I have found that "good wholesalers" do not actually exist (unicorn style).In my opinion, the business model of wholesalers (get under contract and assign for a quick payoff) is not the max way to monetize the ability to find a good deal.I wholesaled my first property I found via direct mail and the second we closed I realized I just gave away (literally gave away) 20k.So I quickly found a better way to monetize the properties I found.I believe wholesalers only exist until they find a better way (usually requires a little capital/connections) to monetize the deals (like means to an end).For example, after my first wholesale transaction, I made 9k and my buyer bought a property worth 95k for 72k.Who in the heck would not buy that!!

Here's a simpler natural gas option: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200...I'm not sure if you're supposed to use it indoors though but it is vented which leads me to think that it's no different than your standard gas furnace.It looks like there's a more expensive version for use indoors:http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200...There's also natural gas vent-free for less but I'm not sure if I would trust that any more than kerosene heaters

There was a massive indoor mall, Northridge Mall which now stands abandoned and is pretty eerie looking if you drive around the parts of the "beltway" around Northridge that they allow you to drive on now.
