Wholesaling, when done legitimately,  is perfectly fine with many brokers including mine. 

Hi, mate, do you know whats included in that money?

One was a "steal" for the price: came with 3 TVs (including an 82") and an 8-camera security system.

This includes ensuring the property is safe, habitable, and in good repair.

I manage a short-term rental in San Diego and am considering integrating my in-laws’ STR under this operational model to reduce taxable income.Establishing an LLC seemed like a way to merge our business accounts, potentially decreasing taxable income from our STR by accounting for expenses from an added unit.

Even if you don't plan to sell, you'll always want to be analyzing all potential exit strategies (including selling). 

This includes 1 off-street parking spot - which is very desirable in South Beach) HOA is $802 and taxes (with no exemptions) are $3192.

I recommend a community bank close to the property, to include credit unions. 

In all, we were able to do a cash-out refinance after 1 year and got our entire investment, including down payment, back into our personal accounts and we still have a cash flowing property.The beauty of smaller town and communities is that often big-time investors are not looking at them as closely and they can cash flow quite well, at the sacrifice of "natural" appreciation.

sounds like you're being thoughtful about this and you got some really thoughtful responses back, including from@Travis Timmons@Michael Dumlerjust to pile on - it is very, very difficult to, in the short term, replace W2 income with income from long term rentals.
