It does not make sense to lower your rent because he was living alone (assuming they have not been living there from the beginning without your knowledge) so I do not understand your logic from the beginning.

So my logic behind including repairs then is to give me what i want and you can get the price you actually want.

Any input on that logic?

By your logic, the guy that owns a 10-unit building is a fool compared to the guy who owns a 100-unit building, because one vacancy in your building is a 10% loss versus 1% for the other guy. 

Stupid logic? 

Flip is the more logical thing to do but because of the “trendy” location, many investors I speak to tell me that it might make sense to hold it for appreciation.

JUST DO IT WITH LOGIC AND COMMON SENSE.

It sounds logical but I think its a conflict of interest as it encourages you to take risk that perhaps isn’t right for you.  

What I don't understand about your logic is why someone is unethical if they wholesale a property for a large profit but if they buy it and then sell it, they become ethical?

If things don't go well and I don't follow policy I'll get in trouble with my partners.I second this logic.
