Do not rely on it for legal advice.

The utility company doesn't manage your property...they provide paid services until they're not paid anymore. 

J Scott, one of the more respected authors/authorities on BP, provides scenarios in which wholesaling can be done legally and ethically.  

Again, I’m not sure if these guys do this to everyone or if their customer service ability as partners is just terrible.

Yes, I have general expenses that are not attributable to a single property, like legal and accounting and home offices like you mentioned.

That is done via placing the highest quality tenant possible, keeping issues to absolute minimum, keeping maintenance and service calls to minimum, because to make it work properties have to operate on cruise-control.

I understand this is not a requirement, but I have never received a damaged unit from an inherited tenant or any legal issues.

Their pro formas felt optimistic with providing 6% annual appreciation and property management that is only about 6% of rent so I take it with a grain of salt (they offer their own property management services but it has terrible reviews on Yelp so I would probably go with someone else). 

Stand out, be unique, and offer something of value that you would love if you were a traveler (cleaning service, amenities, a theme, etc.)Happy to help you find a place if you want some help on the agent side.

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.
