It helps build a strong cohesive team when people prefer to work with others on their team.

What @James Wise said.Plus, 60 amps, that might be old 110V service and those old fabric covered wires.The flickering and surging might be the OLDEN DAYS fabric wires arcing inside the walls (a fire on it's way to starting).Even if the outlets have 3 prong holes and you see some ROMEX, it doesn't mean they redid the whole system with ROMEX, there will be hidden from view junction boxes that might still have old wire in them, or old plastered over live wires.Fix it quick--flickering and surging is not a good thing--it's very dangerous.You may be forced by law to bring it up to current code, GFCI Breakers, etc... ($$$$)And make sure the smoke detectors are up (not expired) and working properly.I shudder to think how you will feel if someone burns to death in there.

@Karen Margrave yes still going strong with over 2400 members.

I am finishing a renovation project right now in Cincinnati, Ohio that is a triplex and I am strongly considering doing a STR on the top unit.

Looking to do a cosmetic rehab for a two family and get some tenants with strong rents in there before refinancing.

@Isaiah FranklinIt would depend on your goals and views on what is a "short-term rental" but I noticed you're from Cincinnati which has a strong healthcare presence/industry. 

We average the credit score of all applicants, so a strong applicant pulls a weaker one higher.

You will have two escrows, two closing, and two sets of closing costs in this method and you will also need to bring funds to the table to close the transaction between you and seller.More importantly, assignments as a means to wholesale are typically executed illegally as they violate CA DRE laws for brokering without a license so I strongly suggest that you look into the legalities of your wholesale structure before you proceed.
