Here on the West coast the wholesaler is just a different animal..

By no stretch is this legal advice, but handling the insurance is, as you know, a different animal relative to subject-to acquisitions.

If I want a certain skim coat depth on the drywall, I say that.

I prefer a rent increase based on the type/size of the animal.

Even the animals knew it was a bad area. 

Short term rentals are their own animal. 

Sorry to be honest but I'm not one to sugar coat things.This is like buying a car that I know the motor is bad and I don't have the money to fix it .

It's like a different animal, including the wind damage clause.

I emailed him about it after I searched the work and the time between coats and he said he used a dry torch for the sealant or whatever it's called and said he performed work that should have cost me $14k.

I assume you're referring to a specific complaint like an unauthorized occupant or animal?
