This is annoying and disruptive, and with the continuous flood of new wholesalers trying their hand at the game, the onslaught will probably generate enough complaints from normal people that eventually encourage the powers that be to crack down on wholesaling, which in Ohio, is apparently an illegal practice of real estate agency. 

This allows you to not be dependent on business practices of OTAs, VRBO and Airbnb telling you how to run your business.

The "dots" are the Realtor postings and the "zeros" are my responses:•“I would not get involved in such a transaction because 1) I don't want to lose my license to practice real estate and go to jail, and 2) I would not be acting in my seller's best interest if he could get a higher price for his home and not be saddled with a larger income tax on the forgiven debt.†oBill Patterson • Quite the contrary!

Apparently, before 2008, it was common practice to transfer your rentals into your own LLC and mortgage companies either allowed it or didn't care.

If you do something that is in poor practice, hiding faults, that can be seen as fraudulent acts and the issue of a contractor being liable for one year on work goes out the window, fraud may begin when it's discovered, so you need to stick to common practice.I agree with Ben, a thick coat or paint would probably do it and I don't care for painted brick either.

Since this will be my first REI attempt, I wanted to keep it relatively simple to gain some practical experience.

I am not sure if this is a solid do not or if it is not best practice.

The common practice today is to tear out old windows because they are "bad".

They no longer do so if I want to sue I must file a federal lawsuit and the attorney was hoping I would to stop the practice of defrauding the public!

It is common practice to introduce your own rental agreement/lease as soon as possible when purchasing property with tenants in place, and it is also important to introduce yourself right away, both formally in a letter and in person (yourself or your property manager).
