In effect trying to over value the home to the bank as they were qualified for quite some amount so long as they had 20-25% down.

@Mike Jacovelli while I'm sure that can be discouraging, it might also be a good thing...as long as what you are receiving in genuine concern...People tend to discourage you when they feel like it is protecting you, so maybe spin it around this way: 1) When they voice concerns about the information you're giving them, you can either dismiss it and change the subject (if they are being negative). 2) Do they have any specific concerns that you should actually consider as relevant?

They could care less about the effect on appeal but do care that they live in a space that is more sustainable and supports renewable energy.

Read the rent control regulation that went into effect.  

The three tax assessments, taxes, and effective rates on my houses are as follow, ($170,600, $7,040.91, 4.127%), ($140,200, $6,665.88, 4.755%), and ($171,000, $6,021.48, 3.521%).

@Nathan G. thank you for replying, even if it was an insane amount of math to drudge through early in the AM (:My calculations definitely don't take in the "X" factor of REI; which you nailed it... understanding how to manage the property effectively, and to grow the cash returns inside each property year over year.

Snowball effect on the platforms due to search rankings.

I used the following to calculate expenses: 5% vacancy, 1.16% property tax, 5% of effective gross income for repairs/maintenance , 10% property management, abt $1,100/yr gardening & utilities and $1000/year  for insurance).

In regards to cashing out at 75 ltv I know there's a seasoning period (usually 6 months), so what would happen in my case if it was a private sale and only thing on title is that we have the warranty deed effective a week ago?

@Paul Moorer @James Wise Yeah... so wholesaling without a license is not illegal if done properly... and there are many state to state intricacies that can effect how you have to conduct your business, there's no Federal law on brokering Realestate LOL.
