sure you arrived ok and everything is perfect!

I arrived at $450K based on working backwards to what loan amount at 80% LTV could be supported based on the rents and DSCR of 1.25.

Whoever taught you that I would go to them and do what they did as this setup for an ownership structure in my opinion is far to complex and your CPA is going to be scratching there head at end of year with all the tax stuff they will have to do and how you have to keep bank accounts for each entity and move money form one to the other to the other....

You might get 10 years out of it.I have higher end rentals that came with carpet in bedrooms and they have really lasted because we have upscale guests that don't do crazy stuff.

You should be able to change the "to" and reply address for a gmail account to use the professional looking address, yet retain the stuff you like about your gmail account.

If you must have carpet, go with something neutral like you mentioned.Darker tans or something with a speckled pattern would be nice and hide stuff.

Most of the distressed wholesaler stuff is the bottom of the barrel, C class, or worse.
