Wholesaling, when done right, can be a win-win for everyone involved, and my goal is to ensure that happens through transparency and education.

Hopefully their deposit is higher than the damage, but if not, you can document everything and try small claims court, but honestly it is not worth your time as you are unlikely to see the money if you win.

And I genuinely believe there can be such a thing as win-win.  

Looked award winning.

Agree with @Marcus Auerbach...many of the folks you are hoping to win over here own 7 figures worth of real estate.

Gregg posted a great article with information into one of the more popular markets (Conway) just announcing a win for property owners.

Oh yeah, it opens an artery on them, because the better DOMESTIC economy goes local small business wins. 

Stupid loses more than smart wins. 

I've had several wins that way; nice as it offsets those losses that are bound to happen with repair expenses!
