But in normal circumstances, the seller is only out some time and some holding costs... again, not good.Hopefully the wholesaler did it right, made all the appropriate disclosures and explained how the process works -- that this could happen. 

I have a good friend that tells the tenant that if  any circumstance comes up that they cant pay there rent like losing a job or any reason that he will give. there unused days of rent back and the deposit if they get out and leave it like they found it when they moved in . this way the sooner they vacate the more money they will have !

I just closed a property on Monday with somewhat similar circumstances.

We have a listed pet fee and are per friendly however occasionally encounter those who ‘forgot’ or neglected to tell us they were bringing their dog... in those cases we fall back on the listed pet fee rate.

This is true in 90% of cases, probably 97% of cases for BP members, and not to nitpick, but there are circumstances wherein the person is W2 salary, doesn't own other real estate, has no self employment, their employer's HR is signed up for all the e-verifications, etc, AND the borrower correctly enters their employment info when filling out the online app ("ABC Company L.L.C." v "A.B.C.

I think you should give sales a chance, at least don’t neglect the opportunity to open another income stream aside from teaching and investing.

This circumstance certainly makes the advantages of this clear to me now.As one payment has already been processed, would this be an issue to implement now? 

So depending on what you provided and your circumstances, maybe you are an attractive target.

@Jay Hinrichs, I have seriously considered getting licensed, but I've heard many times that unless you are a full time realtor, you have no hope in making any kind of money that way.When I was going through the process of finding my current home, I was reminded of my love of homes and architecture, and how very easy it is to see if a home was loved or neglected. 

Everything from Hurricane Maria, ill and disappearing contractors, our GC going out of business and neglecting to keep things moving along at a steady pace on our part to blame.
